So, the book is different yet the same. Epilogue starts with somewhat of a background on Rose, how she came to be in the circus life as well as a tarot reader and such. Though not to the full extent but gives you a small preview of her. As well as how she became the sparrow and helps other women who ask her for help in the most unusual ways in part, with the help of her tarot cards.
How Fionn and Rose came to know one another was a bit unusual to me at least, yet at the same time it was in part kind of a Halmark movie scene in some way. Which I am not mad about at all, though what is partly funny to me is how Fionn yes though heart broken and living his Cinderman era in Nebraska is still shy as heck! As he is walking back towards his house after an evening run, gets a notification that someone has broken into his clinic. Though he thinks is Barbara a raccoon who likes to go through the medicine cabinet and get high and what not as well as any trash panda go through the trash and such. As he walks in through his clinic and do a sweep just to make sure his trash panda is not going through any medication, or trash finds Rose lying in one of the rooms with a cut pant leg, broken bone and blood. As he calls the ambulance he tries to in some way stabilize her leg and keep her as conscious as he's able to. After Fionn helps with surgery to get Rose's leg back in to place and such. As soon as Fionn finds out Rose has been leased from the hospital goes to her RV where she was dropped off to in hopes just to leave her motorcycle there and just make sure she'll be okay. Does not buy it that she'll be fine and invites her to stay at his house for the mean time while she recovers from her broken leg. In some way they start to know each other little by little. She finds out that one of his hobbies is crocheting with little old grandmas. Which I do not think is a bad thing at all, being surrounded by grandma's once a week would be the high light of my week if I'm being honest. Even if it was going to underground boxing fights every so often because why not. One of my favorite parts in the book was when Rowan and Sloane get to Fionn's house, after one of many of their yearly killing games. Is how Rose gets to meet them and she thinks that Rowan was the one who hurt Sloane. Though the scene how all three of them meet while Fionn is at his office is not the same as Butcher & Blackbird even though it was hilarious to me, at lean when I read B&B that part when Rowan and Sloane got to Fionn's house. As I mentioned before even though the scene is not the exact same, just by Rose relating the question Fionn asked what Rowan's childhood nickname was funny as heck, to me at least. It does have scenes where Lark, Sloane and Rose get to know each other, and how they all three become the best of friends. Rose was given a gold star by Lark and Sloane gave her the 'you're never getting rid of us, you're one of us now!' I just like the fact that if one of the girls is upset at one of the brothers all three of them gang up at the one brother. As well as how each one of them has the 'you do that/say that again I will murder you' glare for each of the brothers Lachlan, Rowan & Fionn.
In some way Fionn and Rose's love story is somewhat like a Hallmark move it also gives dark Lifetime movie a little, and I am not mad about it all. I actually like it, I like the fact that he was willing to give his all to help her even to cover her murderous scenes and take blame in some ways for her and telling her that she finished it rather than agreeing with her that she 'started it' like she always told herself. Fionn was willing to give it all and protect Rose at all costs even from herself, was such a move. Even though on the surface he was like his brothers unintentionally at the same time he was different, choosing to be different and not give in to the same thing his brothers did, one being a serial killer and the other one being a contract murderer.
Do I recommend this book?? Absolutely! That is if you are not squeamish and don't easily get grossed out or any of such. Yes, it definitely has dark humor, a lot of funny parts, including but not limited a trash panda who likes to get high and always in search of more snacks and makes friends with Poddles in the circus life. Though I feel it could had been a bit funnier, and darker than the first two books, it was still okay enough. All three books ruin some type of food for you, such as ice cream *vanilla*, cotton candy, and the nonfoods such as eyeballs, cannibalism and such. I personally did not mind any of that. So, yea as I said before if you like dark humor, comedy, and such I highly recommend the book. Or shall I say the trilogy. I enjoyed it a lot.
