Description
Ward offers more than a single night when he and Jacob get together; he offers a world Jacob only reads about in true crime books – a world of shadows, secrets and justice. It should send Jacob running, but instead, it ignites something buried deep within him.
Now, two years later, Jacob stands by Ward’s side, a partner in the darkness. Together, they navigate a morally grey landscape, meting out their own brand of justice to those who deserve it. Jacob is no longer the fall guy; he is Ward’s, ready to embrace the very shadows that stalked him with the man who showed him the light.
Their bond is unconventional, forged in secrets and bound by a connection they are both just understanding. It’s a dark journey, but they are just beginning and will forever be stronger together.
This is a dark MM romance.
Please heed the trigger warnings.

Two years later, Ward and Jacob are trying to balance their shared new reality. Jacob is still struggling with what has happened and what WILL happen as he sinks deeper into Ward’s world. By the end of part two it feels like he has not only accepted his new circumstances but has developed a little pride in being able to help Ward accomplish his goals. They are now their goals together as a team and they’re truly stronger together. Not your typical dark romance and very thought provoking.

3.75 stars. This pretty much picks up where book one ended but didn’t have quite the same feel to it for me. Idk, maybe it’s just me 🤷♀️ Definitely needs to be read after part one.
