About this episode

The episode explores the chaotic and darkly humorous elements of Brynne Weaver's Ruinous Love Trilogy, starting with Butcher & Blackbird.

Hold on to your tits — this one’s a wild ride. This week we dive into the deliciously unhinged chaos of Brynne Weaver’s Ruinous Love Trilogy, starting with Butcher & Blackbird. What began as an unexpected pick from Laurel quickly turned into a hilariously disturbing good time. Think classic film villains with a dash of Dexter energy, an endearing-but-feral MMC, and a neurotic, antisocial FMC who somehow steals the show. It’s dark, it’s chaotic, it’s weirdly wholesome… and we have questions about ourselves afterward. Grab your favorite bourbon (bonus points if you’ve got Weller) or mix up a cucumber margarita and join us as we unpack the mayhem — including why this book has permanently ruined orzo pasta and cookies & cream ice cream for us. Chaos, cocktails, and questionable life choices await. 🎧🥃🍹
