Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Tourist Season" by Brynne Weaver. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)
"From No.1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes a wickedly delicious new series where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense - and where falling in love can be a killer.
Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.
You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can't save you from me.
Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colourful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. But with tourists come trouble, and Harper Starling won't let anyone ruin her picture - perfect home. A skilled gardener with killer instincts, Harper protects her sanctuary at any cost - especially for her aging mentor with a fading memory. Troublesome tourists don't check out of Carnage. They compost beneath Harper's award - winning flowerbeds.
But Notal Rhodes isn't your average tourist. Devilishly handsome, disarmingly charming, and skilled with a blade. Nolan is relentless in the pursuit of revenge. On every anniversary of the hit - and - run accident that fractured his life, Nolan slays another target. And he's saved the best for the undeniably beautiful Harper Starling. The problem? Harper isn't the monster he expected. And she won't go down without a fight.
When an amateur true crime investigator comes to Cape Carnage on the trail of a long - lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike an uneasy truce. If Nolan helps Harper protect her town, she'll keep quiet about his hunting habits... for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage - including their fragile love.
Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn enemies - to - lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a blade - and where love is the most dangerous battleground of all."
So the reason I wanted to read this is because I recently finished The Ruinous Love Trilogy by the same author and wanted to read her new series. Friends, Brynne has only gone and done it again. This book was hilarious, heartbreaking, and just left me wanting more. I loved every single minute of reading this book. The wittiness and banter I expect from Brynne's books was there, this book was definitely a lot spicier than the previous series, but honestly, even though I'm not the biggest fan of spice it wasn't that off - putting. I feel like it all melded well within the story and even added to it at times in a way that possibly couldn't have been achieved without it. My favourite thing always about Brynne's characters is the sarcasm that runs through them, and friends, this book was no different. The enemies to lovers trope was strong in this one, and definitely added to the humour throughout the book. She also managed to throw my favourite trope of found family in this book and I don't know whether what our main character had been through or what she is currently going through hurt more. The cliffhanger this book left us on was something I truly was not expecting, and I am so excited for Harvest Season to come out. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it. Please, as always, check the trigger warnings before you read!
I gave this book a 4/5 rating on Goodreads.
