bookzzia 's review for:
Love & Other Killers
by Brynne Weaver
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for allowing me to receive an e-ARC of this book before release!
Brynne Weaver is a very popular author. I've heard her name everywhere, but I’ve always been a little too nervous to try her work. When I saw this short story, I thought, Okay, this is my chance. Then I read the trigger warnings (which usually stop me in my tracks), but today I decided to push through.
Maybe I should’ve done a bit more research first, because I quickly realized this short story ties into the Ruinous Love trilogy. That said, I still enjoyed it!
As someone who hasn’t read the trilogy, I think this works well as a “test the waters” story—especially if you’re curious about Brynne Weaver’s writing style or the types of relationships she explores. I was able to follow along for the most part, and I actually liked the dynamic between the characters. It’s definitely made me consider picking up the main novels.
Fair warning, though—if you haven’t read the trilogy, you will likely be a bit confused. I know I was, especially when a certain character showed up who I’m pretty sure plays a major role in one of the trilogy books (but someone correct me if I’m wrong!).
Thank you again, NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories, for the early copy! I’m glad I gave it a shot.
