4.0

This book is EXPLICIT. Both in the murders and in the sex. I initially wasn’t sure how I felt about the book as I was getting a bit squicked out. (I can do gore. I can do sex. Both together was challenging.) However, I really enjoyed the characters of Rowan and Sloane and the voice actors performing the audiobook did a spectacular job. That said, it definitely was still an audiobook I turned down as I drove through town because I didn’t want to audio detectable outside of my car.

Notable Quote: “We’re not normal people. We are monsters. But if we’re monsters, we’ll thrive in the dark. Together.”

The Praise: Butcher & Blackbird was the perfect blend of dark, funny, and sweet. The characters were well developed and easy to root for. Rowan was so sweet and down sooooo bad for Sloane. This is my second Brynne Weaver book and I loved it just as much as I loved Marrow.

The Critique: I don’t love when epilogues don’t focus on the book’s main couple. I wanted more of Sloane and Rowan!

Final Thoughts: Hilarious, sweet, sexy, and dark. I can’t wait to read about Lachlan and Lark!
