I recommend as enjoyable! The heroine is a telepathically untrained librarian who accidentally bonds to the mind of a serial killer. She tries to get him caught, misses, and as no good deed goes unpunished, SHE goes to jail for the murder. Her bad-luck streak has a brief pause when she gets assigned to her new cell mate, a murderer from the military who’s become a human guinea pig, well, specifically a human-animal hybrid experiment. The animal part’s not a guinea pig, which incidentally are just adorable. As is her cell mate in a possessively protective way which terrifies everyone around them. Her naivety terrifies him in turn, but he works to teach her telepathy skills so she can have a chance at survival. He manages to keep it together for the most part until she gets insistent with how badly she wants him. He’s already obsessed, and her pushing releases the one thing he can’t protect her from…himself.

She was mesmerized both by what she saw and by what he told her, and all she could come up with as a response was an inane, “I smell?”
Tristan’s mouth twitched with a small smile. He sent her a brief impression, a dizzying feeling, like getting drunk off fumes. It was disorienting, but at the same time, she knew exactly where to find the source—and she wanted to find it so badly that it hurt to keep still.
