' “You might be psycho,” I say with a grin as her eyes narrow, “but you’re my psycho, and I’m yours. Got it?” '
I listened to this one, along with Leather and Lark, last summer whilst I was manning the cement mixer as we landscaped our garden! I had no idea what to expect, I just knew that everyone had been raving about it, and, like the sheep I am, I had to follow.
One minute I was listening to the most gruesome murders I have ever read or listened to, and the next, it was getting very hot and steamy! On and off my husband would ask me what I was listening to, and I'd just say 'someone got murdered', but then half an hour later, I'd be distracted (probably getting the measures of sand and cement wrong) and he'd ask what was happening in the book. He was getting very confused when I'd say 'a lot of s*x, and thought I'd switched books. He doesn't read - he doesn't understand that murders and steaminess can go together, lol!
Both narrators are brilliant, I was invested right from the beginning, and even though I didn't know what to expect, I was blown away by the speed at which this story travelled. The chemistry between Sloane and Rowan and the breathtaking, if macabre, killings. I didn't think I would be into this, but I totally was!
About the Book
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, the two find something elusive—the friendship of like-minded, pitch-black souls. 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?
Writing has always been a hobby for Brynne. Even as a young child, she loved typing out stories on her grandmother’s typewriter. She wrote award-winning poetry and essays, and dabbled in various forms of fiction over the years. In 2019, Brynne committed to publishing more of her works, and released her first non-fiction book (under her real name!). She then began focusing on her first fantasy-romance (or ‘romantasy’) series, The Diviner. Next up was the three-part Shadow Realm paranormal dark romance series. Brynne then partnered with author Alexa Harlowe on the contemporary dark standalone romance, Black Sheep.
Brynne aspires to write female-focused stories about complex, resilient, imperfect characters who struggle with anger, trauma, fear, courage, and love.
