Serial Killer Games

By (author) Posey, Kate
Short description/annotation:

The Hating Game meets Dexter in this rom com with a heart of darkness.
A morbidly funny and emotionally resonant novel about the ways life-and love-can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).

Description:

What would you do if you thought your (strangely fascinating) coworker was getting away with murder?

Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mould perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field ... including fields of unmarked graves.

The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.

Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn''t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can''t help but wonder if, finally, he''s found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.

Until Dolores asks Jake''s help to dispose of a body...

Review quote:
This dark, witty romance has wickedly sharp edges and a bloody, vibrant centre. Relatably weird and refreshingly different, Posey offers up a twisty kind of love about accepting your own strangeness - and the strangeness of others. A beautifully literal tale of cold hands, warm heart that will convert you if you think you''re not a fan of romance novels
Review quote:
This compelling blend of romance and mystery is beautifully written and utterly unique - let the games begin!
Review quote:

A brilliantly funny, fantastically original romance with characters who manage to be dark, witty, sharp and loveable, all at the same time. I don''t think I''ve ever read anything quite like it and I loved it!
