A dark comedy romance about serial killers couldn’t be the best love story we read this year. Right?
It just might be.
Author Brynne Weaver crafted MMC Rowan and FMC Solane to speak in banter that was top notched while actively fighting their friends to lovers path of destiny…oh and competing in a yearly challenge to murder. Serial killers killing serial killers.
Butcher & Blackbird takes an unhinged topic and turns it into a surprising study of comedy, romance and oddly enough finding yourself again after trauma.
Was this Booker hit? Did we all swoon over Rowan? Or did the unhinged aspects of this book turn a couple stomachs? Press play to find out! Oh, and bring a cocktail with you because you’ll need it 😉
