This is not a typical m/m romance. This is on the bit of the dark side for sure. And you know me when it comes to my dark book I have to read them. I was really intrigued since it was a m/m also. I haven't read a m/m dark book yet. This is a first for me and will not be the last. Something about this book drew me too it and I bought it right away and started it that very night. When a title like The Darker Side of Trey Grey pops out, it catches my attention and I am very glad I picked it up.As I was saying this is not your typical m/m romance in anyway shape or form. Warning though this book includes Rape, Child Molestation, prostitution, among other things. Does it get pretty graphic? I would like to say at some parts yes it does. Did it make me want to stop reading it, hell no. When Trey Grey comes into a story he captures my entire attention on every page. He is very hard not to read even though 90% of the time I just wanted to hold him down and hug him to wash out all of his worries.I really, really, love this book deeply down to my breaking heart.Trey Grey, how do I even start to put this boy into words. Trey, he is a prostitute, this is all he knows. He is also a college student that suffers from severely OCD. He has been sexual abused since he was a kid. Has been prostituted out as a young boy by the very person who should be caring for him. Trey is so broken almost beyond repair. Almost! He is the one that breaks my heart through out he entire story while reading this. You just hurt for everything that he has ever been through.It's so hard not to fall in love with Trey. Living his life day by day with nightmare, reminders, OCD freak outs. It is almost like what else can happen to his poor guy. *HUGS TREY*One day at a restaurant he meets Justin. Trey feels a attraction for Justin but nothing serious at first. He has never been close to anyone and you can blame him for feeling this way. Trey and Justin head over to a house party and hit it off pretty well I might say so myself.Not only does Trey have his own demons battling him every single day, so does Justin. Justin has his own battles, history, mental illness. These two are so messed up that they are perfect for each other really. It seems like they are just a disaster waiting to explode and trust me it does. The things they both go through to be together is unreal. I really does make me what to hug them both tightly and fight off all their battles for them.Given these two characters they are perfect in their own way and makes me love them even more. God, I love this book. The author did a amazing job writing this book. This is in Trey's POV only. There will be a sequel from what I seen on the authors page suppose to be released this year. Fingers cross.After reading this book I am anxiously waiting for what is to come with Trey and Justin. I need to know what is going to happen next. There are so many things that were left unanswered, so many details that I need to know and find out. I just have to have the next book. So, yes I will be stalking the authors blog waiting to see what she is going to do with these two. It's hard seating here thinking about it when I need the book now. UGH! That is a good UGH. I just want the next book. I would highly recommend this to those that like m/m and like it on the dark side.
