Razors & Ruin: A Dark Romance Sweeney Todd Retelling by Cara Bianchi
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, retold as the darkest of dark romances.

Sweeney


Ten years of exile left me a hollow shell. Now I’m back with a new name, ready to tear apart every soul who wronged me.

But when I set foot inside a place from my past, there she is.

Nellie Lovett. I barely remember her, but she remembers me. God, does she remember.

There’s devotion but also true madness in her eyes. To me, she’s useful. Nothing more.

I don’t need her. I don’t need anyone.

If Nellie wants to worship the broken pieces of who I was, let her. I’ll take what I want until there’s nothing left of her to ruin.

I am no longer a man. I am the blade that will cut this city—and her— wide open.

Nellie

The moment I saw him spill blood in the streets and howl his rage at the world, I knew he was the one.

I waited, tearing myself apart in the darkness until yearning scarred every inch of my skin. I knew he’d come back.

Now he’s finally here, looking at me like I’m nothing, and I want to scream.

If he thinks I’ll let him ravage my heart and body only to pass through my life like a phantom, he’s wrong.

I’ll make him stay. I don’t care if I have to burn the city to cinders—if I can’t have him, no one can.

Because he and I are the same; he just doesn’t know it yet.

It’s Sweeney and Nellie for all eternity. Even if we spend it burning in Hell.

Please this is a very dark romance retelling of Sweeney Todd. You are advised to check content warnings before diving in. But be assured - Sweeney and Nellie get their HEA!
