Welcome to Cape Carnage\u2014visit once, stay forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brynne Weaver returns with another deliciously dark romantic thriller, Tourist Season<\/em>, a story that blends small-town charm, sharp humor, and twisted morality in a way only she can pull off.<\/p>\n

Cape Carnage might look like a cheerful seaside escape full of colorful cottages and quirky shops, but beneath the flowerbeds lies something far more sinister. Harper Starling, the town\u2019s meticulous gardener, is fiercely protective of her home and her aging mentor. Unfortunately for unsuspecting tourists, those who cause trouble in Carnage have a way of\u2026 disappearing. Harper\u2019s secret? They\u2019re composted beneath her award-winning blooms.<\/p>\n

Enter Nolan Rhodes, a dangerously handsome visitor with his own bloody mission. Each year, on the anniversary of the hit-and-run that destroyed his life, Nolan kills again\u2014and this time, his target is Harper. But when he realizes she\u2019s not the monster he expected, the two form a fragile truce that quickly spirals into obsession. In Cape Carnage, love and death are two sides of the same blade.<\/p>\n

My Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you liked Brynne Weaver\u2019s Butcher and Blackbird<\/em> series, you\u2019re going to love Tourist Season<\/em>. It has that same intoxicating mix of dark humor, morally gray characters, and slow-burn tension\u2014with all the same trigger warnings you\u2019d expect from her brand of \u201cromantic carnage.\u201d<\/p>\n

It did take me a bit to find my footing in this one. The male main character, Nolan, was tough to connect with at first\u2014I couldn\u2019t quite get a read on him. And the town of C<\/strong>ape Carnage itself felt odd and over-the-top in the beginning, almost like a Halloween town come to life. (Any place that sells \u201cbuild-a-body\u201d kits at the local drugstore takes a minute to adjust to!)<\/p>\n

But once I settled into the rhythm of the story, I was hooked. Harper Starling <\/strong>was my favorite\u2014she\u2019s a delightfully unhinged heroine with pet birds who act as spies and a woodchipper affectionately named \u201cCookie Monster.\u201d Weaver balances her deadly tendencies with wit and warmth, making her both terrifying and endearing.<\/p>\n

The book had me laughing one moment and flying through pages the next, completely absorbed in the escalating tension and crackling chemistry between Harper and Nolan. Their dynamic is intense, magnetic, and full of that signature Brynne Weaver blend of danger and desire.<\/p>\n

By the end, I didn\u2019t want to leave Cape Carnage. Weaver once again proves she\u2019s an expert at blending horror, romance, thriller, and dark comedy into something addictive and unforgettable. This one will keep you entertained, unsettled, and impatiently asking the same question I am:<\/p>\n

Now where is book two?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

(5\/5)<\/p>\n
