Book: Leather & Lark

Author: Brynne Weaver

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for an advanced audio copy. 

I really liked the first book in this series The Butcher and the Blackbird so I was excited to jump right into this one. This book was similar to the first one with everything going over the top but I liked this one so much more for a simple reason, The characters.

In Book one, I did like Sloane and Rowan, they were the main reason I was so invested in the story. I didn’t think those characters were going to be topped but I was wrong. Both Lark and Lachlan were so much more likable, which is weird to say with how shitty they all are.

The book starts out interesting and just hits the gas and never slows down. I liked Lark in the first book but having her as the star made this book shine so much. Her banter with Lachlan is top notch. I appreciate that Weaver has written two books about two couples who are killers and makes them feel so different. I can’t say enough good things about the writing. 

I have read books that have a fake marriage for different reasons but I never liked that idea. Lark & Leather has a fake marriage and this surprisingly worked for me. I feel this worked because of the reasons they entered the marriage. I have not been so invested in a relationship like this in a while. The excellent writing by Weaver with all the over-the-top violence and gore is excellently crafted to make this a must read series. Weaver will get you so attached to characters we all should hate.

Final Score 5/5
