a series of hot, rich, serial killer brothers?? I’VE NEVER GOTTEN A BOOK SO FAST 😭

i LOVE LOVE LOVE me a good anti-hero read!! doing a bad thing for good reasons, I’LL ALLOW IT (so long as it’s fictional 👀).

i genuinely can’t think of one thing in this story i didn’t love. there was banter, angst, a GOOD (and traumatic) backstory, lovable characters, strong pacing so the plot didn’t unravel too quickly—what’s not to love?? except Gary and his…yk 😤

Noah and Adam complement each other so perfectly, it’s indescribable how much i love them together. normally i prefer a bit of time to pass before the platform for the relationship develops, BUT I DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT HERE I WANTED THEM TOGETHER FROM THE BEGINNING

let me shut up actually, ‘cause i’ve got to start reading (MY MAN 🤭) August’s story 😼

TW: misrepresentation of mental illness, copaganda, drug use, graphic violence, mentions of child sexual abuse, anti-fatness.

Meh.

The premise is bold. Like a mashup of Batman, Queer as Folk, and Dexter. Where Bruce Wayne was a wealthy scientist who decided to raise a bunch of orphans to be vigilante serial killers, who are all super hot gay white boys. While I did find the bickering among the “psycho” siblings to be funny. The rest of the story is slow, boring insta-love tragedy porn.

This has most of the big Dark Romances tropes including dubious consent, morality chain, heteronormative power dynamics. If someone’s looking for them with young conventionally attractive white gay boys this book delivers.

I on the other hand was bored and annoyed with the contradiction of subtext conservative politics in a book about queer characters. Bleh
