“We exchange a silent conversation with no more than a glance, and I know Lark understands that she can say whatever she wants. Whatever she feels. She can be whoever she wants to be. I will take her in any version of herself she’s willing to give.”
Leather and Lark is the second book in The Ruinous Love Trilogy, the follow-up to Butcher and Blackbird (which I absolutely loved). This story follow’s Lark (Sloane’s long time best friend) and Lachlan (Rowan’s brother).
I listened to part of this on audio and read part as an e-book. I was equally impressed with the audiobook quality as I was with B&B.
I was really excited to read this. I loved Butcher and Blackbird and was so intrigued to continue the story based on the cliffhanger. Unfortunately it fell flat for me. I really like Lark and Lachlan as characters, but together they were not giving me the chemistry I hoped for. For the life of me I could not get invested into the storyline and it really dragged for me. I don’t feel like anything really happened until the 80-90% point and then the ending felt really rushed and low-stakes. Overall, it felt very repetitive to Butcher and Blackbird.
That said, I do love the premise and am interested to read the third in the series to see if it picks back up again!
