Book description
Brynne Weaver's Scythe & Sparrow isn't just the final chapter of the Ruinous Love Trilogy-it's the audiobook you'll blast on repeat while pretending you're not giggling at the sheer, delicious chaos. Weaver, master of the genre-bending dark rom-com (remember Butcher & Blackbird? Yeah, that author), delivers a finale packed with murder, mayhem, and so much spice you'll need a fan. But the magic? It's all in the audio.
Picture this: Doctor Fionn Kane, nursing a broken heart and a shattered career, trying to hide in Nebraska, no romance, no Boston circus. Then Rose Evans, a motorcycle performer who moonlights as a killer (and loves it), crashes his quiet life-literally, after a botched kill leaves her with a broken leg. Cue the instant, crackling tension: the adorably awkward doctor meets the dangerously charming circus queen. Their banter? Pure audio gold. The narrator nails every sarcastic quip, every hesitant confession, every oh-crap-I-just-accidentally-liked-that moment. You hear the playful edge in Rose's voice, Fionn's quiet intensity-hearing it makes the "friends-with-benefits" dynamic feel intimate, dangerous, and utterly irresistible.
Weaver's genius is balancing the dark humor with real heart. The audiobook's pacing sucks you in: the tension builds like a slow burn, then BAM-suspenseful twists, witty dialogue, and those steamy moments where you're definitely not just listening to a book. The narrator's delivery makes the "ghosts catching up" theme feel visceral, like the past is whispering right into your ear. And the spice? Oh, it's there, but woven in with such natural, playful energy that it never feels gratuitous-just perfectly them.
This isn't just a book; it's the soundtrack to your next late-night listen. It's the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and a romance that feels earned. Weaver's trilogy finale isn't just satisfying-it's addictive. You'll find yourself rewinding the best lines, grinning at the banter, and utterly convinced you've found your new favorite audio escape. If you've been avoiding the "dark romance" label, Scythe & Sparrow will make you reconsider-and you'll be glad you did. Just don't blame me if you stay up way past your bedtime, utterly hooked. This is the audiobook you've been waiting for.

The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
