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!

• Eyeballs and eye sockets
• Amateur surgery 
• Skin ornaments 
• Chainsaws, axes, knives, scalpels—a lot of sharp objects 
• Accidental cannibalism 
• Not-so-accidental cannibalism 
• Questionable use of a mummified corpse 

Two serial killers have a meet cute and agree to have a hunting match every year after that. If that doesn’t sound interesting or like fun then steer clear.

This was so fun. Rowan was the right amount of unhinged to work and Sloane was just as attracted to red flags as me to be drawn in by it. 

If you like dark but lighthearted reads definitely pick this up BUT please read the full list of trigger warnings first because that will definitely give you a good idea of if this will be for you or not.

This book definitely knows what it is and doesn’t shy away from itself. The author hits you right away with some pretty gruesome imagery, which I think sets the tone correctly for the rest of the book. Definitely not a book for the squeamish or faint of heart. Readers should definitely read the content warnings if they’re unsure.

That being said, the attraction between the two characters is instant and the romance builds at a good clip.

I also read this in audiobook format, which was excellently produced! I think the performance of both narrators was enhanced by recording the dialogues in the same room. 

Read if you like gruesome scenes, body horror, and spice.

It’s amazing written with fantastic characters. The sex was WAY too much for me. I’m just not that kinky I guess.
