This book is a dark romantic comedy about 2 serial killers meet-cute. He falls first-hard. He’s got such golden retriever energy. If you can definitely listen to the audiobook because the chemistry that Lucy Rivers and Joe Arden have is amazing.

Butcher and Blackbird- 3.75⭐️ 4🌶️

Contemporary romance

Dark romcom

Dark romance

Dual POV

He falls first

Slow burn

Open door spice

If you ignore the trigger warnings, that on you… cause they aren’t satire.

This was surprisingly a good read. I mean it was out there, with serial killing serial killers falling in love. But it followed the normal contemporary romance formulas. The flirty banter was good. The tongue in cheek silliness was really what made this story stand out. It’s a book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and I appreciate that.

I find it interesting how actual little we know about the pasts of the main characters. We got brief overviews, and the internal dialogue just lets us assume their histories or “SK origin stories” were bad, and moves on. I don’t know if that is enough for such defined characters or not. It was a little flippant, like an offhand remark, only it was both characters “why”. 

Other than that, this was a great funny, messed up, dark romcom. The similarities to the show “Dexter” is obvious.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Thank you NetGally anx Zando for an Advanced eReader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
