Eat Your Heart Out
First of all, I'd like to set the record straight. I wasn't a cannibal, ¿kay? I didn't eat people. Just men. I ate their hearts out before they ever saw me coming. Figuratively, of course. Most of the time. Sometimes a girl had to do what a girl had to do. And sometimes what I had to do was fry those suckers up with a little bit of buttermilk and enough shortening to give ya coronary. I wouldn't ever apologize for it. Which was something else you should know about me. I was unapologetic. Then again, so was he. Else the hotshot with a blade bigger than his d*ck wouldn't have barged his way into my little apartment without so much as a "my bad, sorry for disturbing you, ma'am." And I wouldn't have been forced to tie him to a chair and teach him some manners. But here we are, ain't we? Just a sweet little Southern girl and the big bad pickle-diddler who thought he was about to get his rocks off. Guess it wasn't his lucky day. Sure was mine, though. Eat Your Heart Out is a dark standalone novella with a HEA. Please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

The higher the hair, the closer to God indeed.
She's a cannibalistic serial killer vigilante, he's just trying to pay off his debt to the mob (buy robbing people). Unfortunately for him, he breaks into the wrong house tonight... or is it? This book brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Smash & Grab' ;);)
I loved the whole dynamic between Charlee (FMC) and Jack (MMC). Their banter was top tier funny, sarcastic and a little unhinged. The way they kind of just get each other and don't fight too hard against their connection is great, I mean she ties him to a chair and then uses his phone to call his mum and tell on him for breaking into her home. He thinks she's crazy, and she is but in the best way and I think it's obvious from his 'reactions' that he's into it a lot more than he lets on.
The spice was extra spicy and was great seeing the female lead be in control for a change. I have to say that Charlee is very inventive and has a wonderful imagination.
There is a little mystery to this book and I love how it unravels as the night goes on and how you go from thinking one thing to being quite surprised by the outcome.
I loved this book and I am truly honoured to have been given an advance reader copy to review. Sybil Knight is clearly unhinged and that makes her my new best friend, look forward to reading more of her work. Who knows, maybe we will hear more from Charlee and Jack?
