Leather and Lark
Written by: Brynne Weaver 

The second book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy is here! This book surpassed any expectations I had when starting it. I thought the first book was great and nothing could top it, but the second was somehow even better. This book follows the best friend and brother of the main characters in the first book. The two find themselves stuck with each other in an act to protect their loved ones, even though they absolutely loath the little they know about one another. Upon realizing that the only way to keep their loved ones safe is to work together, they find the more they learn about each other, the harder it is to maintain their mutual hatred. Throughout the novel, the two try solving the mystery of who is stalking their family and how to put an end to them before it is too late. This story has mystery, love, passion, gore and will have you captivated from the moment you read the first chapter. 

I thoroughly enjoy reading Weaver's writing, as she paints a beautifully vivid picture as you're reading and brings the words on the page to life. The story line is well thought out and understandable, interesting to read, and captivates your attention in the intricate plot twists and mystery. Like the first book, the format jumps points of view between the two main characters and the mystery man stalking them. Weaver did an amazing job at writing these very different points of views and really puts the reader in the mind of the point of view she is writing from. I will forever recommend Brynn Weaver and this series to anyone who loves a good dark romance that holds an interesting plot. I've found that this series is one of few that is able to have the dark romance vibe intertwined into the plot, rather than losing the plot in the romance.

Butcher and Blackbird Written by: Brynne Weaver  This week's book is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is the first book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy. The plot follows two serial killers whose goal is to kill other serial killers. They originally meet in a "sticky situation" and decide to start a yearly tradition of competition in the murdering world. Every year, the two meet up in a chosen location in a battle of who can find the victim first. In their efforts of learning to maintain a friendship, their connection begins to grow even deeper. This is a dark romance story that showcases topics of love, friendship, revenge, murder, and a bit of overcome trauma.  I would highly recommend this book if you are interested in the genre. Weaver does a miraculous job in creating morally grey characters that her audience can still fall in love with. The gore and romance evenly balance out the novel and make it one that is impossible to set down.  Genres: ● Fiction ● Dark ● Romance ●...

The story follows two characters happen to be stuck in the same constant loop of dating a person and that person meeting the love of their life immediately after their breakup. When discovering each others' dilemma through social media, the two characters agree to date each other to hopefully cancel out their alleged curse. They agree to a relationship "just for the summer" encompassing all of the things they have done in previous relationships. However, like all fake dating occurrences, their situation gets a bit messy. This story has everything you could ask for in a cutie romance with a deeper meaning.

  Pretty Girls Written by: Karin Slaughter Nothing gets me into the Fall/Halloween spirit like a good thriller. Although some may say it is too early, I just couldn't wait, especially when I heard about this book. Pretty Girls  follows the plot of three sisters, one abducted years ago from her college, and two living in present day. After the death of one sister's husband, the two sisters reunite following years of no contact and begin unraveling the story of what happened to their sister and how the husband's death ties into it.  This book will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It pulls at your heart strings with passages written by the girls' dad after the kidnapping and absolutely blows your mind with the thought out plot twists. I had such an amazing time reading this book! I was a little worried at first because it is out of my comfort zone, but this was the perfect book to dive into the mystery/thriller world of reading. The story was incredibly we...
