About this listen

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.

I LOVED the voice actors on this. They did the best job.
The descriptions around the deaths were great and sometimes funny.
The spice in this book was SPICY. I liked it over all but didn’t LOVE it

Great voice actors

This had me smiling and blushing like a Cheshire cat! A good story with an unexpected plot twist that I didn't see coming. The spice was delish!

Fun, sexy and deadly!

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

Amazing performances but horribly cringy romance scenes

This audio is truly top notch - the voice actors are exquisite - and the story is so deliciously twisted but simultaneously beautiful! All the stars, highly recommend!

Twisted and brilliant!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3🌶️🌶️🌶️
The audio just wow!!
The spice, incredible.
But it was the banter that really sold this as being just amazing, it was perfectly timed and kept the entire book engaging.
Highly recommend but check triggers and expect never to touch cookies and cream ice cream again!

Outstanding!
