About the book
Two serial killers who only hunt other killers keep bumping into each other, so they start a rivalry: who can take out the worst monster first. It is funny, gory and genuinely sweet, the hero falls first and hard, and the spice is very explicit. The best place to start if you want dark with a grin.
