Butcher & Blackbird

Butcher & Blackbird is my favorite read of the year so far! It delivered all the feels. It had me actually laughing out loud, crying, near-vomiting, and completely smitten.

The chemistry between Sloane and Rowan is off the charts. I loved their banter, playfulness, and protectiveness. I enjoyed watching their friendship morph into love. It was refreshing to read a romance novel that developed over a significant period of time, as opposed to an instalove connection.

Brynne Weaver's ability to work in that list of trigger warnings in such an amusing and/or lighthearted way was incredible. I mean, how could accidental cannibalism make me actually laugh out loud? Ice cream, though...
