Continuing on a dark romance kick...and oddly enough a TBR/Beat-The-Backlog kick (and ignoring my ARCs kick). Here's Louise Collins's "Rat." It's the third novel in her Behind Bars series.
["Rory’s not like the other inmates.
In fact, he’s not an inmate at all.
He’s undercover, tasked with gathering information on Sebastian Claw.
Sebastian is planning something for his upcoming release, and Rory needs to find out what.
Rory doesn’t like the Sebastian of the past—the murderer, or the Sebastian of the future—the plotter.
He does like the Sebastian of the present.
The one he shares his cell, his body, and possibly his heart with.
The line between what’s right and wrong, what’s good and bad, start to blur.
But if Sebastian finds out who Rory is, he’s a dead man..."]
I love how this series also shows the shitty side of police work (haaated Rory’s coworkers), how there is now black and white.
These two made me ache. There was so much potential there, but so much hesitation, so much guilt. And the guilt only got worse and worse, upping the angst, and coincidentally, the pining.
I also spent a lot of this book crying, so that’s for that. It was therapeutic as fuck, but wow, I wasn’t ready for it. It was just one gut-punch after another.
And now I was fries.
Trigger Warnings: drugs, alcoholism, violence, threats of assault, blackmail, death, and more.
