The quiet type by summer Prescott.
Tim and Susannah have ordinary lives on the surface, he’s a mortician for whom death is a serious business, and she’s a chef who really knows her way around a knife, but if the neighbors in their small Midwestern town knew of her dark hobby, they’d run for the hills.Raised by an apathetic mother and a cruel father, Susannah was bullied and pushed to her breaking point long before she met mild-mannered Tim, and has learned to channel her murderous impulses into a strange form of art, which keeps her clueless husband safe…for now.As strange events occur, and Susannah’s eccentric behavior becomes more dynamic, Tim starts to wonder about his wife. Will he be too perceptive for his own good?
This was a fantastic read with brilliant characters. I was gripped and wanted to know what suzzanah would do next. Couldn't put it down. I didn't expect that. 5*. Netgalley and bookbuzz.net.

This is a book that you want to put down ! The writer holds your attention from the very beginning that leaves you creeped out but having to know what happens next.
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would.
I am probably going to have a few nightmares, but enjoyed the storyline.

Still waters run deep, and none deeper than Susannah. Summer Prescott twists together two most unusual characters, and follows their life together as one tries to make his way in the world as an extreme introvert fascinated with the dead, and the other descends into the madness of a serial killer. How convenient for Susannah that her husband easily fits the stereotype of a sadistic murderer as she tears through a small town trying to sate her need for blood. With unlikely and fragile allies forged along the way, Tim must not fall victim to either the alleged crimes or his own deranged wife, as he tries desperately to preserve his need for solitude.

And just when you think it's over, Prescott delivers the twist that leaves you hoping for a sequel.

After all, it's always the quiet ones...

This quirky novel, full of macabre humor and grisly details, is laugh-out-loud funny. It's a fun romp through a bizarre yet strangely familiar world. It's difficult to describe. Terrible things are said and done, but I found myself laughing out loud at them. Even though it's full of blood and gore, it's oddly lighthearted. I caught myself smiling a lot reading this.

Susannah Guntzelman is a very strange girl. Her father hates her and torments her cruelly. He is sadistic and controlling. She can't wait to leave home. She dislikes people and just wants to be left alone to get through high school. In spite of wishing to be invisible, she reacts vigorously, meting out revenge, when she feels she's been wronged.

She meets an equally introverted and unusual person, Timothy Eckels, when they are assigned to be lab partners. They are surprised and pleased to find they both enjoy cutting up cadavers and animals. She is surprised to find someone she can tolerate, even relate to, and eventually they marry.
He becomes a mortician, and she becomes a chef. Both of them continue with their enjoyment of knives and cutting flesh in these professions. However, she develops an additional secret "heinous hobby" that shocks and frightens him when he discovers it.
Each of the characters is well defined and delightful, even the villainous ones. The plot moves along at just the right pace, and the authors tongue-in-cheek humor permeates everything. A remarkably cheerful bloodfest. You won't be disappointed.
Highly recommended.

Note: I received an eARC from the publisher in efforts an honest review.

An excellent easy read that I couldn't put down. Was pleasantly surprised by the content. Just what I was looking for.

I really enjoyed this book, when I wasn't feeling totally grossed out! I honestly thought Tim was going to freak me out more than Susannah, but I actually liked Tim alot. This story ramps up the suspense and intensity with each chapter and I like the way the story ended. Book 2? I highly recommend this captivating thriller!
