There is a lot of good m/m out there. Most are contemporary romances, but there has been a large increase in paranormal romances too. Most m/m readers want HEA stories and that is what the market caters too. I enjoy a good HEA but I also like stories that go to dark places and have a supernatural twist, and that is a lot harder to find. Lucky for me Adrienne Wilder's books fill that need.This is an emotionally intense roller-coaster of a ride. Be warned, the sex scenes fall into the erotic category.This three book series features a strong romance between Ellis and Jon. There is also an amazing and touching relationship between Ellis and his mentally disabled brother Rudy. Rudy is a main character and his disability is beautifully and respectfully portrayed. Ellis has spent his life protecting Rudy from the outside world, but in an unexpected twist you learn it has always been the other way around.The story goes to some dark places with our heroes (Ellis, Jon, Rudy) and you will have your heart removed and stomped on (in the good way) before it is over.Another great thing about this story (all three books) is price. I have always found m/m stories to be over priced compared to other genres and they rarely go on sale. But Wilder has priced each book at the same price as most self published ebooks.I have read all three books and have used this same review for all three since it is technically one story divided into three parts. Book two is where things fall apart for our heroes Ellis, Jon and Rudy. The evil force working in this town has dug its claws in and hard choices have to be made, but don't worry the love between Ellis and Jon is tested, but it is strong.*I received a copy of this from the author in exchange for an honest review
