Not for the faint of heart
I've finished reading my ARC copy of 'Beware the Rosemund Ripper' written by T. L. MacRae. This is a horror romance.
"I am a serial killer, I have killed 27 people, and she frightens me. And she knows it."
So first of all.. Why did I not now that a horror romance was a thing? I mean.. it's just genius. Its not for the faint of heart, thats for sure, but I loved it. So if this intrigues you.. read the triggerwarnings and blurb before doing anything else. Still interested? Than I hope you will love the wild ride as much is I have.
"Psychopathy is a wonderful mix of being hereditary and environment based. Nature and nurture indeed."
The story is about Luna and Cole who have known each other since they were young. Both had there own unbringings that caused 'damage' to them and problems later in life than made the damage even worse. What they dont know is that they are more alike than they have ever known and there is no reason to push the other away.
"Rage or lust, it's always one of the other, swinging violently back and forth in a dangerous equilibrium that is never at peace."
There are a lot of background themes you can discover in this story. Things that are real in the current society, what makes this story more intriguing to me.
This story is about the impact of how you were raised, the changes you make after being treated badly over and over again. The consequences of not having someone to lean on and the fair of being yourself because you will be judged. Okay.. now are Cole and Luna both psychopaths, but still.
I really enjoyed this book and I tell you, if you are not afraid of blood and spice, you will too. I give it five stars!
