Horrible editing. You're is used instead of your constantly. Just a lot of little mistakes that add up.
The story itself is interesting. I was intrigued and invested from the start. It was different and refreshing to read something that isn't like the rest of the stories in this genre. Though I wouldn't call this erotica as there isn't much of that in the book.
It ends in a cliffy but I'm not sure that I'll continue the series or not.

I was wanting something more of a mystery, and the mommas boy serial killer angle was strange to me

Cupid was a good read. A really really good read. I flew through it in no time. And I'm still a little reeling from the way it ended. My god, it was intense and I can't wait to find out what's going to happen next.
This story features the beautiful and intelligent Diana Carson. After the murders of her cheating husband and other rich men, Diana starts to investigate the homicides. With help from the seductive millionaire Asher Bishop she hopes to find the killer she nicknamed Cupid. But she soon finds out there's more to Asher than meets the eye.
The story really walked the fine line of disturbing and alluring. Sometimes it was even quite creepy. Even now I can't quite decide if I'm so fascinated by Asher because he was so ominous or because he was so enticing. It was probably a bit of both. There were a lot of times where I was thinking how crazy Asher seemed but then the next moment I'd be swooning for him.
I haven't entirely made up my mind about Diana. I mean, I like her. She's very smart, witty and pretty great to read about but I couldn't quite get a grasp on her yet. I hope to find out more about her in the next part.
Jade Eby and Kenya Wright are both new authors to me but I have to say I was really impressed by this book. The writing was amazing and really drew me in. Especially the "Cupid" points of view were interesting to read for me.
So would I recommend this book? Hell to the yes! It's a pretty dark story and I'm not sure if Cupid can be a redeemablecharacter but I'll absolutely keep following this story. The next book is so very much needed!

OMG!!! Cupid was so addictive that I just couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. The plot, characters and story line were so perfect that I never wanted it to end. Yet it always does and now I'll be forever waiting for the next for.
I can't believe I have never read anything by either of these authors before. I will be before checking my out now.
Right from the very start Cupid had me captivated. I was curious as to how the book got it's name. It's not every day you read a 'dark' romance named after something so happy. Yet when it is explained in the book it makes so much sense.
I love during the story that we got to see how both Cupid and Diana were thinking during certain situation. Their thought processes really had to the story for me and provided some humour along the way. It's nice to see how a character act and thinks in though situations.
I just couldn't get enough the this book. Please hurry along with the next one.
Cupid many not be as 'dark' as some of the other dark books that I have read but it still deals with some disturbing themes. You have been warned.
