My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Gael Peterson is an enhanced member of the FBI's HERO team but wears a mask not showing his feelings or emotions. He still hurts from his mother abandoning him and his father's physical abuse which he hides behind the ugly scars on his face. He doesn't trust his new human partner Jake and it won't be easy for him to rely on Jake to have his back, especially when the abilities of a vulnerable, nonspeaking, enhanced child make that child a murder suspect. Tempers rise, and loyalties are challenged, and when a serial killer targeting the enhanced sets his sights on Gael, not only will Gael have to trust Jake with his secrets, he might have to trust him to save his life.
I loved this story which had a lot of emotional stuff around trust, betrayal and openness. Gael with Derrick was just adorable and I loved the way he did everything he could to communicate with him and find out what had happened. This was a thriller mystery around the serial killer which took on a whole new dimension when Gael was targeted. I could have cried for all of them - Gael for the physical and mental abuse he was receiving, Jake for his worry and subsequent rejection of the man he loves and Derrick who was ignored, passed on like a parcel and constantly threatened with a lifetime in a psychiatric facility. Easy to read, feel and understand you will cry when reading this. This is an MM story with mature content.
