This was... interesting. If you enjoyed [b:Butcher & Blackbird|196864520|Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, #1)|Brynne Weaver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1692083376l/196864520._SY75_.jpg|148641851], I don't see any reason why you wouldn't enjoy this book. I didn't have a lot of thoughts on this book... but I had some. I definitely found it entertaining. I wasn't at all mad I read the story, and I so appreciated the tie-ins and plot of this book. Also... I FUCKING LOVED Aunt Vivian... she stole the show and I was not expecting her story to go the way it went. I'd love a prequel of her!

There was a lot of comedy in this book. The characters were lovable, and there was so much cuteness I could have cuddled a kitten. There was a plot twist I didn't see coming, and this made me interested in Rose and Fionn's story.

Sooo why the low rating? I feel it's here I need to remind folks that this goes by personal preference. Things I do not like in a book are miscommunication, lying by omission, or protection by omission. Lark and Lochlain's story was full of both, and BLAAAAH. This was also a slow-ish burn, and I didn't feel like their scenes made up for it, for what I like to read. In B&B, while there weren't a lot of scenes, their first fucking scene—when she was in the tub... and the resulting actions... yeah... chef's kiss beautifully written. I low-key felt gypped with these two. I felt like Lochlain just went soft on me. I dunno. I think it was missing... something.

Was tis Dark, nah. Are they serial killers, Meh. If you liked Butcher & Blackbird, you should give this book a whirl. While it wasn't my favorite, I'm not mad I read it. However, if there wasn't a connecting plot (I'm not sure if there is or isn't), I probably could have skipped it. But hey, to each their own!

Oh yea... I'm still eating pizza and beer together, meh - I might even grab a milkshake for dessert....

Who knew Lachlan could be so babygirlll!!

I loved seeing Lark and Lachlan's relationship develop! Definitely less action and gore than in the first but I did enjoy the moments we got in this one!!
