from goodreads:
Every serial killer needs a friend.
Every game must have a winner.
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, the two find something elusive—the friendship of a like-minded, pitch-black soul. From small town West Virginia to upscale California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country. But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love. Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves? Or have they finally met their match?
Butcher & Blackbird is the first book in the Ruinous Love Dark Romance trilogy of interconnected stand-alone dark romantic comedies. This dual POV novel ends on a HEA
my review:
i wanna start off by saying PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK. butcher & blackbird was definitely good. i really loved the characters. sloane & rowan were great together. although i really liked rowan, i hated his name because it reminded me of rowan kane from the dreamland billionaires series. but he was still amazing. definitely a dominant alpha male but had a super soft spot for those around him. sloane was just badass all around. you couldn’t tell her anything, she put her mind to something and finished the task. she was very strong willed. she really fought for the things she loved. i don’t wanna spoil much about this book but it was a really cute story and definitely very spicy. the whole love story played out in such a crazy gory way. i loved the support characters in this book, i love that everyone accepted everyone for who they were and still loved each other till the end. the kane brothers were literally ride or die for each other and lark was a great best friend. the book was definitely entertaining and had me giggling or gagging the whole way through. the ending is what has me hooked and ready for the next book to come out because i’m dying to know about lachlan and lark!!!
