He escaped his killer. Now he's walking straight back into his arms.Ezra has been broken since the night he escaped the Riverside Ripper—chasing his trauma through dangerous hookups and dark alleys, trying to feel alive again. Nothing works. No one's enough.
Because deep down, he knows what he really wants.
The man who almost killed him.
When Ezra finds the Ripper again, he should call the FBI. Should run. Should do anything except what he does.
This time, Ezra won't be a victim.
YOUR DEVOTED MONSTER is a fucked-up spicy M/M serial killer/survivor novella, starring knife play, breath play, blood play, and two psychopaths finding their perfect match. This is a standalone dark romance with a HEA (if by HEA you mean mutual obsession and murder).
Dark n naughty… It was ok… Ezra getting off from his weiner being stepped on made me giggle, but pain kink isn't really my thing. Also, it was pretty gross Gabriel put his bare dick in Erza when he still had another random dudes cum in him …
" it was the slickness that made something dark howl in Gabriel's chest—Ezra was still wet with another man's come, some random hookup's claim still inside him."
First of all - WHO is the guy on the cover?????? 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Jeez Louise!!!!!!! If that’s Gabriel, he can come get me next. Okay, so the story - It was a novella, which is good for one thing - being a quick read. Other than that, I hate them. Too short and I need allllll the deets, alllllllll the time. However, I went to KU and searched ‘dark mm’ and this beauty came up. Who could say “no thanks” to the cover hottie, so obviously I couldn’t download it fast enough. Now, the story was crazy! Unhinged times several infinities. But, it was good!!! Go Ezra! Whatever floats your boat, get it! Especially since Gabriel no longer wanted to hurt him in the bad way, and seemed to be thoroughly enamored with Ezra, I see all green lights here. I of course jumped directly into that little bonus chapter, and, well, good riddance Professor. But, I also really liked Gabriel even more. Mr. Rivers … I will most definitely be looking further into your work! 😍😍
Ezra was to be Gabriel’s 6th victim but he escaped. Fast forward 3 years and Ezra is seeking anyone to make him feel the way Gabriel did. He felt alive when he was almost killed. Every hook up just isn’t what he is seeking. So he opens Grindr again and scrolls until he sees a new profile and he immediately knows it’s Gabriel. They exchange messages and then Ezra walks to where Gabriel is waiting for him.
This was a quick read. Not exactly what I was expecting but it was solid. Bit of blood, bit of dominating and degrading, bit of knowing you’ve found your person.
Excellent story but This is not a book that would appeal to everyone. Its super dark so if you decide to read be sure to look at the trigger warnings. Ezra is a victim of a serial killer who managed to survive. For 3 years he's trying to find someone who can match the forbidden feelings of that night. Until he discovers his would be killer has been stalking him
Well, Umm, a very dark, brooding tale, rather odd things that pulled me in, at first!. I read through most of it thinking I should stop, but I didn't until around 60%, that's when it got really deep with those sexual thrills like choking and , you know, stabbing. That's when I started skimming, I just needed to know how it ended. Most definitely not my thing.
