EDGE OF CONTROL

Stonewall Investigations: Midnight - Book One

by Max Walker

Release Date: December 27, 2024

Review

Do you like your men to have some questionable morals? Like to wonder how they could possibly find a happy ending when an investigator falls in love with the very killer he’s chasing? 


M. Walker keeps us on edge almost to the end while also making us fall in love with both of them and desperately trying to figure out how they could possibly make it all work.  


Theo is an especially dark serial killer - but you understand him all the same. You should want to hate him…


Jace is a lovely guy, though a little lost. Searching for his new path in life after some devastating losses and struggling with some mental health issues. Finding love helps heal some hurts, while also bringing it’s own complications.


Thankfully these two find a way to have a future together and I believe it will be a happy one (and hopefully murder free!).

Synopsis

Jace Holloway is the newest detective at Stonewall Investigations-NYC, and his first case has already consumed him. A serial killer dubbed "Nevermore" is terrorizing the city, leaving victims with black feathers embedded in their shoulders. But as Jace digs deeper, he uncovers a sinister blackmail ring targeting the rich and powerful—a trail that seems to intertwine with Nevermore’s deadly spree.

The investigation isn’t Jace's only obsession. Enter Theo Glass—tall, tattooed, and magnetic. Theo saves Jace’s life one moment and steals his breath the next during a chance encounter at a bathhouse. Their chemistry is raw, electric, and undeniable. But Theo is playing a dangerous game.

Because Theo is the very killer Jace is hunting. At first, Theo revels in the thrill of staying one step ahead, but as their connection deepens, the lines between hunter and hunted blur, pulling them both into a dark spiral of passion and obsession.

As Jace closes in on the truth, the final pieces of the puzzle force an impossible choice: Will Jace’s pursuit of justice and Theo’s desperate search for redemption destroy them—or bind them together forever?

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.
