The FOMO was real with this one, and I am so glad I went with it.
Absolutely loved the story of Rowan (Butcher) and Sloane (Blackbird) - the dark humour, gore, romance and hella spice was on task.
If you haven't seen the warnings for this one, I have them posted on the next photo.
So in summary, if you're apt to clutch your pearls, Butcher & Blackbird is likely not for you.
I, however, am counting the days until the next in the trilogy (Leather & Lark) comes out in June!
Five stars and recommended!

I was thoroughly entertained and enjoyed the slow burn relationship that took years (actual years!).
Was a bit apprehensive about the cannibalism TW, but I must say it was done…tastefully ;) and the comedic tilt certainly helped!

The story was entertaining and well-paced but nothing special. The romance was interesting - with the serial killer element - but quite superficial

As far as the story itself, in an oversaturated market this book STANDS OUT. It is a unique plot, with well defined characters who still have room for growth. I can't wait to read the second book!
