Butcher & Blackbird — 3 ⭐️

𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 & 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: Lesson learned… I am not a dark romance girlie. I did enjoy the story aspect of the book - AKA serial un-alivers falling in love and their backgrounds. It reminded me so much of Mr. & Mrs. Smith!

Like the other dark romance books I’ve read, the gore and spice just wasn’t it for me. I’ll stick with my light-hearted romances and thrillers, thank youuu.

𝐓𝐖: omg, please please please read the insane list of trigger warnings before diving in. It’s partially hilarious but very concerning at the same time. 😅

I’m personally not a fan of detailed gore and this one had a lot.

I was surprised with how much I liked this book! This was my first dark romance and the trigger warnings scared me more than they should have because there were a lot of graphic scenes, but definitely not as bad as I thought they would be.

The banter between Rowan and Sloan was so good and I loved how it was written from both their perspectives so the build-up felt more fulfilling because you could see how both of them felt the same way but kept holding back.

Such a fun book and definitely recommend to anyone who isn't afraid of some graphic violence and sex!! I'm excited to dive into the second book soon but I need a bit of a breather after the last 100 pages of this one 😮‍💨
