but it was funny at times? and kind of cringe, but wholesome.
i am aware that butcher and blackbird choose to kill ’bad’ people, often serial killers.. but don’t they realise that they are just as bad?
they seem to think that killing a ’bad’ person is them doing a favor to the world. well they need help

Towards the end, the narrative shifted heavily towards explicit content, which felt more like a vehicle for smut and shock than a deep exploration of the characters. The backstory for the killers felt rushed, leaving me wanting more insight into what made them tick.
The book also relied heavily on well-worn tropes, like "lovers to enemies" and "friends to lovers," which made it feel a bit formulaic. It seemed tailor-made for a TikTok audience, with its quick-paced, trope-heavy storytelling.
Despite these issues, the book was a fast, enjoyable read. The banter between characters was entertaining, and the occasional bursts of gore and absurdity kept me hooked. While it didn't reach the depth I hoped for, it served its purpose as a fun, mindless escape.
