Review by 831bookworm - Psycho

medium-paced

4.5

August Mulvaney

Looks: thick brown hair that swept away from his face in a wave and the beginnings of a beard over a strong jaw. His nose was just the tiniest bit crooked, like he’d broken it, and his top lip was slightly smaller than his bottom, which in no way detracted from his attractiveness. Looks like adult Harry Potter. Chest hair and belly hair. Uncut.
Very Dark academia living space - to help cut down on the sound and overstimulation.
Personality: childlike in his moods. Weird obsession with Celine Dione and knife collection and swords and medieval devices. Kills people to pop music. Sexual sub.
He’s smart. Einstein level smart. Ph.D. Professor of Quantum Physics, Ph.D. - biomedical engineering (first at 18yo). 2 masters degrees - applied mathematics and Russian literature. Eidetic memory and (over stimulated) receptors. And so he’s also kinda people stupid. Dad lied about his age (making him older) to ease the child genius thing.
Origin: youngest find so far, 4yo. Born named Isaiah. Mother had severe schizophrenia and he was smart so she thought he was a changeling and locked him in his room evermore 2yo+. No human contact during that time. Mother killed herself and when police cleared her body they found him. Only likes music and is violent only when touched. He chose his name August.

Lucas Blackwell

Looks: Dirty blonde hair, green eyes. 6 foot tall.
Personality: Clairvoyant. was a FBI agent before college criminal psychology professor. Gay. Bookworm. Got hurt in the shoulder and doesnt have full use of right arm.
Origin: Small as a child. Afraid of everything because of his power.
Family: His mother was psychic(?) but died before his visions started. Grew up with his grandpa who was the old fashioned type (across the board).

Cute meet = psyometrist touches a serial killer and then the killer is the only one to take his visions seriously.
“You’re batman.” Mmm. “I’m batman” and he’s dense and goal-oriented like the college humor batman character.
28% in and already talk of marriage. august doesnt mess around. He wants the unconditional that he sees Adam and Noah have.
Very hot psychic sex scene, it would be so hot to have that trust and constant feedback during sex. *across the room: “so talk more”. It’s also where a lot of the attraction and [fast] trust building is concentrated.
First Psychic look into thomas, the originator of the necessary evils. i cant wait to hear his story, and i already suspect the father-son forbidden trope will be for thomas and aiden.
Cute moments mimicking genuine reality of having a supportive partner who helps you or eases your pain or just keeps you company. Her ability to get you to instalove with the characters for the characters while reading is talented on her end and so much fun on the reader’s end. :)
