“Sometimes monsters are just broken people, hiding their scars from a world that has hurt them.”

Dove Carroway has two lives....

By day, she’s the bubbly, pink-clad media journalist who writes sensational stories about a vigilante serial killer. By night, she becomes the Baby Doll Killer, an avenger with a flair for punishing the worst of humanity—men who prey on children. But her most formidable challenge isn’t a criminal; it’s her insufferably charming work rival.

Wrenley Campbell is the perfect gentleman to everyone but Dove, the one person who grates on his nerves with her sunshine act. But Wrenley’s secrets are darker than the articles they write, and when Dove unburies the truths he’s hiding, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.

When their battle of wits escalates into something that hits too close to home, Dove steps into his world as her deadly alter ego, intending to terrify him into backing off. As Wrenley pieces together who she really is, their rivalry turns into a fiery connection that neither can deny.

Secrets this dark have a way of coming to light, and soon, they will have to decide whether their love is strong enough to survive the shadows or shatter under the weight of their haunted pasts.

Perfect for fans of dark humor, sizzling tension, and morally gray characters, Dolls & Daggers is a wickedly dark romantic comedy that’ll have you laughing, gasping, and swooning in equal measure.

I loved this audio, a powerful FMC that isn’t afraid to seek justice not only for herself but for many young girls. Until our MMC comes into the picture and try’s to take her job…. But little does he know our little dove is not all sunshine and rainbows
Highly recommend

FMC you will love

Dolls & Daggers by D.L. Darby is a dark romantic comedy that I listened to on audio narrated by Lucy Rivers and Aaron Shedlock. This is the first book in the Serial Killer Book Club series.

This is the first book of D.L.'s that I have read and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship between Wrenly and Dove. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life and let you really get into both of their heads.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Sirens & Stilettos to be released on February 17, 2026, so I can get Bunny and Hunter's story.

Aaron and Lucy did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a dark romantic comedy, rivals to lover's romance, workplace romance, or serial killer romance.

I have read very few books where the FMC is a serial killer, so this one had me drawn in at that! Wren and Dove have such funny banter towards each other. Although they started as rivals, I love the way their relationship evolves into something more. At the beginning, Dove rubbed me wrong. She seemed self-centered, as if she thought she was invincible. However, halfway through, I began to see a more vulnerable side. Wren is one of those characters who refuses to acknowledge his past trauma, which then causes issues in his present. When these two’s relationship starts to develop into something more, we get to see them grow and heal together.

Lucy Rivers and Aaron Shedlock voiced these characters so well! I felt like they had great chemistry together. They both brought the characters within Dolls & Daggers to life in the best ways!

Love a good female serial killer story!

"We listen and we don't Judge"


She's a ser*al k*ller ... he's her work rival ...


This book was such a fun read!


I saw ser*al k*ller and revenge with dark humor and knew this was a book I was going to love! 😅


This story is hilarious and the narrators were brilliant! They really brought out the characters uniqueness and personalities in their performances 😍


The tension between Dove and Wren is hilarious and just perfect! They hate each other as work Rivals but the little things they do made me chuckle so much!


I am not going to go into anymore detail than that as I really don't want to spoil anything!


I loved these characters and the storyline and I can not for book 2!

Hilarious really made me chuckle

I’ll admit it — I absolutely judged this book by the cover. The bubblegum pink + “dark rom-com” combo sold me instantly, and I’m happy to report it delivered exactly what it promised.

The duet narration brought the story to life in the best way. I had multiple laugh-out-loud moments while listening out in public and definitely earned a few confused looks. The humor landed, the pacing was great, and the darker elements were perfectly balanced with the rom-com tone.

And honestly? I’d join their book club in a heartbeat. The murdery bits wouldn’t even give me pause.

A fun, sharp, and entertaining listen — highly recommended if you like your rom-coms with a dark twist.

I went in Blind, but I am soo glad I did!
