#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

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!

I liked the book but I felt like I didn’t connect to the characters. The 🌶️ level was great, the background of the characters didn’t really interest me that much. I was more interested in the spice than the storyline. I hear it’s a lot better on audio than physical read.

Different from my typical reads, I liked it. If you’re not in gore or have a sensitive stomach this is not for you.

I wish the spice in this book would have came sooner!! I mean we knew it was going to happen, so why not make it happen sooner?
