This was a fun read and had me hooked right from the very beginning of the story. Hazel and Fox live this extravagant life of traveling and going to fancy parties.  They are madly in love with each other and share one dark secret… they are both serial killers, that is until they have a child together.  Fox is determined to protect his family at all costs, and makes a pact with Hazel that they will stop the killing spree of bad men to protect their daughter. This book is fast paced as we see how they quickly fall into a marriage full of deception and lies, and the aftermath of those secrets. They both resent each other, when the passion of their darkness once brought them close. Hazel feels trapped into a retirement she didn’t want, and starts to question every move Fox does, while Fox feels like everything he does isn’t enough and it all becomes too much for him.  Of course one of them slips up and I’ll let you read to see how it all unfolds. 

I liked how this book shared the ups and downs of their marriage and internal struggles with POVs from both Hazel and Fox.  Some aspects were relatable. The ending I felt was very unrealistic, but that being said I enjoyed the story as a whole. Let’s just say that I read the first 40% on New Year’s Eve and then woke and didn’t get out of bed until I finished it on New Year’s Day. My plans for the day had to be adjusted because I needed to know how this was all going to end. I kept saying I was going to pause after each chapter and just couldn’t.
