I adored the chemistry between Lachlan and Lark, and absolutely ate up their slow burn romance. Being the second book in the series, I also loved that the characters from the first book were integrated into the entire storyline rather than just a quick cameo.
There was a good amount of murder, death, and crafting gore (iykyk), as expected. Last time, this author ruined cookies and cream ice cream, this time say goodbye to beer and pizza 🫣. Compared to the first book however, you will see significantly less spicy scenes, it was fairly dry until the third act (and the bonus chapter).
My only complaint is that the antagonist didn't feel connected to the story overall; they were introduced in the beginning, vaguely alluded to throughout, and really only made a physical appearance during the climax. It just didn't seem to blend in well, as if it was an afterthought to give the MCs an enemy.

I will say, Lachlan’s voice was a little much for me? But I eventually didn’t mind
The story was fun! I love Lark and her crafting. I’m not a huge marriage-of-convenience trope person, but I liked it!

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
* Banter 😂😂😂
* Serial deleter / contract killer
* And yep pizza ruined.
* slow burn > but when it comes to it 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Oh and no one f*cks with Keanu Reeves. That’s a rule. 🫠
