Waiting on Wednesday ... Love in the Time of Serial Killers

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson

Here is the Goodreads synopsis 

Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn’t exactly conducive to modern dating—and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she’s used to suspecting the worst.

PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She’s even analyzing the genre in her dissertation—if she can manage to finish writing it. It’s hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn’t had a relationship with for years.

 

It doesn’t help that she’s low-key convinced her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he’s clearly up to something). But it’s not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier—a genuinely nice guy who can pierce through her armor to her vulnerable heart underneath.

This book mixes a romance with true crime and I am extremely here for it. It sounds like a lot of fun and definitely like a book that was written specifically for me. 

Based on this synopsis I am going to love how the elements of this story are blended together and I cannot wait to read this in the summer. 

Expected release date - August 16, 2022
