4.5 I-wasn’t-ready-for-the-obsession stars

Y’all might look at the cover and think “omg. Those flowers are beautiful; I want some.”

But let me tellllll you… you won’t be able to buy them at the store… because the hero BRED them to match the heroine’s eye color 🥹🫶.

That’s right 🫶. He’s over here creating new life just to resemble his obsession’s eyes 😭.

Awww Jack 🥹🫶❤️ you got my hyoid bone invested 🫠.

Kyrie (27) and Jack (34) are enemies 😅. They’ve been working together for 3 years now at a body farm- a farm where they study how bodies decompose 😅. What a perfect cover up 🤣.

Side note: I can’t even imagine the amount of research Brynne and Trisha had to do 🤣 oh to be a fly on the wall to see all those google searches 👀🤣.

Back to the book… Because of their jobs, Jack’s able to *disguise* his side gig… his life as a serial killer 😅.

What’s ALSO interesting is the fact that Kyrie’s ALSO a serial killer 😳

So not only are they trying to one up each other at work, they’re also doing it on the side 🤣, and yet… they’re also

SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER 👀

They might be the completely opposite of each other (she’s sunshiny, he’s a grump; she’s the sun, he’s the moon; she’s ying and he’s yang… you get my point 🤣), but that doesn’t stop them from wanting to rip off each other’s clothes…

Let the delicious 🔥 tension begin 😉.

What I liked/loved: possible spoilers
—the swooning I did 🫠. Listen. I know it doesn’t make sense 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I couldn’t help but melt throughout the book. Yes. Jack’s a grump. Yes. He can be an a hole, but my gosh, he can be so sweet 🥹. He breeds flowers to get EVERY. NUANCE from Kyrie’s eyes to match them 😭. Like. Seriously??? 😭🥹🫠 how isn’t this so swoon? 🥹❤️. Who does that???
An obsessive sweet serial killer, that’s who 😭

—the 🔥. Uffff. It was 🥵. They have their first kiss at about 36% and then full on 🔥before 50% 🫠 and let me tell you? It’s haaaaaaawt 😅💦🥵 (we’ll ignore the blood around them 🤣)

—somno 👀. It was 😮‍💨. Jack timed it just right too (this was CNC)

—JACKhasJACOBSladderANDthenSOME 👀🔥

—how obsessed Jack is with servicing 😉 Kyrie 💦. Love me a man who’s dedicated to this 👏🏻

—he calls her Lille meje (little reaper)

—he speaks Danish to her 🫶 “Jeg vil være alt for dig, elskede,” (I will be everything to you, love). Gaaaaahhhhh 🫠

—their background ☹️ more specially hers ☹️. Ughhhh… I was so emotional! I felt not only the pain Kyrie was experiencing, but her parents too 😭. This part was triggering… her dad trying to save her, trying to get her to be okay and have the serial killer leave her alone (before he ended up killing both of her parents) was just heart wrenching ☹️😭. I didn’t love this, but I felt her pain, the gut wrenching emotion 😭

—how perfect Jack finds her ❤️ even her scars 🫶

—not me crying for a coyote 😭😭😭😭. It showed Kyrie’s humanity

—the connection Jack and Kyrie have ❤️ past and present 🫶

—dual JPPPPPP 👏🏻. But I really loved it when it came out of Jack 👀. No Sebastian. You may not touch her with your dirty, abusive hands 💁🏻‍♀️💅

—how she knows her smile annoys him, so she smiles harder 🤣🤣🤣🤣

—being protective of each other 😅👀. These two can pretend all they want, but they really have each others’ back 🤣 secretly 👀

What I didn’t like/wanted more of: SPOILERS
—I’m not the biggest fan of doing 🔥 while being covered in other’s blood 😅. But that’s just me 🤣

—a vasectomy? 😭 but I want some babies 😭

—while I understood why “the bad guy” had to be un a lived at the end, I still felt bad 😬. I was hoping we had more dirt on him 🤡 just to make me feel better 🤣

—more of their pasts, especially his 😅. He doesn’t seem like a man hooooar, but I wanted to know for sure 😅 (and other parts too lol not just that).

Overall, I luuuuurved it ❤️
