Synopsis

One minute I’m cleaning toilets for minimum wage.The next, I’m waking up from a drug-induced nap with a monster staring down at me.
Kidnapped and seconds from death, I think I’m done for…
Until masked men burst in, murder my attacker, and turn my world upside down.
They call themselves Murder Squad.A secret brotherhood of broken men who only kill the worst of the worst.
And one of them thinks I’m his wife.
X is unhinged, obsessed, and deadly. A psychopath who hides behind bad jokes and bloodstained fingers.
Whip’s older, grumpy, and used to women paying him to worship them. But when he finds out I’m a virgin, he can’t keep his hands off my plus-size curves.
And Levi? One year of handwritten letters was all it took to fall in love with a man I’d never met. My prison pen pal turned killer, fighting his darkness for a second chance.
But they aren’t the only psychopaths in Saint View.Someone’s playing a twisted game, leaving rhyming threats and promising to end us all if we don’t stop them first.
With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.Until there’s only one thing we know for sure.
There’s a killer out there.And this time, he’s hunting us.
X’s and O’s is a dark rom com. It’s an adult, why choose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. You can expect a plus size, tall heroine, psycho heroes, a murder mystery, and a spicy club. This book contains romantic suspense and triggering themes. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

Why does this have such high ratings?! I was so excited when I saw we would get a plus sized FMC. Man this let me down though. She was extremely unlikable and just unbelievable to be honest. Obsessing the entire time about her poor self esteem. Girl you have 3 hot men after you, I think at some poin......more

dislike main fc POSSIBLE SPOILERS . . For me personally I would have rated the book lower. But it’s well written and I’m assuming others would enjoy.

This was my first book by Elle, and I was hooked right away. I can’t believe she actually made me love psycho killers! Book one of the Murder Squad trilogy follows X, Whip, Levi, and Violet in a dark romcom that’s as funny as it is twisted. The banter is hilarious, and you can’t help but root for th......more
