MY REVIEW
★★★★☆

Possession had me on the edge of my seat and I'm still waiting for my heart rate to slow down!

Grim's love for Tricks has me feeling touched. I didn't think there'd be time for my emotions to get involved with this dark read. This man, who never used to speak, says words that make me smile oh so sweetly.

"I need you, baby. You're my other half. I'm nothing without you. I'm yours." - Grim

I think the hood of Bedlam is aptly named. There is never a dull moment and neither Grim nor Tricks can catch a second of peace. And when they finally find a lull in the pandemonium that surrounds them, some other catastrophy occurs. Poor kids never get a break. However, together I think they really could conquer it all.

She makes me want to believe in things. In life. In humanity. In us. - Grim

This installment of the Perversion trilogy picks up right where the last one left off - Tricks is back in Marco's clutches and for a while, Grim has no idea of the trouble his girl is in. But when he figures it out, all hell breaks loose and it was glorious!

They can't keep me from Tricks. No one can. Not anymore. We're magnets always being pulled together. - Grim

I absolutely adore these kids. They've survived so much, are still having to survive so much, and yet they never give up the fight. While Grim is more of a soldier, willing to lay down his life to protect what's his, to lift up arms to battle against his enemies, and to literally fight to the death for his cause, Tricks is a bit more wily. I love how truly slick she is. I admire how cool she remains under pressure, using her wits and her guile to get what she wants. The author created two quite unique characters that both overwhelmed and humbled me.

I don't know how to adequately explain to you how much I'm looking forward to the conclusion to this story. I got a little glimpse and I have to admit that I'm a little scared. That bit made me know that I need to expect the unexpected, which I've come to expect from this author. I'm just hoping for a bit of happy. I think these two finally deserve it.

"Tricks, I'm in awe of you. You're amazing. You... you're fucking magic." - Grim

I feel like the special treat in this book was the appearance of a couple of characters that I've loved for years. Getting to see them, and having others mentioned in passing, made me feel like this story was a part of the continuum. It all links together somehow and I couldn't be happier. Knowing that Grim has such an amazing support system, especially during this time of impending war, gives me more hope for an amazing ending to this series. Not that I'm really worried... it's T.M. Frazier!
