You need to kill and I need to die. Let’s talk.
Dexter meets Killing Eve in this sapphic psychological suspense when a woman considering suicide posts a Craigslist ad for a serial killer.
Being a killer comes easy to Dani. So easy it’s getting boring, in fact. But this girl isn’t taking orders from anybody, not even fate. If she’s going to keep up with the stab-and-shovel work, she’s going to create her own code for who deserves a medal or a bullet. When she happens across a Help Wanted ad that would allow her to do just that…she’s intrigued.
Jeika wants to die. Preferably, before the cops who are on her tail find the evidence to prove what she did. Except the only one who can help her do that? Is also the one who’s starting to make her life interesting again.
The last thing Dani expects is to fall for her next victim through the secret emails they share. But before they can decide if their new love is enough to change their very opposite fates, a twisted vigilante starts stalking them both.
They may not be ready to fight for themselves, but how far will they go to save each other?

“Unique and bold and utterly enthralling. The type of addictive read that has you calling in sick for work and hiding at home until the last page is turned.” -Kelly Siskind, author of Scarlett Undone
“This book had all the twists, the feels, the voice, and the HOLY SHIT WAIT WHAT? The premise alone made me want to read the book, but it was the emotional core wrapped up in dark humor that made me stay. I was rooting for these weirdo humans the whole way through and I was all in from page one. If you like Killing Eve, this is your jam.” –Heather Demetrios, PEN-award winning author of Something Real
