I groaned at the cheesiness of that line, giving him a playful swat. But the truth was that it wormed its way into my heart regardless. It made me dream, for one night at least, of something I hadn't even dared to as a young girl lying in this same bed--- that all the pink heart valentine, sappy love song stuff might be real, and be something I could have.” PDF / EPUB File Name: Love_in_the_Time_of_Serial_Killers_-_Alicia_Thompson.pdf, Love_in_the_Time_of_Serial_Killers_-_Alicia_Thompson.epub 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.

Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson | Goodreads Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson | Goodreads

There's a lot of exploration of Phoebe as a character and why she views the world the way she does. I actually really enjoyed Phoebe. I liked her dry sense of humor and sort of cynical way of viewing life and love. Unique, sexy, hilarious, charming... the perfect beach read for anyone who loves witty banter, intelligent plotting, and compelling characters... The true crime is NOT reading this novel! Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis Speaking of chemistry, the love scenes are very, VERY open-door and graphic. I wouldn’t say the book is pornmance, but it comes close. Just a heads up. The writing was fine. The style was casual, such as there was some abrupt sentences and some slang acronym, that I wasn’t a fan of. My bra was half-askew by now, one strap falling down my arm. "If my boobs are out, you're contractually obligated to say that.”Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s the release of Dahmer on Netflix, but the whole obsession with the true crime genre thing is not the cute and quirky personality trait that people think it is. If you have a genuine interest that’s great. But I am a bit over it at this point. Once I got through the beginning of this book, it got much better in terms of the story. I much more enjoyed it when Phoebe was getting to know Sam, when she was reconnecting with old friends and her brother, etc, than when she thought Sam was a serial killer. As she pulls up to the house in the middle of the night a strange man in bare feet emerges from the dark. He’s offering to assist her!😱 Phoebe’ serial-killer radar lights up…convinced he must be a murderer! Sure, he’s simply a school teacher that lives next door. But who knows what he does in his off time? Right!?

Love in the Time of Serial Killers (Paperback) - Waterstones

It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbour, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). But it's not long before Phoebe realises that Sam might be something much scarier - a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armour to reach her vulnerable heart.This is why I preferred to keep people at arm's length. Things got so much more complicated when you actually cared if someone sent you a text, or accepted an invitation, or wanted to hang out.”
