Psycho by Onley James

4.0

4.25 stars. These psychos have my heart!

Y’all. I love this family of psychopaths. More than I love most normal “people”. They’re smart (scarily so) and clever and absolutely emotionless and oh so funny I can hardly deal. And in case of August, ridiculously swoony.

August is possibly the smartest in a family of geniuses, and possibly the most psychotic in a family of psychos. And also maybe the sweetest? Without even trying. The closest thing to a cinnamon roll serial killing psychopath one can find. It’s crazy how the things he says will melt you (and Lucas) into a puddle of feels. Lucas somehow matches his crazy, with his parapsychological abilities (not even the crazy part) and his reluctant acceptance of August and his, umm, predilections. I’m still not all the way sold on the insta love aspect of this series but I do get why it’s a thing, since these boys tend to imprint on their SOs instantaneously or well, they don’t.

The overarching murder plot is also fast paced and gruesome and somehow well done without losing the irreverence of the boys and their plans. I literally need stories for everyone including Thomas ASAP.
