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.
