Goddamnit! I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this series quite this fast, but here we are. This was so good! And I just want to reread it immediately.

I love Noah and Adam. For how fucked up this story was, they were so sweet together. I loved how Adam just kind of swept in and started taking care of Noah when his life started to implode in the worst way. And I loved how Noah in turn, was able to ground Adam whenever his temper flared towards the murderous side at inopportune times. I also loved that even though Adam is a psychopath he was willing to ask others for advice on how to help Noah when he didn’t have a clue. These two were so sweet together that I almost got cavities. I also really liked the (fucked up) family dynamics that the Mulvaney’s had. The sibling banter was top notch and the fact that all of Adam’s siblings gave (sort of) shovel-talks to Noah was priceless. And that Noah gave them back just as much shit/good natured teasing was so good!

This was the perfect start to a series that I’m already so invested in from one book. I love this family of psychopaths and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series! Unhinged is getting five out of five stars.

This book was a rollercoaster ride.  It's hella dark and it's not for the weak of heart.  PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.  Now, I was leary of the synopsis and that is why I didn't read it but something told me to give it a try and I'm so glad that I did. I loved this book from beginning to end and I can not WAIT to finish the entire series.

Okay, how could such a dark book have the sweetest romance? I ended up loving this! The hype is deserved. I will say that this won't be everyone's cup of tea and there's some pretty big CWs/TWs. I am intrigued by this family of psychopaths and can't wait to read the next one! Hopefully we get to see more of Adam and Noah in the next books because I love them!

While not usually my cup of tea, the Instagram recommendations were wild for this so I gave it a shot.

Definitely read the trigger warnings and go slow if you aren't sure! 

The story feels very short, even for just shy of 300 pages. The characters aren't super developed and I found myself way more interested in the other brothers than Adam. I will definitely be reading their books too. 

Over all, the plot is straightforward, the sex is pretty great, and the writing is solid.
