My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Reed Olsson made an unforgivable mistake - he stole from the Killough Company and as a result, suffered severe consequences. He’s tortured within an inch of his life, and he expects death, but instead, he’s given a second chance. The only downside is that he’s handed over to Oisín, a twisted thief with a death wish. Now Reed has a chance to escape, but to do that, he must bide his time and play the game. Oisín Kelly can’t stand boredom. He lives on the edge of danger every day and it’s always difficult to find a man who can keep up, but then he sees Reed under the torturous hand of a Company man. Oisín wants him. Reed’s a beast keeps Oisín on his toes, and he’s fun for now. Their relationship is push and pull, and neither expects the satisfying thrill of being around each other. Reed has been burned too many times, and Oisín expects Reed to falter under his chaotic demands. Instead, they find a comfortable balance that makes them question what they have. When Oisín drags Reed out on an assignment as his backup, will Reed run or will he stay to fight alongside Oisín?
This was a very dark book so please read any trigger warnings. I tried to understand Oisín but soon realised that he gets off on the thrill and the danger and that for most of this book, he has nothing in his life but pleasure. Reed is complex but there is more insight into him as the book progresses. There are a lot of thoughts, feelings and emotions in this story but I feel as if they could have been much deeper, especially for Oisín. This is an MM story with mature content and a lot of violence.
