Hi friends, so today we're going to be getting into what I read last week and how much of the book I read each day! This will include the Goodreads synopsis (which can sometimes contain spoilers) and my overall rating if I've finished them during the week!
Butcher & Blackbird | Brynne Weaver
"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 a HEA."

ARC | Root And Bone | Jessica Raney
"Leona Monroe and her sister, Jewel Spencer, lives in Ames, a sleepy little Appalachian town where nothing much happens. When it does, everyone knows everything - at leas they think they do. The Spencer sisters have more insight. They come from a long line of Granny Woman - healers, confidence keepers, and powerful magic wielders - able to see into the future, manipulate the natural world around them, and commune with the dead.
When a girl is brutally murdered, it's clear the local law enforcement has no idea what's really at play. So it falls on Leona and Jewel to dig deeper into the mystery. In the middle of the investigation, strangers come to Ames who prove powerful and dangerous, setting Leona and Jewel at odds with dark magic, vengeful ghosts, and each other.
With the help of a friendly spirit, the vast knowledge of their mentor, Granny Kay, and their own powerful magic, Leona and Jewel must work together to counter the evil descending upon their town. But their insecurities and fears prevent them from stopping another murder. They need to get it together. If their magic and sister bond isn't strong enough, their town with fall to darkness along with everything they hold dear."

ARC | Hey, Zoey | Sarah Crossan
"Dolores O'Shea's marriage collapses when she discovers her husband's AI sex doll in the garage. When she moves 'Zoey' into the house, they become oddly bonded, opening the door to a lifetime of repressed feelings and memories. Darkly funny and endlessly sharp, Hey, Zoey is a propulsive story of love, family, and trauma in our tech - buffered age of alienation as strange as it is familiar.
43 - year - old Dolores O'Shea is logical, organized, and prepared to handle whatever comes her way. She keeps up with her job and housework, takes care of her mentally declining mother, and remains close with her old friends and her younger sister who's moved to New York. Though her marriage with David, an anaesthesiologist, isn't what is used to be, nothing can quite prepare her for Zoey, the $8000 AI sex doll that David has secretly purchased and stuffed away in the garage. At first, Zoey sparks an uncharacteristically strong violence in Dolores, whose entire life is suddenly cast in doubt.
But then, Dolores and Zoey start to talk... and what surfaces runs deeper than Dolores could have ever expected, with consequences for all of the relationships in her life, especially her relationship to herself. Provocative, brilliant, and tender, Hey, Zoey is an electrifying new novel about the painful truths of modern - day connection and the complicated and unexpected forms that love can take in a lifetime."
