'A TWISTY, TURN-Y DELIGHT' OPRAH DAILY No 1 in HOTTEST NEW ROMANCE BOOKS OF SUMMER 2025



'Funny, sexy, clever ... full of witty banter' Jane Casey, No. 1 bestselling author





What would you do if you thought your (curiously compelling) coworker was getting away with murder?





Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mould perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field ... including fields of unmarked graves.





The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.





Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn't come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can't help but wonder if, finally, he's found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.





Until Dolores asks for Jake's help to dispose of a body...

Kate Posey is a Canadian author who writes rom-coms for people who find it easier to believe in true crime than true love. Serial Killer Games is her first novel.



As twisty as any true crime podcast, as sharp as broken glass and as dark as midnight. I was obsessed with this funny, sexy, clever book full of witty banter, a beautifully written love story like no other I've ever read. A dangerously edgy delight from start to finish.



Expect the unexpected in this delicious debut ... twists, turns, and top tier banter which all lead to something rather romantic and very sexy



A twisty, turn-y delight ... dive into this darkly comic novel that doesn't take itself too seriously ... Balancing humor and suspense, heat and hijinks ... perfect for anyone who is pretty sure that they could solve a murder if they just had the right partner in crime.



This dark, witty romance has wickedly sharp edges and a bloody, vibrant centre. Relatably weird and refreshingly different, Posey offers up a twisty kind of love about accepting your own strangeness - and the strangeness of others. A beautifully literal tale of cold hands, warm heart that will convert you if you think you're not a fan of romance novels



This compelling blend of romance and mystery is beautifully written and utterly unique - let the games begin!



A dark rom-com that'll kiss your face and then stab you in the back. Loved it



A brilliantly funny, fantastically original romance with characters who manage to be dark, witty, sharp and loveable, all at the same time. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it and I loved it!



[An] irresistible debut. [She] tells the tale in bright, punchy chapters that alternate between Dolores's and Jake's perspectives, and populates their love story with a cast of charming weirdos. Fast and funny....It's a wickedly entertaining good time



Darkly funny and surprisingly tender, Serial Killer Games is a deliciously offbeat story of love, suspicion, and shared secrets.



A humorously gruesome love story with a murder in the mix



If you are looking for a book that has a bit of everything, an anti-love story and two protagonists who will frustrate the life out of you, then I highly recommend Serial Killer Games. It took me on an unexpected journey, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
