Butcher & Blackbird

The Refined Art of Plucking

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Since I love Dexter, I already knew my moral compass in fiction was questionable at best—completely shattered at worst. So the trigger warnings weren’t repelling—they were an invitation. “Accidental cannibalism”? Excuse me? I love it when the bad guys get butchered and every gory detail is savored. I love deep, dark, broken geniuses who outwit the justice system. And I especially love when an introvert finds their kindred spirit in someone equally twisted. This book has all of that—and so much more. Sloane and Rowan are two of the most lovable, unhinged characters I’ve ever read. Yes, they’re both serial killers—but the good kind, the kind who only target other serial killers. So technically… serial serial-killer killers. Their playful, snappy dialogue is hilarious and oddly adorable, but the story thrives not just on their humor. Brynne Weaver weaves in a sharp, clever plot and a romantic tension that’s absolutely smoldering. If you’re into morally gray love stories with wit, heat, and body counts—Butcher & Blackbird is your next obsession. The only things required to love this book are a strong stomach, a questionable moral compass, and a dark sense of humor.
