After finding out her family wants to kill her best friends husband and his brothers, Lark marries his brother to try to save them. 

Weaver does it again, she manages to write an absolutely hilarious book about serial killers. The banter and sass of these characters is top notch! 

Lark is a singer, crafter, dog mom, and secret 'multiple deleter', she even turns a victim's "casket" into a coffee table! Lachlan is a leather worker and a killer for hire, working of his and his brothers debt. 

I love all the little things Lachlan does to earn back Lark's trust after putting her in the trunk of a car when they first meet. There are so many little things, and creepy things (ie. The heart!), that he does to show her that he cares. I really enjoyed the development of their relationship. They were obviously attracted to each other, but Lachlan worked to earn her respect before allowing the relationship to progress. 

Even though we didn't get a ton of background about the characters, I felt like they were pretty dynamic and well developed. I would have liked a bit more background. 

I enjoyed all of side characters and revisiting Sloan and Rowan. Her aunt was a fantastic addition to the book. The spiked muffins were so spiteful, I loved it. 

Tropes: enemies to lovers, marriage arrangement, serial killers
