Well written gory horror smut. However I couldn't get past the poor medical treatment of a dislocated shoulder. Don't know what that says about me but I really kept wondering if that shoulder was okay.

First of all, why did I have to wait over 200 pages for spice? Unacceptable in a dark romance, in my humble opinion. Secondly, there are only a handful of spicy scenes and the majority of those are only moderately spicy. This book was interesting and so weird. I’m annoyed at everyone who freaked the fuck out about the ice cream scene. It was definitely less disgusting than some elements that came to light prior to the ice cream. Still gross but not worth the hype if I say so myself. The book is pretty decent but I wouldn’t categorize it as dark romance cause there’s not enough spice. All in all, a quick and engaging book that’s easy to get through in a few hours.

Honestly, I ate this book up. It’s seriously one of the best books that I’ve read in a while.  

I simply enjoyed it a lot, I loved the connection between the characters and I thought the plot was interesting. 

This was the first dark romance book I’ve ever read, it only took me a few hours to finish since I just couldn’t put it down. 

I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more Brynne Weaver books and hopefully I can see Butcher and Blackbird sometime in the future!
