I really enjoyed this it was a bit different from my usual reads in the sense it was darker. I really enjoyed the banter in this one but would definitely suggest you read the trigger warnings for this one.

First things first, the audiobook was amazing! The narrators had such amazing chemistry together, and it was unlike other M/F books with duo perspectives because I feel like they interacted with each other in their prospective chapters. I feel like I could hear them interact together, and it made the development of their relationship all the more real to the audience!

The book itself was so much fun! A bit gory at times for sure, but like what do you expect, they are serial killers' serial killers! Their love story was really sweet, and I loved that Sloane was able to overcome her fears of being unlovable, and that they both were able to find someone who shares their interest, despite being a bit niche. I love MC's who have shared hobbies!!!

The spicy scenes were definitely on the rougher side from what I typically read, but tbh I didn't mind ;)
Overall, an easy read and I enjoyed it a lot!!

2.0/5 overall, 3.5/5 spice.
This book has a lot of messed up things going on in the storyline so if you are squeemish, check content warnings first as there is a lot of graphic violence that is a bit out there/not ok stuff. I'll remember this book because of that lol.

Unfortunately there were a few storyline pieces that never same together for me; it was missing some key descriptors and there were components of the story that just felt thrown in/not integrated well. The smut was good but their relationship needed a bit more depth. I felt like the story could have been overall just better done.

Don't get me wrong, there were definitely points of enjoyment and it did kind of keep me guessing how the book was going to end with regard to their shared "hobby"... its weird that it was messed up but interesting? This one is fairly spicy spice.. so if you're not into that, its not for you.

This is the first of a 3 book series I believe -- tbd whether I go back for more.

This was gross, I almost bailed at the maggots 🤢🤮 but I'm so glad I read it. I ended up getting so into this I read it in one afternoon! While it was gross and disturbing but it was also sweet(I know I'm just as confused!). Butcher & Blackbird had an awesome dynamic and were so sweet to each other while doing absolutely horrific shit. I'm glad I got it on sale because if I would have waited for the libby hold, I probably would've chickened out at the maggots(I really don't like bugs) or the content warnings. I'm excited to continue with the series and read more by this author!
