Rating: *****
Review: When I got this arc from Booksprout I wasn’t expecting it to be a dark erotic thriller. If you have any reservations about this novel being dark just read the opening chapter and you will see just how dark it is, it actually made me think of one scene from American Psycho, but it was still hot. This novel is going to be following twin sister Salem and Ireland. It opens with Salem worried about her sister who has been missing for over a week and I feel that she could be the girl in the opening scene.
We are also introduced to two candidates for Ireland’s killer; Brayden and Luke. While Brayden is the man that Salem doesn’t know that well and Luke is the boy who was supposed to be in love with Ireland, but I wouldn’t put it past him to be the killer either. It seems the man who killed Ireland; his bunny now has his sights set on Salem but can’t claim her straight away he is going to play with her first. While he is twisted and dark in his own mind, he does want to make Salem happy and he even didn’t want to kill Ireland, but she had fulfilled her purpose.
As we approach the halfway mark in the novel, the man has been dubbed the bunny killer because of the masks he leaves on them. As Salem gets closer to Brayden and opens up more to Luke, I was doubting which one was the killer. While Luke ends up sleeping with Salem first, he has a major personality shift and becomes quite dominant like the killer but shows no real violence while Brayden remains a complete mystery to everyone, but Salem is extremely attracted to him.
As we cross into the second half of the novel, Salem is slowly falling in love with both Luke and Brayden and manages to have a relationship with both of them without either knowing. However, one does know, the one that is the killer and he resents the fact that another man is touching what is his, but it is impossible to tell who the man is, one minute I think it’s Brayden and then I’m positive it is Luke and back again. As the bodies of the bunny killer are mounting and his annoyance of not being able to claim is bunny mounts, I know that this novel is going to have an explosive climax (pun intended).
The ending of Bunny was amazing, despite the dark and sometimes horrifying themes I found myself really drawn into the mystery and suspense that the authors manage to craft around the love triangle. I have to add while the love triangle is one of my most hated romance tropes this is a love triangle done right and I loved it. If you read nothing else read Bunny.
