Reviews with content warning for Death - Butcher & Blackbird

Literally one of my most favorite reads of this year! Easily a 5 ☆ book! It has everything: slow burn, comedy, dark romance, touch her and you'll die and so much more! I was already laughing when I heard the content and trigger warnings, and you know it's gonna be a good one when the warning page makes you laugh.

I found myself giggling and laughing the whole time, while also falling in love with Rowan and Sloane and feeling all their feelings once things started to click into place. They're romance was one of the best slow burns I've ever read, and once they finally hooked up, I was kicking my feet like a little kid 😂

They're some crazy serial killers, so of course there's going to be some crazy serial killer scenes, but you'll know within the 1st few pages if this book is too much for you.

Also, if you have the chance, get the audio book. It's 💯 worth it. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers bring Rowan, Sloane, and the whole crazy serial killer story to life that's just *chefs kiss*.

I definitely judged a book on the title. Didn’t want to read it because the title sucks and just doesn’t flow in my opinion. HOWEVER! I absolutely adored this book! It has all the great tropes:
-slow burn (literally 4 years)
-grumpy fmc/sunshine mmc
-he falls first
-spice that moves the storyline
-murder
I’m so excited for Leather & Lark!

A chance encounter between two serial killers leads to an annual competition that pits them against some of the country's most dangerous monsters. As they hunt, they develop a friendship that leads to deeper feeling than either of them thought possible.

If you enjoyed Dexter, you will probably enjoy this book.

How Weaver made a book about serial killers funny, is beyond me! But the banter and comedy in this story were top notch. There were so many laugh out loud moments. I found that there was a really good balance between the romance and suspense.

I liked how this was a slower burn. They meet
