It can easily read as a pale comparison due to its similar premise of ‘use captured serial killer to help capture the current one’.Īlthough not as well-written as its predecessor, Heartsick does change a few key elements. The problem here is stepping too close to its original model The Silence of the Lambs. Heartsick is a gruesome read that reaches dizzying heights and equally brutal lows with its well-versed characters and likeable serial killer. It quickly becomes apparent that Archie is still heavily dependent on the ‘beauty killer’ Gretchen. A simple catch-the-serial-killer plot, in theory at least. Teaming with hungry news reporter Susan Ward, they must find the killer before he does too much damage. Two years on, he’s asked back into the force to help investigate a spate of copycat killings of teenage girls in the area.

Even though whump is the focus here there is going to be a lot of sexual content. I don't have a "plan," I'm just going to look at the prompts each day and see what they spark! A couple things to know - This is a VERY SEXUAL PAIRING. These will mostly be standalone drabbles/scenes, but some of them will probably end up connecting with each other.

But it can't all be glitz and galas - Gretchen still needs to get her murder fix, and sooner or later, someone's going to put two and two together and start wondering if the newly imported heiress and her husband are more than they seem.
