"I want to ruin her so that she's mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos."

The viral TikTok friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and sizzling chemistry―unlike anything you've read before.

When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive―the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers.

From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country.

But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love.

Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves?

Or have they finally met their match?

Spoiler-Free Review

Hmmmmm how to describe this dark romance series…. if you and your friends were serial killers and you met 3 Irish brothers in the same line of business, you would have the Ruinous Love trilogy. Kill Bill meets Dexter meets Peaky Blinders 😆

I think the series tried really hard to be whimsically horrific and just didn't quite hit the mark. Book 1 was the best and we should have just left it at that. The only thing I liked about book 2 was that it flipped the script and a vengeful phantom is hunting down the FMC/MMC instead of the other way around. Aaaaaaand book 3 was just a hard pass for me. I almost DNF'd.

It was okay but now I can't eat ice cream. Thanks a lot, Brynne Weaver 🤢😆
