BLURB:

Even the brightest places have shadows.

Stevie is sweet and shy—the only hint of an independent spirit comes from his lilac hair. For years he’s harboured a crush on his best friend, Adam, who is everything Stevie isn’t. The problem? When it comes to love, Adam is a bit slow on the uptake.
On top of that, Stevie fears the escaped killer known as Harlequin is targeting his friends, and clings to his role managing the merry-go-round for some semblance of normality. But someone is watching from shadows even the summer sun can’t penetrate.
Realising that life can be all too short, Adam takes steps to ensure that Stevie will be his. All his protective instincts kick in when Stevie attracts some unwanted—and very dangerous—attention, but he can’t take care of him alone. The group of friends needs to band together because the bright lights and whirling horses of the merry-go-round won’t be enough to keep Stevie alive. Some killers are far too good at hiding in plain sight.

REVIEW:

If you guys haven’t read L.M. Somerton’s books, you seriously need to. Her bools are so full of fun, usually a smartassy sub or two who get in to lots of trouble, and a nutjob who likes to go around killing people. See?? Loads of fun. This series cracks me up so much. I love all these little subs. So snarky. But alas, yes, there is a psycho in this one.

If you haven’t read book one, stop and go do so. This is an ongoing series. If you have read book one, you will remember Garth had his hands full of a psycho named Harlequin. Garth may not be out of the woods, but in this one, the focus gets shifted to Stevie. But it’s not Harlequin, so far, who’s after him. Or is he? ‘Colt’ puts some bad moves on Stevie, forcing him to find a package that was left for him somewhere on the carousel Stevie operates. Full of fear for his and his new boyfriend, Adam, Stevie does all he can to find it. And quietly. But Adam knows Stevie’s afraid of something and worms it out of him. When Colt come for the package, he realizes he’s been set up and takes off with Stevie in tow. But things get even more out of hand then and Stevie doesn’t know if he will make it out alive. He hopes Adam finds him before it’s too late.

I am so in love with these characters. They are so fun. Even when dealing with psychos, they know how to add the snark. For years Stevie has been crushing on Adam, hoping Adam will ask him out or something. Wondering if he will have to be the first one to make a move. Nothing like a little fear and the attack of a killer to make you open your mouth. I was so happy for Stevie. He was finally getting his dream man. If the nutso will stay away. And Adam makes me happy because he takes care of Stevie. He’s so gentle with him. Even when he’s being all Dommy. Just a perfect little match.

I’m so ready for book 3 already. Senior psychopath needs to be brought down and Zach needs to get his man. I was also happy that this book had some surprise visitors. That made my day so much and I laughed so hard. You guys really need to read this series. Just makes my day.
