Description

Every serial killer needs a friend.

When Sloane and Rowan meet during a chance encounter, they quickly realize they share a very unusual hobby: hunting other killers. What begins as a twisted coincidence soon evolves into a yearly competition between them—an intense game where each tries to outdo the other by tracking down the most dangerous monsters hiding in plain sight.

Their bloody rivalry takes them across the country—from small towns to big cities—as they compete in their deadly tradition.

But somewhere along the way, their dark friendship turns into something neither of them expected.

Because beneath the violence, sarcasm, and competition, Sloane and Rowan find something rare: someone who truly understands them.

However, the bodies they leave behind come with consequences. As the ghosts of their past begin catching up to them, the game they once controlled threatens to spiral into something far more dangerous.

Now they must decide if their twisted love is strong enough to survive the chaos they’ve created—or if the hunt will finally catch them instead.
