Rating: 4.5🌈 Play Dirty, the second book in the Wages of Sin series by Onley James and Neve Wilder, is the story I thought I was going to get when I initially dived into this series about a group of contract killers.

Review: Mad Man (Necessary Evil #5) by Onley James

Rating: 4.75🌈 “She couldn’t see the bigger picture. She looked at the twins and saw a problem. Thomas saw an opportunity. A divine creation. He was raising a legion of psychopaths.” — Mad Man (Necessary Evils Book 5) by Onley James Mad Man (Necessary Evil #5) by Onley James is Avi Mulvaney’s story, the other… Continue reading Review: Mad Man (Necessary Evil #5) by Onley James

Review: Headcase (Necessary Evil #4) by Onley James

Rating: 4.25 ““Mirror twins,” Dr. Rice corrected. “Each one the perfect mirror image of the other, right down to their birthmarks.” The two weren’t speaking out loud, but they would smile and laugh in tandem, as if one had told the other a joke. Even though they didn’t look at each other,” — Headcase (Necessary… Continue reading Review: Headcase (Necessary Evil #4) by Onley James

Review: Moonstruck (Necessary Evil #3) by Onley James

Rating: 5🌈 Moonstruck, the third in Olney James’ extraordinary series about a family of adopted psychopathic children turned into retributive killers under the guidance of the man who raised them, albeit as a loving research project. “…that psychopaths weren’t a plague on society but a gift, an evolutionary tool that could be harnessed to cull… Continue reading Review: Moonstruck (Necessary Evil #3) by Onley James

Review: Psycho (Necessary Evil #2) by Onley James

Rating:5🌈 I wondered who the author would choose as the murderous sibling to go next in the series and was thrilled to see it was August Mulvaney. August was a standout in Adam’s story. His love of the “wet work” side of killing, his knives, adult Harry Potter like features, and an IQ on par… Continue reading Review: Psycho (Necessary Evil #2) by Onley James

Review: Unhinged (Necessary Evil #1) by Onley James

Rating: 5🌈 Lately, I felt I wanted another sort of story to read, and possibly, another author to hoard. Found it in the dark, contemporary fiction, Unhinged (Necessary Evil #1) by Onley James . Exactly the changeup I was looking for. Gritty, dark, this series and stories revolve around a group of children traumatized so… Continue reading Review: Unhinged (Necessary Evil #1) by Onley James

A BJ Review: Stealing Innocents by Cari Waites aka Lisa Henry

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 Those who dare to scratch the surface of ordinary, everyday life may be horrified to find a sick underbelly beneath—a nightmare world populated by villains and victims, predators and prey, where the rules of society no longer apply. Where you’ll find people like Danny, the boy who sells… Continue reading A BJ Review: Stealing Innocents by Cari Waites aka Lisa Henry

A Stella Review: Of Gods and Monsters: Hades (Of Gods and Monsters #2) by Wulf Francu Godgluck

RATING 5 out of 5 stars ★★★★★ ******WARNING******* This is not a story about a hero, or some bad boy-badass-antihero. This is a love story between two monstrous villains and one valiant kid, held together by their entwined heartstrings. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be pleasant. There’s no fluffy good… Continue reading A Stella Review: Of Gods and Monsters: Hades (Of Gods and Monsters #2) by Wulf Francu Godgluck
