Butcher & Blackbird
Prepare to be thrilled and entertained in Brynne Weaver's electrifying novel, "Butcher & Blackbird." This dark and humorous tale follows the unlikely bond between Sloane and Rowan, rival murderers whose chance encounter sparks a unique connection.
Holy moley! This novel had me hooked from the very first page. The banter, tension, and playfulness between Sloane and Rowan were superb and thrilling to read. I enjoyed Sloane's journey of trusting people, and it was nice to see her grow in her relationships and her acceptance of herself.
What I loved:
Rowan + Sloane
The serial killers premise
The humor
The novel is peppered with clever horror movie references, adding an extra layer of fun for fans of the genre. From "Psycho" to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" to "Hannibal," @brynne_weaver pays homage to classic films while crafting her own unique story filled with suspense and intrigue. The humor throughout the book is on point, providing comedic relief even in the darkest moments.
The romance between Sloane and Rowan sizzles with intensity, adding depth and complexity to the story. Their relationship evolves organically, offering readers a front-row seat to a killer (pun intended) love story.
"Butcher & Blackbird" is not for the faint of heart. Be sure to read the trigger warnings before diving in. But for those who dare, this novel promises a thrilling and unforgettable ride.
I can't wait to see what is in store in the next one in this interconnected series of stand-alone novels. I think Lark and Lachlan are going to be intense but in a good way. HA!
