Summary
A friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and spice, unlike anything you’ve heard before.
Every serial killer needs a friend. Every game must have a winner.
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, the two find something elusive—the friendship of a like-minded, pitch-black soul. From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, 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?
Butcher & Blackbird is the first book in the Ruinous Love dark romance trilogy of interconnected stand-alone dark romantic comedies. This dual POV novel ends on an HEA.
Butcher & Blackbird is a dark romance intended for an adult audience—please see Brynne’s website for a comprehensive list of content warnings.

Amazing performances but horribly cringy romance scenes
A bow for the narrators! Fabulous job both!
I really liked the concept of this and it was filled with genuinely funny dark humour; but the romance scenes were awfully cringy (I’m no prude but these had me physically cringing) and the story felt quite rushed hence 4 instead of 5 stars

So spicy and you’ll never see Orzo Pasta or Cookies and Cream Ice Cream in the same way ever again
I binge read this book and immediately knew I had to listen to the audiobook and BOY was I glad I did!!!
The voice actors were INCREDIBLE! Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers provide a performance that is just out of this world. And the spicy moments, phew 🥵🌶️ so worth it. Oh and you will never be able to look at cookies and cream ice cream without thinking of *that* chapter 🤣
This had me laughing out loud and I’m already going to start listening again because I am obsessed (please send help 😂)
I cannot WAIT for the next book in the series and I’m really hope there is an audiobook for that one (kind of hoping Joe and Lucy will narrate that - one pretty please with a cherry on top)
My only disappointment was that the bonus chapter wasn’t included like it is in the book 😭 I would have absolutely combusted if Joe and Lucy had recorded that 😂🐉
Anyways, if you’re thinking of listening, absolutely do it!

Edgey, Romantic and hilarious.
Fantastic audibook, brilliant written and the narration is PERFECT. Don't be put off by the trigger warnings, written in a lighthearted way to lift the overall feel of the book. The characters are perfect, I feel as if I know them now
