BLURB:
Falling in love with an obsessive serial killer was the last thing on my to-do list.
I was born into a world of villains, so it came as no great surprise when my brothers fell for the most twisted monsters of all. A sociopathic fixer. A psycho sadistic cop whose name belongs in the dictionary next to corruption.
Maybe I’m the one who’s crazy, thinking I could have any semblance of a normal life. The worst part is, I can’t even blame them for my not-so-perfect marriage crashing and burning, or my struggles as a single father. When my young son goes missing and a ransom note turns up demanding a trade for the serial killer my brothers-in-law keep locked in a basement, though?
Yeah, I’m blaming them for that. And I’ll tear the world apart to get my kid back–even if it means keeping Demon leashed at my side.
James is something far more dangerous than Silas and Malcolm. He’s an unhinged, self-righteous killer who’s on a mission to punish the sinners who broke him in the first place.
He’s also my only hope of ever seeing my son again. When you embark on a journey through hell, you want a demon on your team.
It’s when he ends up in my bed that it’s a whole different problem.
REVIEW:
This story picks up where the previous one left off. Quiet middle brother, Luca, who has, until this point, tried to stay out of the family business. Having recently gone through a bad divorce, and with everything going on with the family, he and his young son have been staying at the family home.
Meanwhile, James (Demon) is still locked up in the basement jail which felt more like Hannibal Lector’s cell than anything. Silas and Malcolm have basically been taking turns torturing him for information. At some point, they need Luca to take a turn on watching James which is where their interactions really begin.
When Luca’s son is kidnapped, Luca is somewhat forced to ask James for help. There is a lot going on with the trio of psychopaths (Silas/Malcolm/James), who to trust, who knows best, etc. One thing is for sure, Malcolm is one nasty Mofo. I’d take Silas or James any day over him. Suffice to say, Luca and James grow closer through their ordeals which opens Luca up to his bisexuality.
All in all, this was a great ending to the series. This is a crazy, often violent, mafia family with romance thrown in to soften things up somewhat. This installment was interesting and exciting with a satisfactory happy for now ending. If you like things on the darker side, be sure to give this series a try.
