Whaley- My life has been a series of one nightmare after another. Every day is a fight to be stronger as I try to outrun the past that refuses to give me peace. Somehow, I managed to keep myself under control... Until Bunky messed it all up. His soul screams to mine in a way that awakens every part of me, even the parts I’ve tried to keep buried. We’re a jagged fit, a match made in Hell, but I can’t have him because together we’d burn the world to the ground. Bunky doesn’t see that. He’d rather fuel the toxic fire of obsession than give up, and I don’t know how much longer I can hold out before I cave to the demon that everyone should fear. Including him. Bunky- I’m not what most people would consider normal. Everything in my life is touched by darkness and shaped by my past. Living life constantly on the brink of being swallowed up by the monster that wants to consume me is exhausting, so I drowned myself in vices to try and smother the memories. Until I realized all I needed was my missing piece. Whaley flipped a switch in my brain, making me see he was meant to be mine, but he's not letting us be together like we were made to. He’s too worried we'll destroy everything in our path if we give in to the connection that tethers us together. Good thing I have no problem watching the world burn if it means I get him. ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪꜱ ᴀɴ ᴀɢᴇ-ɢᴀᴘ, ᴅᴀʀᴋ ᴏʙꜱᴇꜱꜱɪᴠᴇ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴄᴇɴᴛᴇʀꜱ ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴀ ɢᴜᴀʀᴅᴇᴅ ᴍᴀɴ ᴀɴᴅ ʜɪꜱ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ᴘꜱʏᴄʜᴏ. ᴍɪx ɪɴ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏxɪᴄ ᴠɪʙᴇꜱ, ʟᴏᴏᴍɪɴɢ ᴘᴀꜱᴛꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ɪᴛᴄʜɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍᴏʀᴇ.

    I have read Hateful Love which is the first book in the King of Aces series and I really loved Silas and Blaine’s story but I was more excited to read Whaley and Bunky’s book.

    Whaley and Bunky is the type of relationship that matches each other’s freak, literally. They are the perfect match for each other.

    Whaley and Bunky is my favorite couple in the series so far. Whaley and Bunky’s relation is different from the rest. They both have demons they are hiding, they are both equally insane and unhinged but they are both possessive over each other.
    I really think the authors did amazing with writing a dark romance for Whaley and Bunky. They both have been through so much trauma that they understand each other the way their friends and family don’t understand them. At first people didn’t understand Whaley and Bunky together because of their age gap and their background story but people realized how much Whaley and Bunky needs each other. In the end everybody was accepting,

    I really loved reading about Whaley’s background story. He really interested me in Hateful Love and so had Bunky’s.

    This book was everything and definitely my favorite so far in the series. It’s dark, funny, emotional and a love so consuming that it will leave you wanting more.

    This book is really dark so make sure you check the trigger warnings. I am very excited to read book three which will be Raid and Landon’s story in the King of Aces series.
