Psycho by Onley James
5.0

Eta 2: comfort reread/listen. I love August and Lucas so much.


ETA: Going to listen to this in audio as my first re-read since it came out and I'm already in love and remembering why this is my favorite couple (well, kinda tied with Avi and Felix nowadays lol) but I just love the voices and this narrator is so great with this series.

AHHH this series is so, so, so twisted and so freaking AMAZING. I'm already so excited for the next book!

Onley James is becoming a major go-to writer for me. Everything I read from her is a 5+ star read for me. You will fall in love with the morally grey MCs, you will root for them to BE the bad guys, and you will love the chemistry she writes between the MCs - it is always, always fire. So if you haven't picked up this author yet, I strongly urge you to do so.

August is a professor by day, psychopath vigilante by night. He and his other Mulvaney brothers, led by their adoptive father Thomas, work to take down the bad guys that the legal authorities can't or won't take out. August meets Lucas, another professor on campus - but Lucas is also ex-FBI and possesses a unique skill of psychometry. Their connection is instant and quick and hot and just works for them so, so well.

Definitely heed some warnings - there is torture, some graphic description of death and torture, some blood play and knife kink play, but don't let the warnings stop you from falling for this crazy twisted family oh psychopaths. For being an autistic psychopath, August is incredibly sweet...and there are some hilarious moments mixed in this book that really help lighten up the situations.

I love Noah being the human voice and opinion in things, and how well he and Lucas got along. I just love this twisted family so much and can't wait for the next book. (And Thomas' book!)

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
