I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Alexander is still trying to come to terms with his luck of being able to live in usher's mansion. He is adjusting to a life of luxury he could only have dreamed of and even though he has chores to do and things to learn, the one thing he wants is Usher. But a decision to help a friend could spell the end to everything. Has Alexander gone too far or can he still salvage things and get what he wants more than anything.
I recommend any book with Leo Sparx on the cover.

Hot damn! Alexander has gotten himself in it now. This boy needs something...but is Usher what he wants?

Audiobook. 3.5⭐️ I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first, in saying that I will continue to listen.

I read this again a year later without book 1 (for Book Sirens), and needed to rewrite one for it, forgetting I had done one previously. I found it interesting the there wasn’t much difference between the two, just a bit less detail but same questions.

Alexander is living in a strange mansion owned by a man named Usher, Alexander’s Daddy, and Alex is his boy. There are two other boys in the house, former friends/acquaintances of Alexander’s, although he doesn’t have much contact with them unless it is allowed by Usher.
This is the second book in the series and a lot of background information is missing to grasp an understanding of how Alex got into the situation, is he a prisoner or able to leave if he chooses, and what is the dynamic between Alex and Usher, is Alex content or not? There are elements of BDSM in the relationship, and Usher seems to be absent much of the time.
I kept reading and had more questions than answers, but expect to have many of those questions answered in book 3.

I started this book directly after finishing the first one. Alexander is learning more about the mansion and Usher, and he has two friends in the house now, although he seldom sees them. He still has questions about Usher, what does he want from the boys, why them (other than being very hairy), and why is that important. What is the significance of some pictures Roderick shows him, and what about the paintings? There still aren’t any answers yet as Alex tries to behave in a way Usher expects, but Alex can’t always deliver. More questions, speculations and theories. Hoping to get solutions in book 3, because I want MY questions answered. Good reads so far.
