The Vibe

Two serial killers who only target other serial killers meet at a kill site. Instead of competing, they start a cross-country game: who can take out the most bad guys. What starts as rivalry becomes the most unhinged love story BookTok has ever obsessed over. Dark, hilarious, and unexpectedly tender.
