Scum by K.A. Merikan

A  good start to the new series by these authors. While this was good and I enjoyed it, it didn't have the same punch as some of their other stories. It just felt at a different pace, a bit slower.

I do like the fact that these authors use morally ambiguous characters who do not apologize for who they are or change who they are. Shane the ex-con had a real chip on his shoulder and had a plan of attack that went sideways pretty quickly. He had every right to want to get revenge on Ed Beck after what he did, I just wanted to see him suffer not Rosen. I enjoyed his interactions with his junk yard family. 

I loved Rosen and felt for him when it all went pear shaped. He stood on his own and by his principles to create a new life for himself. Not a great life, but he just kept at it. I did like that he made Shane work to get back together and established himself as a partner not just someone that needed to be taken care of.

I loved Jag and can't wait to read his story
