Kill 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.
