Damaged by Onley James
4.0
I love Necessary Evils and this was a great interlude while waiting for the next book! “Damaged” offers some insight into Calliope’s life and is centered around her son, Dimitri, and Arlo, who has been Dimitri‘s object of obsession since they were kids. While this works as a standalone, I’d recommend reading the other books before.
”Damaged” has the usual themes for the series: psychopaths, murder, mayhem and past abuse / trauma, but it’s also sweet and steamy. I love how fiercely protective Dimitri is of Arlo and my heart swooned when he tried to hide Arlo behind himself when meeting the Mulvaney brothers. The story feels a little rushed, which I find common with novellas, and I would have loved to see more development between the characters.
The ending definitely left me with so much anticipation for the next book, I need more of Asa and Zane!
