Ruinous Love is a dark romantic comedy trilogy about the three Kane brothers and the dangerous, morally gray women they fall for, blending serial killers, assassins, and vigilantes with unexpectedly tender, character‑driven love stories. The first book, Butcher & Blackbird, follows rival serial killers Sloane and Rowan, who form a twisted friendship and yearly “game” hunting other murderers that slowly turns into something deeper. The companion books, Leather & Lark and Scythe & Sparrow, follow contract killer Lachlan in a fake‑marriage alliance with glittery pop star Lark, and heartbroken small‑town doctor Fionn entangled with circus performer and part‑time killer Rose, as each couple confronts their pasts, their capacity for violence, and whether they can build a future together without spoiling any of their endgames.

Spoiler-Free Review

Hmmmmm how to describe this dark romance series…. if you and your friends were serial killers and you met 3 Irish brothers in the same line of business, you would have the Ruinous Love trilogy. Kill Bill meets Dexter meets Peaky Blinders 😆

I think the series tried really hard to be whimsically horrific and just didn't quite hit the mark. Book 1 was the best and we should have just left it at that. The only thing I liked about book 2 was that it flipped the script and a vengeful phantom is hunting down the FMC/MMC instead of the other way around. Aaaaaaand book 3 was just a hard pass for me. I almost DNF'd.

It was okay but now I can't eat ice cream. Thanks a lot, Brynne Weaver 🤢😆
