Publisher's summary

Open Case File

Memo

Honor my father.

There are four types of serial killers.

Hedonistic.

Power/control.

Mission-oriented.

Visionary.

Not all serial killers are caught. At any given point, there could be as many as 50 serial killers active at a time.

Fifty.

I’m looking for one.

He’s male, likely in his 40s or 50s now. He’s been killing successfully for more than three decades. I suspect even longer, though our timeline is based only on the earliest victim we’ve identified with his signature mark.

Seventy-nine kills that we are certain of.

A year ago, the unsub’s methods changed. It was a subtle shift. Instead of one or two bodies a year, five have been dropped. Forensic evidence remains inconclusive, but in my gut, I know something’s changed.

Either the unsub has a partner or he’s about to become a spree killer.

It’s only a matter of time before someone puts the coin into the right slot and the kill song begins.

Finding the unsub is my obsession. It was my father’s. He died without solving the mystery.

I won’t.

Kill Song is a full-length dark adult romance and psychological thriller with suspenseful themes. Any trigger warnings will be included in the foreword. Some situations may be uncomfortable for listeners. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one in the series.

Not quite sure how I feel about this

I like Vienna. I don’t like Fletcher. I didn’t like Rick at first. He was childlike, not something you want in a romance novel. He grew one me though, and I really liked him by the end of the book. I typically like RH, but this one isn’t put together in a way that I am ok with the “why choose” situation. Rick and Vienna already started a relationship, and he didn’t like fletcher. He was possessive. It felt too much like cheating. I felt she was betraying him. There was too much competition. It would have been a great regular relationship romance. I am going to read the next one, will see if it gets better.

so good, 1st 2 chapters & hooked

First off, yay for anti-heros!

Bonus points, bust out your psych 101, cuz this is just fun!

I love how we get to know these complex characters through the POVs and to watch all the little interactions having big effect on people.

Romance, mystery, house-husbands, and that weird smell coming from the basement... I devoured this book in 24hrs and bought the next in series when I noticed there was only 2 hours left and absolutely had to know how this plays out.

Enjoyed

I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy this even though I I like heather’s other work. I liked the extremely strong main character, she stayed strong and didn’t turn into a whiny helpless woman once the guys started joining her.

love it

The story was great keep me on my toes with the twist and turn of the story line. I always love a dark romance and a strong female lead and this story had this in Spades.

Wow!

So heather long is one of my favorite authors so I knew this was bound to be a good book. However I’m new to blake blessing! They did not disappoint with this one. I didn’t read anything before diving in and I was immediately caught off guard in a very interesting and good way that hooked me from the beginning. Love that book 2 is already out for me to dive into! And the narration is great! This is also the first time I’ve listened to either of them and they both did amazing! I’d recommend this book to my book friends for sure!

Wow!

The narrators are incredible!
Heather & Blake have created an addicting, twisted, and funny new series. Must listen!!!

Awesome

Loved the story line and narrations!! I am super glad I decided to listen to this one!! Love the direction it is headed!

Just ridiculous

Such a ridiculous unbelievable story line. Just makes u roll ur eyes over & over. Only finished it bc I wasted a credit on it. They act like the men are literally dogs & she is their master. But not in a sexy way. In a psychopathic way! Don’t waste ur credit. I LOVE this narrator so I found this book through him & thought it sounded good but nope.
