THE GRIMM GAMES
Serial Killers are hiding in plain sight. They could even be someone you know!
The story starts off with nineteen year old Delilah Emery who is one of the worlds most renowned serial killers. Her prime victims are always men that she has fallen in love with, and she always ends up cutting them open and taking their hearts as a memento. Because of her unique style of killing, the police have dubbed her "The Loveless Killer".
Everything changes for her though when she falls in love with her colleges most famous bachelor, Amos Kade, when she spots him playing during a soccer game. At first, he seems like a regular guy with a heart made out of gold, but he too has a dark secret. Despite his charming personality, it's all a lie. He is actually a sociopath that has zero emotions, and is a serial killer just like her.
Although, he has no reason for why he murders people. He does it simply because he doesn't see a reason why he shouldn't.
The two confront each other and before they can have a battle to the death, they are transported to a world that is not their own where they meet the one and only Grim Reaper, who has summoned them as well as eleven other serial killers to his domain.
He tells them that they have been summoned to partake in his competition called The Grimm Games, so that he can choose a successor to take his place. It's a kill or be killed situation where only the last person standing can inherit the title of The Grim Reaper as well as all of his powers.
The two of them are then sent back, now adorning a new Scythe tattoo that marks them as players in the game, as well as bestowing upon them magical weapons that they can use to fight against each other.
Delilah makes it clear that she has no intention of killing Amos because she believes that they were meant to be soulmates, and Amos, being the manipulative person he is, takes her up on her offer and the two plan to work together to survive till the end until the moment where they are the last survivors and have no choice but to fight one another. But until then, they must look out for each other when the other killers come to strike.
Amos agrees to be Delilah's lover although he reminds he that his feelings are fake, but she doesn't care as long as he makes her feel loved. Will Amos stay cold and distant, or for once in his life will he finally experience true emotion and open up his heart to the woman who wants to take it from him?
