Body Count by L. Eveland

4.5

 
Minor spoiler
Honestly this is more of a 4.5 for me. I loved this book and was invested from the start of this book, and I am already dying for the next book having to do with the brother War. Honestly, I can't wait for each brother's story. I have never been one for book boyfriends but if I was to have a book boyfriend it would be River. He was the perfect blend of obsessed and caring and was always concerned with the well-being of Theo and always seeking consent with him.
This book starts off with River going to a bar and is itching to hurt someone. When across the bar he sees this young guy (Theo) and is instantly obsessed with him. He also realizes something unusual is going on with Theo and the man he is with. Come to find out that Theo has been purchased by the man he is with for the night. Well River decides he must have Theo and offers the other guy money to keep Theo which the other guy is not happy with. So, River just takes Theo and when the other guy follows them River takes care of him permanently... It is when River takes Theo home that he finds out that Theo is a victim of human trafficking and has been for as long as he can remember. Well, that doesn't sit right with River, and he decides not only does he have to win Theo over, but he also needs to get justice and vengeance for him as well.
Totally recommend and can't wait to read the about the rest of the family.
