Butcher and Blackbird audiobook was the best audiobook I’ve read all year!!

[@tabc7036]

I clicked just for Butcher & Blackbird. This book is living rent free in head. Audiobook was exceptional. I've been recommending to everyone!

[@liezllovesbooks]

I’m with you I didn’t think I was going to like a spider romance but I do. I’m glad you kept going with The Boys Of Tommen series

[@charrwilliams]

Oh Im for sure gonna pick up Order of Scorpions.

[@theresakemble5973]

Dead Romantics, that was the book I was kind of skeptical about. It's one of my top 3 books of the year! 5 star read for me, along with The Seven Year Slip, which was nominated on good reads.

Joe Arden’s Irish accent was amazing 🥵🥵 I physically read up until like 70% but then swapped to the audio because my friend had finished it and I wanted to too but I had work I wish I listened to it all in audio the narrators were excellent 😊

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I added Order of the Scorpions to my wishlist a while back because of your recommendation and I feel like I need to read this book now lol. It sounds so good!

[@marlenreads]

I ended up reading the Ensnared series and loved it. I also loved the Perfectly Imperfect series. I will definitely add Butcher and Blackbird to my cart. Thanks

[@HonestFiction]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@miyayume_eclectic_dream]

I started Ensnared as my second and more of real monster romance.Love the writting so atmosheric. But I can't get over a pet element. Turning that into romance 🤔... sorry I dropped it.

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

Yeah, you aren’t getting me to read a spider romance. Nope. Nope. Nope. Spiders freak me out.
