i don’t usually add content warnings to my reviews but i felt like i had to with this book.. 

but it was funny at times? and kind of cringe, but wholesome. 

i am aware that butcher and blackbird choose to kill ’bad’ people, often serial killers.. but don’t they realise that they are just as bad? 
they seem to think that killing a ’bad’ person is them doing a favor to the world. well they need help

First of all, why did I have to wait over 200 pages for spice? Unacceptable in a dark romance, in my humble opinion. Secondly, there are only a handful of spicy scenes and the majority of those are only moderately spicy. This book was interesting and so weird. I’m annoyed at everyone who freaked the fuck out about the ice cream scene. It was definitely less disgusting than some elements that came to light prior to the ice cream. Still gross but not worth the hype if I say so myself. The book is pretty decent but I wouldn’t categorize it as dark romance cause there’s not enough spice. All in all, a quick and engaging book that’s easy to get through in a few hours.
