Publisher's Summary
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.

Now THIS is what an audio book should sound like!
While the storyline is pretty far-fetched, the performance of both narrators is hands down the best I've ever listened to. I wish all audio books were recorded this way.
The banter between both characters is hilarious, and that's easily what kept me engaged in listening.
The smut, once you get to it, is alright, but the overall performance is why I'd recommend this book.

Narration was fantastic!
This was GREAT and I definitely think you should listen to it instead of reading as the voice actors here are fantastic! Fun, funny, sexy and just all around a rollicking good time - highly, highly recommend.

My out-loud cackling of laughter
I have no notes, just *chefs kiss*! Performance is stellar, story is powerful, i heard those trigger warnings… but did not expect them to be told in such a way. I wish the second novel was a continuation on this one, a stand-alone with these 2 main characters feels like I’m being robbed.

Loved it
This book has it all. Suspense, spice & romance.
If you get past the Dexter style gruesomeness, it’s a fab book!

Irish Accent? Yes, please!
Considering the main characters and Their hobbies, the storyline is actually very sweet shdlwm and romantic. It is definitely a slow burn but somewhat worth it at the end. However the irish accent is the key of what makes this book that great!!

The narrators are amazing
Best narration I have listened to on Audible so far. They took what was already a hilariously dark and fun story to the next level. If you’re not squeamish this is the perfect book for lovers of romance and crime genres, blended together with witty banter and wicked humour. Looking forward to the next one.
