i don’t usually add content warnings to my reviews but i felt like i had to with this book.. 

but it was funny at times? and kind of cringe, but wholesome. 

i am aware that butcher and blackbird choose to kill ’bad’ people, often serial killers.. but don’t they realise that they are just as bad? 
they seem to think that killing a ’bad’ person is them doing a favor to the world. well they need help

Im shocked. I actually really enjoyed this book. Note: Do NOT start the book while eating! I have a strong stomach and the beginning of the book threw me off. 

This book was gory, witty and SMUTY. Whoa man, the smut was scorching hot. It was a nice change to the usual books that I read/ listen to. 

It had lots of shock value that I enjoyed. The banter was fantastic; it was hilarious for me.

This book scratched the Dexter itch I’ve had since I finished the show! 

I did a tandem read between physical and audio, and it was a grand time. I was living for Sloane and Rowan’s banter. While I love Lucy River’s bright voice and narration style (she gives me slight valley girl vibes), I just don’t think it was the best match for Sloane. I imagined her to be more sultry, gritty yet velvet smooth…more like Megara in the Hercules Disney movie.  However that didn’t hinder me from enjoying the story. Joe Arden was perfection (as usual)…his take on a light Irish accent was hot.

The premise was a thrill ride and I was hooked into the plot! Now I love a good smut scene here and there, but once it hit the 70% mark and we were thrown very detailed smut scenes left and right, I just wanted to get back to the story. Kinda pulled me out a bit, but I loved how it wrapped up.

Can’t wait to get my grubby hands on book 2 in June!

My gaze meets the shadows as Sloane emerges from their grip. The breath I take feels the same as it does after you dive too deep, unsure if you’ll reach the surface in time.


Sweet baby Jesus, this book was such a ride. Rowan and Sloane, Butcher and Blackbird...gosh what can I even say??? 

Sloane and Rowan are 2 serial killers that kill serial killers. They are also 2 badass motherfuckers who are lacking a certain kind of connection that others around them seem to have. After a crazy first meeting - complete with a corpse and maggots - the 2 find themselves drawn to each other. They create an annual game where whoever identifies and takes out a target first wins. Somehow the sweetest love story unfolds in all of that craziness!

🐦‍⬛ Friends to lovers
🐦‍⬛ Forced proximity 
🐦‍⬛ He falls first
🐦‍⬛ Touch her and die
🐦‍⬛ Touch him and die 
🐦‍⬛ Hurt/comfort 

The banter and the humor in this story is TOP NOTCH. I seriously laughed out loud so many times. The writing is excellent and the spice...woooo she spicy. 

📢 Def give this a go after you read the cw of course!
