My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eli was only seven years old when he had been given to monsters. Sixteen years later and with his enhanced abilities changing he gets the chance to get revenge and no one (even his new partner who can see into his soul) is going to stop him. Agent Daniel Connelly left Washington trying to keep his sanity, but the images of the innocent victims are still haunting him and knows the horror in Eli’s eyes is exactly what he is trying to forget. Everybody Burns is a story about two men falling in love. Except, one doesn’t think he is capable of it and the other doesn’t think he deserves it.
This was a strange story with Eli so focused on revenge, loathing himself and believing that he is incapable of loving anyone. Daniel in comparison was a gentle soul who did everything he could to care for and respect Eli while just offering comfort as he thought he didn't deserve love from anyone. I loved how love crept up on them both at different speeds. Lots of danger and drama in places and a lot of analysis of feelings and past abuse. This was easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content.
