About this listen

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.

Butcher & Blackbird is a dark romance intended for an adult audience—please see Brynne’s website for a comprehensive list of content warnings.

Loved this from start to finish and the narration was phenomenal! Wish all audiobooks were duet narration. Also Joe Arden with an Irish accent was 🥵🥵🥵

Incredibly entertaining

I loved reading the book its self, but the audio was even better. The way both of the narrator’s were combined made it so much more enjoyable to listen to and the Irish accent was perfect.

Amazing!

I also normally have the audio speed at 2.00 and it just worked with their crazy banter.
The extra sounds like the separate laughing, groaning just worked in it's weird and crazy way.
Definitely worth it

Having seen this come up on Instagram, I bought this book a couple of months ago but always chose others to listen to before it - I regret that now! This is a deliciously evil rom-com that had me laughing out loud, screwing up my nose in yukiness and swooning; I’ve never read something like it and that’s why I enjoyed it so much. It’s a really unique story and the narration was simply brilliant. Can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out and I will read it immediately!!!! Simply put - I loved it!

Why did I hesitate for so long about this book?!!
