DEBUTWhat happens when a person suspects their gorgeous new coworker is a murderer? Dolores dela Cruz is consistently on the lookout for serial killers, and she thinks Jake Ripper, the new temp at her office, might be one. Jake, on the other hand, finds Dolores refreshing and intriguing and thinks she’s the only one who gets him. But when Dolores asks him to help dispose of a body, things get weird. Posey’s debut is told from both characters’ points of view as they enter a world of banter, creepy vibes, and of course, a dead body, then get caught up in an awkward love situation. The dual perspectives let readers see the inner workings of the characters and their relationship when fate pushes them together. Throughout the novel, there are fun references to classic horror, plus clever chapter titles. The story gets more complicated as it moves along, while the well-written banter between Dolores and Jake is enjoyable.
VERDICT A humorously gruesome love story with a murder in the mix.
