Headcase by Onley James (Paperback)

Headcase is the fourth book in Onley James’s Necessary Evils series, a high-heat, intense dark MM romance.

Asa Mulvaney is one half of a psychopathic whole. He and his twin brother live together, party together and kill together. In the Mulvaney family, murder is the family business, and business is very good indeed. So when an experiment separates the twins, Asa is forced to navigate the world entirely on his own for the very first time.

Zane Scott is a small-time crime blogger with dreams of a byline in a major paper, and his suspicions about Thomas Mulvaney are about to make that dream a reality. But when an invitation to a dull fundraiser lands him beside not Thomas, as he’d hoped, but Asa, the two share an intensely passionate encounter that leaves Zane trapped in a cage of his own making.

When a cluster of suicides at a nearby college turns out to be something far more sinister, Asa’s father asks him to investigate, and Asa spots the perfect opportunity to bring his little crime reporter to heel. Zane is suspicious of Asa’s motives and half-convinced he’s a dead man either way, but he won’t pass up the chance to peek behind the Mulvaney curtain. As the two unravel a dark plot, Asa’s obsession only deepens.

Please note this is a dark read featuring gratuitous violence and very dark humour, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers. Perfect for readers who love a dark MM romance, a calculating obsessive psychopath and an ambitious hero in over his head.
