I think this book was ok. I was entertained, but the book has major flaws. There is no world building, almost no character building and the pacing/timeline was weird. The formatting was also weird.
I love the main characters tho. I love Sloane's mental struggles and how her anxiety was written.
Also Rowan was written as Draco in early fanfiction. IYKYK 😏

This book made me laugh-out-loud probably more than I would care to admit. I loved Rowan's quick wit (and the fact that he's obsessed with Blackbird from day one), and sweet -- scoop-your-eyeballs-out -- Sloane. This is truly a tale of unconditional love, albeit insanely grotesque circumstances. It's a riot!

The nicknames in this book - I love. And the fact that they all have a meaning. Never once do they call each other "baby" Rowan Kane took "touch her and die" quite literally, even to the point of "look at her and die" and I'm here for it.
The details were absolutely incredible to the way their minds worked and the intricacies of the murders and the scene - because yes they're explicit- it was beautiful. I could see the scene laid out in front of me as if I were watching Criminal Minds.
My only complaint is that after that epilogue I need more and I need it now, Miss Weaver. Please and thank you.

Well, thank f*ck for the content warnings at the beginning, though to be honest, they partly got me to read this book as I was intrigued. This was my first dark romance, and it was a ride! I liked this book's mix of funny and disturbing, which probably says something about me.
The writing was a bit too descriptive at certain points for my ability to visualize things vividly, so be warned if you can also create very vivid pictures in your mind while you listen!
Overall it was enjoyable if a bit graphic and I mostly liked the main characters! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
Narrator Rating- 5 stars
Both narrators did an excellent job! You could tell they put production money into the audiobook!
