Brynne Weaver is a Canadian dark‑romance and romantasy author whose work blends razor‑sharp banter with gritty stakes and emotionally complex characters. She’s built a huge following thanks to her viral, serial‑killer‑rom‑com Ruinous Love Trilogy, which earned her the bestseller status and nonstop BookTok chatter.
If you’ve heard of the author, it’s likely through Butcher & Blackbird, the first Ruinous Love novel about two morally gray killers who keep crossing paths until sparks and knives fly! Thanks to the book’s popularity, it was revealed that a movie adaptation was in the works!
The trilogy continues with Leather & Lark, published in 2024, and concludes with Scythe & Sparrow, published in 2025, three interconnected standalone romances centered on the Kane brothers and the fierce women who upend their lives.
Before Ruinous Love, Brynne Weaver has written the dark, fae‑tinged romantasy in The Shadow Realm trilogy, as well as other books like The Diviner and a couple of standalones.
Now, she’s gearing up for Tourist Season, her upcoming book and the first in her new The Seasons of Carnage trilogy!
Because several of her books are interconnected stand‑alones, reading in order maximizes the experience: you’ll catch recurring side characters, inside jokes, and timeline breadcrumbs, especially across the Ruinous Love books, without losing the satisfaction of a complete romance each time.

Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Love Trilogy in Order:
1. Butcher & Blackbird (2023)
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, the two find something elusive—the friendship of a like-minded, pitch-black soul.
From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country.
But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love.
Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves? Or have they finally met their match?
2. Leather & Lark (2024)
Contract killer Lachlan wants a quiet life working in his leather studio and forgetting all about his traumatic past. But when he botches a job for his boss’s biggest client, Lachlan knows he’ll never claw his way out of the underworld.
At least, not until songbird Lark Montague offers him a deal: use his skills to hunt down a killer and she’ll find a way to secure his freedom. The catch? He has to marry her first.
And they can’t stand each other.
Indie singer-songwriter Lark is the sunshine and glitter that burns through every cloud and clings to every crevice that Lachlan tries to hide inside. Lachlan thinks she’s just a privileged princess, but Lark has plenty of secrets hiding in the shadows of her bright light.
As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dark world that binds them together, it becomes impossible to discern their fake marriage from a real one. But it’s not just familiar dangers that haunt them. There’s another phantom lurking on their doorstep.
And this one has come for blood!
3. Scythe & Sparrow (2025)
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancée and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.
But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a bit of murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.
The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together, and the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up!
Brynne Weaver’s The Seasons of Carnage Trilogy:
1. Tourist Season (2025)
Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colorful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. But with tourists comes 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 Nolan 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 last: 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. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage—including their fragile love.
