Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

4.0

I had so much laugh and giggles while reading this novel. I'm now quite regretting not reading this away and keeping on putting it off every time I thought of reading it before. But now, I read it, finished it, and enjoyed it so much 🤚🏽

The writing is definitely the major aspect I enjoyed in this story. It was just that engaging and entertaining for me. There weren't any dull or boring parts at all.

The couple— Sloane and Rowan, were wonderful and unhinged.  I love them 🫶. I also liked that we get to see some backstories of their character. I also would like to mention the smutty 🌶🌶🌶 chapters: it was very freaky of them, well suited for their characters. 

I also had so much fun with Sloane and Rowan's 'hunt' or their 'competition'. I liked how the story went into detail with it. It was gory, especially the 'cookies and cream' — I drew a line on this one.

The side characters were also equally captivating, I can't wait for Lachlan and Lark's story. I'll definitely be reading it the soonest. 

I'm also quite intrigued by the epilogue? I have theories about it, I'll just see if I'm right in the next instalment.
