It took me a while to get around to *Butcher and Blackbird* by Brynn Weaver, but boy, was it worth the wait! Though it didn't quite hit the five-star mark for me, I read it in one day and was glued to the pages from start to finish.

First things first—check the trigger warnings before you dive in. They're all over the place, so just give them a quick glance!

This book is an absolute whirlwind, full of quirky charm, cringe-worthy gore, and a world that sucked me in from page one. It’s definitely one-of-a-kind and worth a read if you know what you’re signing up for!

The main characters have the kind of banter that makes you grin from ear to ear. When Rowan named his restaurant "you know what" and permanently reserved a table for Sloane after only meeting her once, my heart went all mushy. His adoration for her is just too cute, and I loved his goofy yet totally devoted personality. "You'll love me someday" 😍.

The mix of humor and romance had me giggling one minute and swooning the next. The slow burn and spicy scenes kept me hooked, and I'm really thankful that I was never a fan of cookies and cream ice cream.

The found family and tight-knit relationships add so much warmth to the story. Sloane’s best friend Lark and Rowan’s supportive brothers are all in on their secrets and quirks.

It's a wild and twisted ride, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series!
