Butcher & Blackbird

Rounded up from 4.75

What I liked: witty banter, building of sexual tension, serial killers killing serial killers falling love trope, concept of an annual murder game

What I disliked: too open door for me. I knew this would most likely be too much going in (the author has content warnings at the beginning of the book). This is “me as a reader”, not an author/book issue. This is whay I rated it 4.75

Overall, very fun read. I think you can skip reading the sexy time if that is not for you - it comes later in the book and you can easily skip most of it and it won't detract from the plot of the book. This is a series but it wraps up nicely at the end and the epilogue leaves you wanting to read the next in the series. Also, don't skip the bonus chapter.
