**** Before you start reading this you really need to read book 1 Unhinged Cain so you can understand the story and dynamics of the Buchanan Brothers ****
Abel is convinced he doesn’t need anyone and thinks his brother Cain has gone soft since he met Kirby that is until he sees Aspen . Even though he tries to convince himself she’s just another kill he knows deep down she’s different and as much as Aspen says she doesn’t want Abel she knows she’s lying to herself. When things surrounding the copy cat killer come to light everything starts to fall into place and I sat kicking myself as I never saw it coming ( I’m usually good at spotting the bad guys so well done TL Hodel you got me

Abel didn’t exactly endear himself to me in the previous book so with my many preconceptions I was intrigued to see if he could manage to pull it together enough to make me like him even a smidgin. To be fair this was absolutely bloody mental Abel is certifiable loco and so incredibly but unique his many eccentricities and demented sense of fun made me smile despite his murderous tendencies.
The contrast between psychopathic killer and wisecracking comedian was extreme Abel’s mood changes as swiftly as the weather. He’s unpredictable totally unhinged and definitely insane and despite all of his evil deeds I still couldn’t help liking him. His logic only makes sense to him and his logic is at times incredibly childlike. Again be aware this is extremely graphic and the villain doesn’t have some major redemption here Abel is just Abel and Aspen eventually accepts him for exactly who he is a cold-blooded not quite sane monster. To everyone else, he’s totally dangerous but for Aspen, he becomes her hero.
Again imagine all of the triggers and this story throws them all out there for you. It was an easy well-written page-turner and it’s certainly unique. It bravely goes where other books fear to tread and I think it’s the contrast between the horror and humour here that made this mainly work. it distracted from the intensity of Abel’s actions making you unexpectedly laugh out loud and introducing a certain levity to the scene.
I definitely think Aspen’s unique past has moulded her into accepting the train wreck that is Abel. But I also genuinely think he gets her and it was so incredibly amusing to witness Abel in sheer denial and having to then backtrack with his brother and Kirby.
Finally, what the heck was that bonkers poem at the end of this OMG I laughed it was just so wrong that I couldn’t help myself Ode to a bitch In a box is morbid black comedy at its finest and I’m British so Im so there for all of that. This duet is for all those that adore a good old psycho romance this is definitely not for the easily offended though it has some extreme triggers and plenty of questionable content you’ve been warned.
Wow
Abel will make you question your own sanity and make you read somethings twice because you just can’t believe what you just read and you’ll never think of an eye socket as the same again. Once you’re done questioning your sanity Abel will having you laughing out. Some parts of the books felt lacking and little rushed but overall the story is super twisted and enjoyable. I wish there were more clues about agent Hanson in Cain’s book it probably would have made more sense that he was the villain
