Necessary Evils Vol. 1: Books 1-3
Books 1–3: Unhinged • Psycho • Moonstruck
Meet the Mulvaneys, seven unrepentant psychopaths raised by an eccentric billionaire to right the wrongs the justice system ignores. They feel no guilt, follow no rules, and love with obsessive devotion. This boxset includes the first three novels in the bestselling Necessary Evils series, packed with dark humor, blistering heat, vigilante justice, and unforgettable queer romance.
In Unhinged, spoiled golden boy Adam Mulvaney crosses paths with Noah Holt, a cinnamon-sweet survivor searching for answers about his past. Adam can’t love, but he can protect, and Noah becomes an obsession he refuses to let go.
In Psycho, brilliant and terrifying August Mulvaney collides with Lucas Blackwell, a disgraced clairvoyant who knows far too much. Lucas expects death when he uncovers August’s secret. Instead, August decides Lucas is his to fix, claim, and keep.
In Moonstruck, uptight scientist Atticus Mulvaney meets Jericho Navarro, a violent mechanic leading his own vigilante crew. Their explosive hook-up becomes the spark that forces two brutal families to work together and sets off a romance neither expected.
If you love queer found family, morally gray soulmates, chaotic vigilantes, dark humor, and dangerously devoted psychopaths, dive into the series BookTok can’t stop talking about. Three complete novels. No cliffhangers. High heat. Extremely unhinged.

James splits her time between writing m/m romance and mainlining dangerous levels of caffeine and attempting to maintain her ever-slipping sanity.
When not at her desk you can find her whining about how much writing she has to do while avoiding said writing by binge-watching unhealthy amounts of television and doom scrolling on social media. She loves true crime documentaries, anti-heroes, and writing kinky, snarky books about morally gray men who fall in love with other men.

I’ve read the individual books multiple times. I absolutely LOVE August (he’s my favorite), so it’s a no brainer that I’ll read the box set. Why not? Because I didn’t keep up with the dates I started, all three volumes will have the same dates AND review. 🤷🏽♀️
