I loved Sibbys story so much! It was definitely Smut driven which I was prepared for. With all the buzz surrounding these characters I really can't wait to dive into the cat and mouse duet. It is definitely dark but I don't have many if any triggers that I've found yet. That doesn't mean that the next reader should avoid reading the list before diving in. Everyone is different. I can't wait to revist Zade now!!!!

Spoilers past here:





I really enjoyed the fight club esq ending of this novella! Zade was trying so hard to help sibby but she just couldn't leave them behind. It was a really sad ending....but also, will we be seeing her soon too!? I cant wait.

This book does have an epic Romance, however, the Fantasy world building in this book is insane! I have to reread and tab this book so I dont miss out on all the juicy details!

I honestly love Lark so much more than Blackbird. And that isn't because book 1 is bad. In fact I loved the audio so much that I reread the physical book afterwards. For Leather And Lark, I switched back and forth between the audio and the paperback. I have to say that Bryne Weaver is on my short list of autobuy authors forevermore! Feckin Hell❤️❤️❤️
