Butcher & Blackbird: The Ruinous Love Trilogy (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, 1)

#1 New York Times bestselling series and USA TODAY Bestseller

"I want to ruin her so that she's mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos."


The viral TikTok friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and sizzling chemistry--unlike anything you've read before.

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.

Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves?
Or have they finally met their match?

Tropes:
Golden retriever x black cat
He falls first
Touch him/her and die
Friends to lovers

I didn't know what to expect, as I was unfamiliar with the premise. I jumped in with all my ignorant bliss, unsure of what I was getting into. Initially, I found myself rolling my eyes and feeling a bit annoyed; the concept struck me as odd and exaggerated, but that's fiction, right? However, as I delved deeper, the story began to grow on me. One of the highlights was the witty banter. I loved lines like "Get fucked!"—they added angst and edge that kept things entertaining. The spicy elements were good too! By the end, I found it to be a decent story that kept me engaged and genuinely entertained. Overall, it turned out to be a fun ride!

As someone who usually gravitates toward a good romantasy, Butcher and Blackbird was a delightful surprise. The banter in this book is top-notch—fun, sharp, and perfectly timed. It kept me laughing and thoroughly entertained. The storyline itself is unique and so well-written that it was easy to get lost in the world Brynne Weaver created.

But let’s be real, if nothing else existed in this book, it would still be an instant favorite for the spice alone. Holy macaroni, the spicy scenes shook my world and broke my brain forever! I’m talking A+ spice here, people. This book isn’t just a read; it’s an experience, and I’m still recovering. If you’re looking for something that’s equal parts fun, unique, and scorchingly hot, Butcher and Blackbird is your book.

The sex scenes were TOP NOTCH but there was a lot left to wonder, life where is the FBI and why are they never on to them? I would like to have heard about an FBI agent that’s been following them for years but just before he or she catches them they get killed (or something) I feel like I had a lot of questions but overall it was a good read and I’m going to start the next one!
