I loved Sloane and Rowan. They  both had a shitty childhood / past traumas and found a way to take back control and power.  Amongst their insecurities they have to learn to drop their shields and learn to trust. I am a sucker for a MMC that falls first! He was not letting his little bird fly away

The plot, the chemistry and the banter was definitely a 5 star read. But somewhere in their chaos it did start to drag a little. But I'm glad i read on as it was definitely worth it! That epilogue has left me needing more!

Also, I'm not ashamed to say i needed more of the detailed gory scenes and I'm definitely not put off ice cream! IYKYK ( cookies & cream) ✨4/5 ✨

Well written gory horror smut. However I couldn't get past the poor medical treatment of a dislocated shoulder. Don't know what that says about me but I really kept wondering if that shoulder was okay.

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

I liked it. I'm not moved much by how gross it is, but it definitely is pretty gross. Definitely a unique read. I liked the relationship and I learned something about genital piercings from this.
