Was it fun? Yes. Was it super graphic? Yes. Did it (like it warned it would) ruin some of my favorite foods? Also, yes. Will I be reading any of the other books in the series? Maybe. But I think one might be enough for me.

Head the trigger warnings! 

Is this best book you’ll ever read? Probably not.  Is it book that takes heavy and often gross situations, and brings dark humor? Yes! It’s a quick read and decently paced. It’s fun and a little dark and macabre.  I had fun with it.

4.0

I'm sort of shocked at how much I enjoyed this. I loved the gore. I thought the romance was well developed, and the highs and lows in the relationship made sense. The pacing took a minute to get use to, but overall it was used well for the storytelling. I enjoyed the alternating POVs but sometimes I found Sloane to be a bit one dimensional. The writing was solid and the ending was well executed. Honestly, this was fun to read and I look forward to checking out the rest of the series.

Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver is an absolutely captivating read that hooks you from the very first page. With masterful plot twists and brilliant character development, it delivers a thrilling and page-turning experience that won’t disappoint. 

I found myself completely invested in characters’ journeys right away. Weaver crafts a story full of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected turns that kept me on my toes until the very end.

This book is an absolute gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Several trigger warnings so proceed with caution! 

🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a lot of spice but very graphic spice)
