Psycho

“I work for an organization that eliminates dangerous people. People who slip through the cracks in our justice system.”

Lucas frowned. “You’re a genius, billionaire, crime-fighting vigilante? You’re…Batman?”

August grinned. “Exactly. You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m a good guy.”

“A good guy who tortures people and kills them?” Lucas deadpanned.

“Yes,” he said, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. (This scene had me cackling.) 

This series just keeps getting better and better 💯💯 I’ve only read the first two books and I already feel like I’m part of the Mulvaney family. Psycho focuses on the unlikely love story between August — a psychopathic professor who murders criminals in his spare time — and Lucas, an ex-FBI profiler turned professor who also happens to be clairvoyant 😯😯

When they meet, Lucas immediately sees the killer beneath August’s polished exterior. While Lucas is shocked to his core, my baby August is instantly smitten and already wondering how to date him 😂😂

“I don’t care that we barely know each other. It’s just you. You’re the one for me, and if I can’t have you, I’d rather not exist anymore.”

AUGUST MULVANEY. THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW 💘💘 But seriously—August was a perfect mix of adorable and terrifying, and I don’t know how that combination even works, but it does. By day, he’s a brilliant, well-respected professor. By night, he’s a cold-blooded killer who genuinely enjoys torturing his victims 😅😅 Like Adam in book one, August carefully observed Lucas, but he went further. He read books about relationships, studied love languages, and put a lot of effort into making Lucas feel safe and wanted. It was oddly heart-melting.

“If it comes down to random strangers or you, I’ll choose you every time. I’ll literally burn this world to ash before I let somebody hurt you. I don’t care who suffers because of it.”

Tell me that isn’t perfection. Also, let’s take a moment to appreciate what an amazing job Thomas Mulvaney did raising these psychopaths—because damn, he taught them how to treat people right.

Lucas was just as perfect as August 😍😍 Calm, reasonable, lonely—he balanced August’s chaos beautifully. Even when August’s attempts at wooing him came off strange, Lucas always understood what he meant. The trust and passion between them was swoonworthy, and the way they truly saw and accepted each other left me speechless 🥰🥰

The Adam and Noah moments were GOLD 🤣🤣 I loved how the Mulvaneys decided Noah should be their “relationship coach” since he’s the only normal one among them 😎😎

“You’re not going to hurt the dogs, right?” Noah asked. “Right?” he repeated at their silence. He turned to glare at his fiancé. “Adam Mulvaney, if you hurt a dog, don’t bother coming home.”

Lucas felt some level of amusement at the way Adam’s jaw dropped. “I—Wha—We don’t even know there are dogs!”

I know I mostly gushed about the romance, but just like in the first book, there’s also a crime investigation side plot that keeps the tension high 🔥🔥

If you’re new to my reviews, thanks for sticking with me—I know I can’t write short ones. But trust me when I say: this book was everything, and I hope you love it as much as I did 😊😊
