Love in the Time of Serial Killers

By: Alicia Thompson

Narrated by: Lee Daniels

One of Cosmopolitan's Best Romance Novels Ever

Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating—and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.

PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation—if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.

It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier—a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.

First Audio Book = Success

This was my first audiobook, and I'm glad it was with such an amazing book! I absolutely adored the love story and the character development, I really connected with Phoebe. The only reason it was a 4-star for me was because the spicy scenes felt a bit awkward over audio. But the rest of the book was wonderful!

Loved it

This was a heartwarming story about love, loss, and coming to terms with your fears and flaws. The characters were well developed and it gave me all the feels! Highly recommend!

I tried to be supportive of Phoebe I did…..

I give this book 3.5 ⭐️
•
What I liked about this book was that it was funny and that the FMC was able to joke about herself and was able to keep true to who she was when the book started…. I liked the love story between Phoebe and Sam and was really trying to going along with her but she just kept making it so hard.
•
What I did not like about this book was that Phoebe self sabotage a lot in this book and she was kind annoying me with her hot and cold mood towards her relationship with Sam. But other than that I enjoyed the book.

Cute

This was an adorable romance that kept me hooked the whole way. I want a sequel.

Creepy cute

A fun rom com book with deep characters and a healthy does of serial killer facts all set in Florida, what’s not to enjoy!
