Uggh this read was amazing. Rowan had me ready to risk it all! 😩

This is a love story between two vigilante serial unalivers so, obviously, you're going to be dealing with pretty dark themes. Ensure to check the content warnings to make sure you're okay with what you're getting yourself into. The MCs have major issues and tragic pasts but this is honestly one of the cutest love stories I've ever read. Yes, there are triggers and it'll probably be a while before you can eat Cookies & Cream icecream again but it's so worth it to experience the beautiful chaos that is Butcher & Blackbird.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know you’re scared, but you deserve to be happy. So put some of that bravery to use for yourself for a change.

This was waaaay more smutty and a lot less murderous than I anticipated.  It’s actually quite insane that I wanted the serial killer aspect of this to be explored more. Nevertheless a quick read and Weaver delivered a solid dark romance; I enjoyed the crazy journey and succinct writing. 

Mind the TW’s bc the author brazenly holds no bars back, e.g. descriptive body gore,
the opening scene is Sloane (FMC) trapped in a small space with her latest murder victim who is literally three days into the decomposition process, and the maggots that burst from his stomach are compared to crawling ORZO PASTA.

I didn’t expect to love this book, but I did. It was a fast read for someone who usually takes weeks breaks between chapters of some books.

“You’ll love me some day” 

I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time. I did the audiobook and I loved both narrators! They both really brought this book to life. I would listen to Joe Arden read the white pages to me at this point. The main guy is Irish so he did an Irish accent 🔥🔥. Very much a slow burn, but when the spice hits, it hits 
🌶️🌶️🌶️. Our girl has like 5 piercings *down there*. 

Also, this will not deter me from cookies and cream ice cream. Not now, not ever.
