Blurb

A dark, MM romance

Ezra Hamilton hasn’t felt the warm spurt of blood flow through his fingers or the indescribable feeling of pushing a knife deep into someone’s flesh in a long time. Too long.

He’s been watching a man stalk women, curious as to what he’s doing with them. Ezra’s never encountered someone with similar dark tendencies before, and what starts off as genuine curiosity turns into much more when Kaspian turns the tables on him.

As their chemistry builds, so does the mistrust. They both know they can’t trust a killer, but their inner demons call to each other anyway.

When Kaspian’s impulsivity threatens to ruin Ezra’s freedom, he knows he has to stop him. Kas appears to be fixated on Willow—a woman Ezra works with. In an effort to not have to worry about her disappearance bringing heat on him, he tracks Kaspian as Kaspian follows Willow into a cabin in the mountains.

There, in the middle of a blizzard, secrets will be revealed and revelations made, but the chances of everybody making it out alive are slim.

What to expect:

❥ Dual POV ❥ Dark MM Romance ❥ Psychopath x Sociopath
❥ Possessive MCs ❥ A bit of stalking and killing ❥ Spice ❥ HEA

Review

I was very surprised with this book, like very surprised. I recently received an ARC from Isabel Lucero, her upcoming book “Lights, Camera, Passion”, and it is such a sweet, low angst and swoony book, and then I read this… What a contrast!

Dysfunctional is a dark mm romance about a psychopath and a sociopath, Ezra and Kaspian. They’re both super messed up, obviously, and have some severe trust issues, but I guess it’s like the saying “the pot calling the kettle black”, because these guys do not trust each other at all, knowing what the other is capable of.

It was “fun” to see how they were functioning like “normal” people, while they were really far from that. Following their train of thoughts about how they felt about killing people, playing games with each other and how they “felt” about each other. Their possessiveness, the obsession, the want for each other to be their true selves, which just happens to be a coldblooded killer, but I mean, we all just want to find someone we can be ourselves with, right?

“I don’t believe in much,” he says. “But I believe you were made for me.”

I loved this book, and I read it in one go. I was totally rooting for two crazy killers all the way and I loved their happy ending ♥
