Wow, wow, wow! I loved Butcher & Blackbird. Impatiently awaited this book's release. And just...wow. Brynne Weaver is a goddess of the written word. This book has everything you could possibly want, plus some things you maybe don't want but it's fine cause...feck it!
Lochlan and Lark are a "fecking catastrophe" and it's perfection from beginning to end. Never in my life have I read such unhinged characters written so beautifully. Brynne did not disappoint on her latest list of warnings. She delivered from page one. I may have gagged a handful of times, but that's to be expected.
Spice rivaled Butcher & Blackbird, aka more perfection. Loved that Brynne delivers the same level of spice, but manages to keep it completely fresh. No wash, rinse, repeat here.
Everyone I have talked to you about this book, I have urged to grab the audio version. Even if you aren't an audio person usually, the Ruinous Love series is best enjoyed audibly (in my not so humble opinion). Samantha Brentmoor and Eric Nolan are just as worthy of the 5 gold stars as Brynne Weaver is for concocting this tale. Run, don't walk, to read today.

Like Butcher & Blackbird, this book is not for the faint of heart or weak of constitution. Brynne writes murder and torture scenes in vivid detail, using some very...creative means (see her lengthy list of warnings at the beginning of the book). While they don't often explicitly talk about sexual abuse and pedophilia, these are all central themes to this book so be prepared. All that to say, these topics are all tastefully written...if that's possible of murder, rape, and violence in general. Happy reading!
