My tentative goal for October is to read only thrillers/murder mysteries/dark romances/paranormals/etc (unless my mental health kicks up a fight about it). Here's Onley James's "Unhinged." It's the first novel in her Necessary Evils series.
["Adam Mulvaney lives a double life. By day, he’s the spoiled youngest son of an eccentric billionaire. By night, he’s an unrepentant killer, one of seven psychopaths raised to right the wrongs of a justice system that keeps failing.
Noah Holt has spent years dreaming of vengeance for the death of his father, but when faced with his killer, he learns a daunting truth he can’t escape. His father was a monster.
Unable to ignore his own surfacing memories, Noah embarks on a quest to find the truth about his childhood with the help of an unlikely ally: the very person who murdered his father. Since their confrontation, Adam is obsessed with Noah, and he wants to help him uncover the answers he seeks, however dark they may be.
The two share a mutual attraction, but deep down, Noah knows Adam’s not like other boys. Adam can’t love. He wasn’t born that way. But he refuses to let Noah go, and Noah’s not sure he wants him to.
Can Adam prove to Noah that passion, power, and protection are just as good as love?"]
I don't know what it is about Adam, but I agree with Noah, he's addicting and irresistible (and a killer--but he's like a vigilante (a necessary evil)). And Noah???? I want to wrap him in a blanket and give him all of the tools to heal (and to kill his own demons--literally kill, yes).
These two were fast but sure, so damn sure. They knew what they wanted and it was each other, no matter how irrational or impractical it was. And I fucking loooooved it. I can't want for the rest of the series (and all of the other messed up (i.e. fucked up) brothers to meet their equally as messed up HEAs).
Trigger Warnings: graphic violence, dark humor, mentions of past child sexual abuse, murder, and more
