'Funny, sexy, clever ... full of witty banter' Jane Casey, No. 1 bestselling author
What would you do if you thought your (curiously compelling) coworker was getting away with murder?
Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mould perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field ... including fields of unmarked graves.
The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn't come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can't help but wonder if, finally, he's found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.
Until Dolores asks for Jake's help to dispose of a body...

As twisty as any true crime podcast, as sharp as broken glass and as dark as midnight. I was obsessed with this funny, sexy, clever book full of witty banter, a beautifully written love story like no other I've ever read. A dangerously edgy delight from start to finish. -- Jane Casey, No 1 bestselling author of A STRANGER IN THE FAMILY
Expect the unexpected in this delicious debut ... twists, turns, and top tier banter which all lead to something rather romantic and very sexy -- Sarra Manning * Red *
This dark, witty romance has wickedly sharp edges and a bloody, vibrant centre. Relatably weird and refreshingly different, Posey offers up a twisty kind of love about accepting your own strangeness - and the strangeness of others. A beautifully literal tale of cold hands, warm heart that will convert you if you think you're not a fan of romance novels -- Alice Bell, bestselling author of GRAVE EXPECTATIONS
This compelling blend of romance and mystery is beautifully written and utterly unique - let the games begin! -- Joanna Wallace, author of YOU'D LOOK BETTER AS A GHOST
A dark rom-com that'll kiss your face and then stab you in the back. Loved it -- L M Chilton, author of DON'T SWIPE RIGHT
A brilliantly funny, fantastically original romance with characters who manage to be dark, witty, sharp and loveable, all at the same time. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it and I loved it!
-- Becky Hunter, author of MEET ME WHEN MY HEART STOPS[An] irresistible debut. [She] tells the tale in bright, punchy chapters that alternate between Dolores's and Jake's perspectives, and populates their love story with a cast of charming weirdos. Fast and funny....It's a wickedly entertaining good time * Publishers Weekly *
Darkly funny and surprisingly tender, Serial Killer Games is a deliciously offbeat story of love, suspicion, and shared secrets. * She Knows *
A humorously gruesome love story with a murder in the mix * Library Journal *
If you are looking for a book that has a bit of everything, an anti-love story and two protagonists who will frustrate the life out of you, then I highly recommend Serial Killer Games. It took me on an unexpected journey, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. * BookTrib *
