This was a TREAT. I needed a laugh like this so bad. From start to finish Butcher & Blackbird kept me engaged. 

I would consider this to be a dark romantic comedy. There are plenty of triggers and graphic descriptions, I mean both main characters are serial killers so it’s to be expected. This was (dare I say) one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. The alternating POV’s were narrated perfectly. I let this one sit for a long time and boy am I happy I took a chance on it. 

Reminded me of the Mindf*ck series in ways, with the humor of assistant to the villain, but not cringey or forced like it felt with ATTV. 

I would highly recommend this one to anyone who enjoys dark romance with a large serving of comedy within the writing. Slow burns, witty banter, bad ass main characters, and just all around a good read for dark romance readers. It was right up my alley.
