The first was better imo. This one really focused on how one of them really fucked up when they first met. I get that he messed up, but they milked it for a really long time. Made the book kind of stale for me. I also didn’t like the audio for this one as much as the first. It was still a fire audiobook but not as good as the first book. 

Lark and Lachlan are not friends, not even lovers. But they get married to save the Kane brothers from being killed by Lark’s family. Larks family business has been targeted by a serial killer but they cannot figure out who or why. They are suspicious of the Cane brothers and have ideas to kill them until Lark marries into their family. Now, Lark and Lachlan need to find the serial killer targeting Larks family. 

I wasn’t really interested in the serial killer subplot as much as the x-rated smut. Can’t wait until the next book is released.

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
