About this listen

 'Everything I loved about the Ruinous Love Series and MORE . . . MORE spice, MORE plot twists, MORE serial killers' ABBY JIMENEZ

From No.1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes a wickedly delicious new series where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense - and where falling in love can be a killer 🌊🌹🔪💋

Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.

You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can't save you from me.

Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colourful 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. 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. Every year, 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 . . . for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage - including their fragile love.

Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a blade - and where love is the most dangerous battleground of all.

Editorial Review

Greetings from Cape Carnage
Brynne Weaver’s latest is twisted, hilarious, and an incredible start to a new series. Cape Carnage might look like a charming coastal town, but it runs on secrets, murder, and a suspicious tolerance for bloodshed. Harper Starling is Carnage’s grumpiest gardener and fiercest protector, doling out vigilante justice with her trusty wood chipper and her murder birds. When Nolan Rhodes shows up looking for revenge, he thinks Harper is his next target, but their meeting sparks a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers spiral filled with sharp banter, forced proximity and tension that you could cut with a knife. Narrators Samantha Brentmoor and Robert Hatchet are an absolute dream team—delivering all the funny, all the stabby and all the spice. And that cliffhanger? It’s going to haunt me until I get book two. I need more Carnage, immediately!!—Patty R., Audible Editor

Critic reviews

Tourist Season is everything I loved about the Ruinous Love Series and MORE - MORE murdery arts and crafts, MORE spice, MORE plot twists, MORE serial killers per capita than any town should ever have and I'm SO here for it
Hilarious, hot, and maniacally memorable! I'm obsessed with Brynne Weaver's one-of-a-kind brand of fun, sexy killers
A bloody ball meat of a good time! Weaver knows just how to carefully curate a romance you can't put down, from the deliciously hostile banter to an attraction you can't help but obsess over. I've taken permanent residence in Cape Carnage and feverishly anticipate the next season of murders
Brynne Weaver returns with another dark yet sweet and sexy romance - liberally spattered with body parts - crafting a fresh, funny tale in a way only she can. Full of heart, twists, and tender moments, Tourist Season delivers exactly what rabid fans of Weaver have come to love about her writing. I am obsessed
Brynne Weaver is a literary force unlike any other. Tourist Season is an evocative, suspenseful romance that will be sure to grip onto every reader's imagination and send their pulse skyrocketing. Filled with deliciously dark humour and slow-burn tension, Harper and Nolan's story was as decadent and twisted as it was human and raw. I had the time of my life reading Tourist Season and will forever read anything Brynne writes
All stars
Most relevant
Now, I have to start by saying i enjoyed it overall, i felt it lacked in the “comedy” side of it but i feel like some bits made me laugh because of the situations the characters were in, but otherwise the other reviews I had seen before reading this hyped up the humour a little too much, like seriously I thought i was going to laugh init. I really liked the ending and how it’s left at a cliff hanger, the way it was left off was great! It gave us something like almost a form
Of direction for the next one! But it also has left us wondering what on earth happens next! And I love the fact the next few books will be about the same characters and not new ones so I’m excited to see how their banter and their relationship develops, how they deal with the new issues they’re about to face and how they deal with the secret uncovered in this book! And the narrators did an amazing job! Defo really good
