Goodreads Synopsis: 

Serial killers versus serial killer in a hot and twisted novella about family games, true love, and competitive carnage by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Ruinous Love Trilogy.

It’s the annual hunt for Sloane and her vigilante family of serial killers. Track the most cold-blooded psychos imaginable and take them down. This summer’s prey is Allan Munster, a churchgoing chicken farmer who slaughters more than fowl. The rules of the hunt: divide into teams, devise a strategy, and make a move—the more cutthroat the better. May the best team win. The players are closing in. All eyes are on Munster. But there’s a hitch in the family sport this year. Someone might be watching them.

Review: 

Quick review for a quick read. This novella comes in at 61 pages and is an addition to the Ruinous Love Trilogy. To understand the overall dynamic, it is best to read the trilogy first.

This short story follows all three couples playing the serial killer game that takes place in book one. They are all competing with each other but to make it more playful make it boys versus girls. There are lots of references to the others books and the same fun and witty banter from the couples and and brothers. There is a fair amount of gore and some murder (obviously). 

The story is told from Sloan's point of view, which was great because she was my favorite across the couples. Overall, I think this was a fun and playful addition to the series and seeing them all together was entertaining. 

I am hoping that this also gives a peak into characters and series to come... we will see.
