Butcher & Blackbird

A novel idea outside traditional romance that fell short on the execution. It almost felt like the book was published while still in a working draft. There were several times I went back to see if I had skipped pages on accident, or missed conversations, but I hadn't. The passage of time throughout the book jumps around and gives off a choppy feel. Lastly, the conversations between Rowan and Sloane were repetitive and surface level. I enjoyed the detail in the gore and appreciate that those scenes were well thought out. Overall I felt like the 2nd half of the book is where Weaver hit her stride. 3.5/5
