We are starting off kind of strong on the Winter Bingo by reading the prompt "Read a book with a bird on the cover". This has been on my TBR for a while and all I know is that it is a dark romantic comedy. Also that it is kind of like a love story between two serial killers. I kind of like the cover. The black background with the hot pink details are very nice. Sadly, this book isn't in as best of condition since I got it. My dog is evil and put a hole in the cover by stepping on the book because he wants attention. Poor book. Anyways, I'm a few chapters in and I was wondering how they were going to do this whole competition idea. Now I know and Butcher's brother actually picks the target and the two main characters have to figure it out. Who ever kills the target first, wins. Interesting way of things to play out but it really has them use their skills to figure it out. I'm not sure how the romance is going to play out but I am curious about it. I guess I just have to read to find out.

Well I had a night of insomnia and took advantage of it. I'm nearly halfway through the book and I feel like nothing much has happened between our two main characters. We have the typical too scared to be in a relationship while the other is a big flirt that doesn't see what they are doing to the other. The frustration of neither of them giving in is getting on my nerves. Well, we did almost have a moment but instead of a kiss, it gets interrupted by a perfectly timed phone call. That is pretty much where I have left off. Pretty sure the whole drugged out confession would have put things in motion but it didn't. I have no idea when these two will finally be officially together but I hope it isn't at the end of the book. That would really annoy me.

I have another book with an unpopular opinion. I wanted to like this book and I just don't. I feel like it is too over hyped. The beginning is pretty good and then I feel like it just starts fizzling out. To me the book just drags on with the game only keeping it interesting. I'm not feeling the romance and I feel like the spicy scenes aren't that good. I've only found one amusing part in the book and that was right after the second year of the competition takes place. I have less than a hundred pages to read, but I thought I would do a review in case I don't finish the book. I do have a goal to finish it because I am literally almost done. The book also doesn't really have anything major happen that keeps me in the story unless the game is involved. This book is just not for me. But I do plan on reading the second book and hopefully it isn't as dragged out as this book. I like series that focus around a group of people having a book focused on their own story. This one had Rowan and I know the second book has his brother Lachlan. I am really curious about the third brother Fionn's book but that doesn't come out until later this year, because he seems to be the only 'normal' one out of the three brothers. Sadly this book will get two stars out of five from me. I want to give it a higher rating but I just can't.
