“I want to ruin her so that she’s mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos.”

The viral TikTok friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and sizzling chemistry—unlike anything you’ve read before.

When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive—the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers.

From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and 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?

Tropes:
Golden retriever x black cat
He falls first
Touch him/her and die
Friends to lovers

    I’m so sad that this is over! I will say that the start of the book seemed slow to me but as it went on I couldn’t stop reading! I will definitely be checking out the other two books!

    I love this book (would be perfect but I work in forensics and some things made my eye twitch) but otherwise perfect.

    On the language and sexual connotation is adult but the way the author writes feels very immature as if the two main characters are teenagers.

  • Just ok…

    Kept my attention but no wow moments. Story line was like Silence of the lambs, vigilante and Cinderella mixed with a little porn.

    One of the best dark romances I’ve read. The spice was HOTT and so was the action. The humor in this book was also one of my favorite features…. Definitely recommend (even with the trigger warnings and all)

    Brynne, where have you been all this time? Your book, Butcher and Blackbird, is a masterpiece I couldn't put down, and believe me, I'm not one to re-read books. Yet, this gem has become my treasure, destined to be cherished over and over. You've earned yourself a super fan right here! I've already stalked all your socials and added every book you've written to my exclusive TBR list. Butcher and Blackbird is a brilliantly crafted narrative, mixing humor with a captivating story in a way that's both engaging and smooth. The smut scenes? Absolutely top-notch, blending steamy details with genuine emotion, making them integral to the story rather than mere additions. The characters are vivid and their dynamics inject a rich humor into the narrative, making every interaction memorable. This book is more than just fun and sexy; it's a lesson in writing with depth and humor, proving you don't need to compromise one for the other. A must-read for anyone looking for a story that's entertaining, arousing, and incredibly satisfying. Brynne, you've outdone yourself!

  • Loved this!

    This book was absolutely incredible. I loved every second. The beginning of this book was literary genius. Brynne was able to hook me from the first page and keep me intrigued the rest of the way. This book had twists, turns, & every range of emotion imaginable. It was so beautifully written (for a serial killer book anyway haha.) she made you connect with characters that you wouldn’t normally be able to connect with. She has me rooting for killers!!! Straight up. I could go on and on. I LOVED IT! Wonderful book girl, wonderful. But please hurry up on the next one lol, just kidding take your time to ensure it’s just as good as this one! Wonderful book. Truly.
