And the Christmas ARCs have started!!! Here's K.A. Merikan's "Ho Ho Homicidal Maniac." It's the a second in first novel in their Murder and Mistletoe series.
["“I love Christmas. So every year, I kill someone. As a treat."
Nico
Have you ever fallen in love with a man as he was pointing his gun at you? Well, I have. Tiny problem? I’m in the middle of my murderous Christmas tradition, and he’s a witness.
But it’s not his fault I got too excited and didn’t check if I was alone. I can’t just kill him because of my own blunder. Not when he has such dreamy green eyes filled with fear and pent-up rage.
What I can do is take him with me for safekeeping while I work out how to make him understand that while my methods are cruel, my intentions are pure.
Or how to make him fall for me.
Whichever is first.
Blake
My eighteenth birthday was supposed to be the happiest day of my sheltered life. Finally, I would gain independence and inherit half my family fortune. Instead, I ended up kidnapped.
I was about to get carved into pieces when… a Christmas miracle in the form of a beefy homicidal maniac saved me.
Only now I’m trapped in his basement and getting love bombed by a psycho golden retriever. He eats turkey sandwiches for every breakfast, enjoys making festive ornaments out of human teeth, and lets his violent urges shine like a Christmas tree.
I shouldn’t find him hot.
I shouldn’t want to indulge his murderous tendencies.
And I definitely shouldn’t want him to be my first.
But I’m being hunted and might just need a monster to keep me safe.
(And he does actually make really good fruitcake)"]
A black-cat rich boy with a target on his back and a true crime podcast meets a murder golden-retriever vigilante with a hyper fixation on Christmas (and the rich boy). Why not? There has been worse meet-cutes. ;)
You'd think someone who hates Christmas as much as Blake would have at least tried to resist Nico a liiiiiiitle more than he had. Yes, he tried to resist him, because Nico's a serial killer, but the Christmas thing was the real hang up. ...It was the forearms (it's alllllways the forearms).
Nico wasn't as protective and touch-him-and-die as our previous obsessive and awkward murder-boyfriend was, but you get in between him and his future husband, and you're suddenly on Saint Nick's naughty list. And there swoons Blake (with a grumpy pout hiding his smile).
Trigger Warnings: kidnapping, violence, gore, attempted assault (no between MCs), drugging, and more.
