Adam Mulvaney lives a double life. By day, he's the spoiled youngest son of an eccentric billionaire. By night, he's an unrepentant killer, one of seven psychopaths raised to right the wrongs of a justice system that keeps failing.Noah Holt has spent years dreaming of vengeance for the death of his father, but when faced with his killer, he learns a daunting truth he can't escape. His father was a monster.Unable to ignore his own surfacing memories, Noah embarks on a quest to find the truth about his childhood with the help of an unlikely ally: the very person who murdered his father. Since their confrontation, Adam is obsessed with Noah, and he wants to help him uncover the answers he seeks, however dark they may be.The two share a mutual attraction, but, deep down, Noah knows Adam's not like other boys. Adam can't love. He wasn't born that way. But he refuses to let Noah go, and Noah's not sure he wants him to.Can Adam prove to Noah that passion, power, and protection are just as good as love?Unhinged is a fast-paced, roller coaster ride of a romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a dirty-talking, possessive psychopath and a sweet cinnamon roll of a boy with Daddy issues and a core of steel. There's gratuitous violence, very dark humor, enough steam to fog up a hundred car windows, and something a lot like love. This is book one in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.

"(Warning to childhood abuse and child abuse) I freaking enjoyed this book so much! It’s like Dexter, meets Criminal Minds, meets Law & Order SVU. Adam has been adopted because he has psychopathic tendencies and raised to be a serial killer but only murders criminals. Noah finds Adam and wants revenge for killing his father. Adam is instantly intrigued and becomes obsessed with Noah. I feel like you shouldn’t know much going in but plz look up triggers before reading."
""Gay male seeks fun and excitement from A VGL Dexter Morgan adjacent serial killer ( but we don't need to use the term serial killer because that's not as romantic) who is not looking for love on account of you are incapable of love due to a tragic backstory. Even though it is established that you are unfamiliar with this thing the humans call love I expect you to feel something that is almost exactly the same thing only better because I know you will never ever leave me and will continue to provide the hottest sex imaginable. I accept the fact that you will never let me leave you and you will break into my place to watch me sleep. These are things I would usually call red flags but coming from you it somehow makes you even hotter. If you vow to kill anyone's who's ever wronged me I promise to help. I'm not exactly single but I'm confident you will help with that. <br/><br/>Let's speak some truths<br/>. If it wasn't obvious this personal ad is specifically meant for a very small group of people. I'm looking to find <br/>"not love" with one of the Mulvaney brothers. If you are anything like your brother Adam then I want you. I want you bad and I want you to not love me so hard in that way you psychopaths do that makes me so hard in my dick and my heart. If all psychopaths are anything like the sexy not serial killer in this book I can't believe I've waited so long to actively target this particular type for not love. "<br/>. I really like this book. It's funny, intriguing, oh so hot and dark. It's not too dark but it makes you feel like maybe it is. It feels much more dangerous than it really is but that's the perfect kind of danger. You get all the feelings that doing something deviant gives you but you can still live with yourself in the morning. <br/><br/>"

"Well, I wasn’t expecting all this to go on. I mean this in a good way. Onley James has been under my radar for some time. So happy I started with Unhinged. Unhinged is a Dark MM Romance. On my dark scale, it's medium Gray to Gray. Read the trigger warnings to some; this book may be black. <br/><br/> What do you do to children who have been abused and have psychopath tendencies? Well, you adopted them and trained them to kill monsters who slipped through the justice system, of course. Meet Adam, adopted at six years of age, and one of seven brothers, all of them trained killers and how to act in today's society so no suspects anything. Noah is one of Adam’s past kills son. Noah, after revenge, stalks Adam and eventually sees and remembers the truth of his father. What he doesn't expect is the spark between the two. Adam knows Noah is for him and can be himself around him. Their story doesn't end there; that is just the beginning. It's Noah’s remembering of his childhood that reopens his father case. <br/><br/> Have I ever told you I love psychopaths in books? There charming, calculating, and lethal. This book and series are made for me. So much angst and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My heart bleeds for Noah, and I couldn’t help but love Adam. How protective and possessive of Adam. Psychopaths can’t feel empathy, so when Noah has a situation, Adam called people on what to do to help Noah. That is deep. The sex scenes are spicy and hot. These two line up and give each other what they want and are not afraid to tell each other. <br/> <br/> If you like Dark MM romance, Unhinged is for you. It’s a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I see a binge reading of the author's books in my future."
