Reviews with content warning for Gore - Leather & Lark

**audiobook review**

Lark thrives with glitters in the lifestyle of a musician and serial-deleter.
Lachlan… ah my perfect Irish broody grumpy Lachlan. Yep. Nothing more. Eric Nolan amazingly embodied this Irish grumpy ass who is as hot as smitten.
But the real queen is Ethel. End of.
Nevertheless, Lark and Lachlan’s story can fully be appreciated if you have previously read Blackbird & Butcher. The stories are intertwined.

Hilarious, heartbreaking, plots, everything in this story is perfectly balanced. Brynne is talented like that.
The duet narration is one of the best I’ve heard so far. Everything is smooth with all the emotions and tensions. And the growl… damn.

* Catastrophe Barbie and Budget Batman
* He falls first and HARD
* Attracted strangers to Enemies to Lovers
* Marriage of deadly convenience

I gotta say, I like and enjoyed this book so much more than Butcher & Blackbird. I think slow burn works well for the couple and the overall theme. It could do without all the "this is a serial killer romance" trope, as it taking a back seat made this love story more fulfilling than it did in the former book. There were parts that confused me, like

maybe it was because I was listening to it in audiobook form so I missed it, but this whole time I thought her onstage instrument is a guitar only to get confused when it says she's using a bow, then later find out it's a cello... for a band?? And I am sure it would have been so obvious to everyone what was going on, cause isn't she also singing too?

and

the whole explanation of who her father and step-father are and their relationship to her mother was also confusing.

I like the fact that there are more dimensions to both character, and yes, of course they have the physical attraction, which we get in like chapter 2, but the story goes into more depth on their feelings and building their relationship rather than just wanting to fuck the other person. I also like that despite being killers,

they're both squeamish about extracting eyeballs xD
