 “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye, and then that’s when the real fun begins.” Imagine Dexter as a rom-com with a healthy dose of smut, and you’ve got Butcher & Blackbird. It’s dark, twisted, and yet somehow incredibly fun. This book surprised me in the best way possible! Sloane and Rowan are serial killers, but somehow, they’re also completely adorable—and yes, I can’t believe I’m calling serial killers "adorable." The characters are so well-written that you end up relating to them in ways you never expected.

The book is packed with fantastic descriptions, sharp humor, and unforgettable moments. That said, it comes with all the trigger warnings. It doesn’t shy away from tough topics, but if you can handle them, it’s an unforgettable ride. Highly recommend for fans of dark romance and unconventional storytelling!
