See moreKill to Love is a dystopian dark rom-com featuring fated mates with a strong leaning toward enemies-to-lovers. It is also unhinged, hilarious, and incredibly spicy.
Trigger warnings for Kill to Love include:
- Detailed sex scenes which include incorrect ways of wearing sunglasses.
- Offence to the Flat Earth Community.
- Stalking and unsuccessful kidnapping.
- Villainous side characters who may commit cannibalism.
- Torture.
- Offence to those of the Gemini astrological sign.
- This book is not meant to be taken seriously.
And here is the storyline . . .
Delphine De Astor has never cried - and worse, she's never felt her heart pull toward a Soulmate. In a society where that emotional absence brands her as 'Soulless', Delphine is deemed evil, unlovable, and disposable. Her sentence? A televised ten-day Execution Battle where the Soulless must fight to the death for public entertainment - complete with commercial breaks for stain remover.
Dropped into the chaos pantless and armed with nothing but sunscreen, Delphine faces cannibals, incestuous lovers, men who may just be psychopaths - or Geminis - and a madman in a pink sequinned crop top. But the most dangerous contender of all is Dig Graves: a notorious serial killer with dark hair, a relentless fixation on Delphine, and a habit of hiding his eyes behind heart-shaped sunglasses.
Dig once tried to kidnap her. Now he's hunting her through the Battle.
And when they finally meet, Delphine's heart does something it's never done before . . .
If you love Lights Out and Butcher & Blackbird, you will absolutely adore Kill to Love, a subversive, laugh-out-loud exploration of love, morality, and identity, asking what it really means to be a monster.

About the Author
Penny Sunday is an Australian author who is obsessed with writing fun romance stories.
