What Is Butcher & Blackbird About? Rowan Kane and Sloane Sutherland

Rowan Kane, the Butcher of Boston, is a talented chef with a very different second job. Sloane Sutherland, the Orb Weaver, is a killer known for arranging her victims in spider-web displays. They meet over the same target and agree to an annual contest to hunt the worst predators they can find. Year after year, rivalry turns into friendship, then into something neither of them expected. The result is a serial killer romance that's funny, dark and surprisingly tender.

Why Readers Love Brynne Weaver's Serial Killer Romance

Butcher & Blackbird works because it balances darkness with heart. Readers love its morally grey characters, its rivals-to-lovers tension, its laugh-out-loud dialogue and a hero who is, surprisingly, a total cinnamon roll for his blackbird. Many fans say it was their first dark romance and the book that made them fall for the genre. That's why Butcher & Blackbird merch is so popular with new and experienced readers alike.
