Loved Rose and Fionn in this gory romantic comedy!

This book was funny, feral, and somehow adorable while murdering people. I loved how somehow in a world where you know excellent serial killers - Rose was SO BAD at it. Fionn is just out here trying to keep her alive and out of jail - as I feel like he probably did for Rowan and Lachlan - and I loved his exasperation. 

The banter and tension was amazing, and while I loved Rose's growth - I got annoyed with Fionn's and how long it took him to come to his senses. With the ending I understand him protecting her - and the letters definitely helped - but I wanted to let Sloane loose on him. 

Speaking of Sloane... as Rowan and Sloane are my favorite murder babies - the little cameos we saw of them throughout this book and in the epilogue was *chefs kiss*.
