TW: misrepresentation of mental illness, copaganda, drug use, graphic violence, mentions of child sexual abuse, anti-fatness. 

Meh.

The premise is bold. Like a mashup of Batman, Queer as Folk, and Dexter. Where Bruce Wayne was a wealthy scientist who decided to raise a bunch of orphans to be vigilante serial killers, who are all super hot gay white boys. While I did find the bickering among the “psycho” siblings to be funny. The rest of the story is slow, boring insta-love tragedy porn.

This has most of the big Dark Romances tropes including dubious consent, morality chain, heteronormative power dynamics. If someone’s looking for them with young conventionally attractive white gay boys this book delivers.

I on the other hand was bored and annoyed with the contradiction of subtext conservative politics in a book about queer characters. Bleh
