I didn’t want to like this book, but the audio narration was impeccable. Loved the banter and background noises to make it more realistic. Some of it was hard to listen to (especially when I was trying to eat) but it definitely sucked me in.

Not once in my entire 29 years of life have I ever thought [insert the heaviest sigh ever] “I wish a man would stalk me, pay a kid to deliver groceries to my doorstep, and then call me to walk me through how to make a meal with those groceries while he sits right outside my house.” But I guess it’s not too late to add that to my list of cute date ideas. 

I absolutely loved everything about this read. I laughed, I cringed, I had to stop eating a hard boiled egg whilst reading about eyes being plucked from their sockets. 10/10, all the gold stars, I can’t wait to see what book 2 & 3 bring!

Wow this went downhill so fast. I can't believe this has sat on my tbr for this long just for me to give up after 3 chapters.

I can see why it’s popular, but very fast paced and the leads are obviously attractive and fall deeply for each other. Cute, but no actual development on the romance aside from pining and then straight to sex after the big climax.

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.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
