Well. If you want unhinged, crazy characters (like literally, all of them), and lots of death threats, this book is for you. I love all of those things and it didn't quite work for me. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did.

Yes. Just 100% yes.
The only thing I would change about this book is the cover. It held me back longer than it should have because this gem should be devoured by all immediately.
If you’re a fan of dark comedy, this is 100% for you. It’s written well, the characters are fleshed out (and unhinged), the dynamics are… just as unhinged. It doesn’t take itself too seriously (it’s a comedy for goodness sake, and the best never do.) The plot is plotting the entire way through and it even gives us a perfect segue into the characters in the second book, which sounds just as bat sh*t crazy as the first—in the best way.
Kick up your feet and read it, you freakshow.

Absolutely cracked, unhinged, but very entertaining. These characters, the world they live in, and the general plot are not to be taken seriously. That being said, this book is definitely exciting, and will have you turning the pages fast!
This needs to be said though: please take the TWs seriously. There is so much homophobic language and potentially triggering events/interactions in this story. It’s handled pretty bluntly. I know the author is gay, which I had to keep telling myself as I was reading, but this content can be pretty rough. I found it sometimes taking me out of the story. Do not read this if you’re not ok with homophobia being thrown around abruptly and constantly. (This is coming from someone who is gay, but isn’t normally really triggered by homophobia in books).
Though this book was really fun and different from anything else I’ve read, the plot line is kind of weak. Great premise at the beginning, but doesn’t carry hard until the end. In the end, the focus is also taken off the main characters’ relationship, and focuses a surprising amount on a sudden side couple. Their dynamic is fun and insane too, but just felt like their story was suddenly injected into the middle of Brody and Scotty’s.
Read this book if you’re in the mood for something insane but entertaining!

Okay this was intense😂
It was definitely not what I expected and it was definitely better than what I expected. I had a really good time reading this, even tho it is unhinged AF. It's so different from every other MM romance I've read so far, but that's definitely not bad. It's a little bit like watching reality tv - the characters are super out of touch with the real world and completely unrelatable, and you still have a really good time watching. It was so funny I laughed out loud (even if some of them were because of "HE DID NOT", "WHAT is happening?!" and similar situations), it was VERY spicy and actually quite hot, even as an ace person, I can appreciate well written spice, and it was deeper and more lighthearted at the same time than I was expecting. I honestly thought it'd be an unhinged MC and basically smut only, but it was thrilling, I loved the character development and the romance was really solid. There were some struggles with consent (not regarding the MCs), which is why I'm a bit scared to read the next book, even tho I'm sure it'll be well executed and explained somehow, because every single morally grey thing in this book was also explained quite well. I had a really fun time reading this, but be aware it's SUPER graphic, not only regarding smut, but also regarding murder - it still is a hitman agency.
