**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 
* 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. 🫠

I always have a good time with Brynne Weaver book! The banter was great and I enjoyed the story I just got stuck on how Lark could be a “multiple deleter” and Sloane not knowing or it be mentioned in the first book. I understand why she is, it just almost felt forced for this book. I wish it focused more on the mystery of who was attacking her family but I still had fun and will absolutely continue the series

This book dives straight into it with a murder so I thought that one would be pretty gory… instead I was pulled deep into an enemies to lovers story that I just loved!!

Lachlan was 🔥 and Lark and absolute babe and their story was so sweet! I didn’t love Butcher and Blackbird but somehow this one felt more realistic. Especially there reactions to dealing with an eyeball compared to Sloane. I wish there was more Sloane and Lark chat but I understand why there wasn’t with the honeymoon and that Lark can’t be her real self…

Despite this being a murder story, the murders aren't so graphic I struggled, they’re nice and light. There was not nearly as much sex as Butcher and Blackbird too and whilst to an extent it was nice, there was hardly any sex. They were proper enemies, I get why… but I still wanted it earlier on in the book but then tension building through the enemies story line made me not want to our this book down!

I preferred Leather and Lark over Butcher and Blackbird personally. Much better storyline but a lot more chill in terms of murder and sex. Although the sex in this one is more kinky. A 4 out of 5 rating for me.

Genuinely one of the best romances I've read in a while. Not as dark as B&B, but still dark so check trigger warnings. Serial killer x contract killer. Lachlan Kane is a cinnamon roll with hardened edges to survive and I love him.

The way Brynne Weaver gets into serial killers' heads -not just the main characters who do what they do for a reason, but the actual psychopaths that are also in the story - it's very impressive and incredible how realistic it is.

Tropes: arranged marriage, hate to love, nicknames, banter! he falls first
