Y’all. This is Bat Family fic right? 

All the reviews say “it’s not very believable” but like neither is Batman so go with that. 

I swear it’s just Damion or Jason turned on its side but it was a hell of a ride.

This has trigger warnings for a reason and doesn’t shy from talking about any of the above. It’s a fun book, wild concept, but do. Not. Read. If anything on that list is going to bother you.

I kept seeing all the Neceassary Evil books recommended in the various bookclubs I'm apart of, but kept putting them off... 

Well, I finally caved and I'm pleseantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. There's so many layers to the characters and story that you simply fall into it and can't put it down! 

Though, I must admit I have a few questions... 
1) What happened to Noah's trailer? In a way, the trailer represented Noah's freedom for his previous life and he was adament about keeping. Now, Adam did mention he could have the trailer moved, but was it? 

2) And Beth, she was Noah's work BFF, will she make any future appearances or is she now just a footnote in the beginning of Noah's story? She was his only true "friend" - along with her girlfriend - that he allowed into his life, that it's a bummer that nothing else was mentioned of her.

All that being said, I do want to mention, that as out there as the ending was, it actually kinda reminded me of the A-Team movie (with Bradely Cooper)... If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about. :D

This is the first dark romance I've read where the darkness actually makes me doubt the romance. In other words, I sometimes felt like Noah's trauma and Adam's psychopathy were the only reasons the relationship formed and would continue beyond the 'HEA.' Is that a bad thing? I don't know for sure, but it felt like it as I was reading. 
I can say that I was thoroughly entertained and engaged in the story. I love the banter between the brothers and will likely continue in the series to get more of that. 
My biggest complaint is the maturity level of the characters. Noah and Adam both felt very juvenile to me. I couldn't stop picturing them as teenagers for some reason. Especially Adam. I found it very hard to accept that he was in his mid to late twenties. I'm curious if that will be the case when reading about the brothers that are even older.
