Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver REVIEW

Summary:


When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive - the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers.

From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country.

But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love.


My Thoughts:


This was such a fun story. The book starts with Sloane being stuck in a cage after killing someone for three days, only to be rescued by Rowan, another serial killer looking to kill the already dead guy. She starts a reluctant friendship with him, that turns into them having a yearly game of who can kill the picked serial killer first. They know each other's darkest secrets and they text each other every day. Sloane and Rowan start catching feelings, and before they know it, they are dating.

I loved the chemistry between the two main characters, and the love story feels right and not at all rushed. Rowan catches feelings first, but waits until Sloane confesses so that their friendship doesn't become awkward or ruined. They are also believable as serial killers. The hunting scenes are fun and dark, and well descriptive. The characters do eventually have sex, and it is also descriptive.

Overall, this was very enjoyable to read, and I look forward to reading the next books.


My Rating: 4 stars
