About this listen

Atticus Mulvaney is the eldest son of eccentric billionaire, Thomas Mulvaney - a role he takes very seriously. Atticus takes everything seriously. Like his brothers, Atticus is a psychopath, raised to right the wrongs of a broken justice system. Unlike his brothers, he’s not very good at it.

Jericho Navarro is no psychopath, but he is a vicious killer. Like Atticus, he also has a secret life. To most, he’s just a mechanic. But to a ragtag group of social misfits, he’s Peter Pan, teaching them to eliminate those who prey on the weak with extreme prejudice.

When Atticus and Jericho come face to face over a shared enemy, their accidental meeting ends in an explosively hot hookup neither can forget. But they have nothing in common. Atticus is a buttoned-up closeted scientist and Jericho is a man on a mission, determined to find and punish those responsible for the death of his sister. Still, Jericho can’t stay away. And, truthfully, Atticus doesn’t want him to.

As Jericho’s mission begins to bleed into Atticus’s life, two separate but equally brutal families will need to learn how to fight together to take out a common enemy. But no amount of brute force can show Jericho how to scale the walls of a psychopath’s heart. Can Jericho convince Atticus that, sometimes, the couple who kills together stays together?

Moonstruck is a high heat, intense psychopath romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a fumbling, sexually confused maniac and the dominating, unapologetic gang leader who can’t stop tormenting him. As always, there’s gratuitous violence, very dark humor, more killers than you can count, and enough explosive chemistry to level a city block. This is book three in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.

About Thomas

The narrator was excellent as usual! He really sells these characters and their relationships.

OK, so, long notes ahead:

There are two ways I view Thomas. I either trick myself into buying his eugenicist God complex that led him into compiling a group of abused neuro-divergent children to groom into murderers so I can somehow like him a little. Or I see him as a hypocrite who should be on his own list. This book let me breathe a little because I'm glad to have Jericho as my representative for the second camp of thinking (I thought that would be Aidan but, well, lol).

I actually laughed when Thomas tried to compare his self and situation to Jericho's. A machiavellian billionaire conducting an experiment is totally not the same thing as a desperate queer Hood kid taking in other desperate queer Hood kids. Please.

I like the fantasy of the draconian vigilante sometimes, or I wouldn't be listening, and these books do a great job of getting into how our world can be dark and broken beyond repair (when it focuses on systems of pain and exploitation). However I do kinda view Thomas' children as victims of that too so there is a disconnect when the narrative is trying to tell me how righteous and Romantic Hero worthy he is.

Anyway, this is just me saying I'm thankful for Jericho. I loved the subtle mental pushback against Thomas in Asa's book too. That 'children usually grow up, think for themselves, and stop living their parents lives' vibes Asa was giving off. I don't think Asa likes Thomas that much either so I'm also grateful for him. Actually Asa and Zane may be tied with August and Lucas for my favs, but Jericho and his tightly wound fussball were pretty cute too.

A great palette cleanser

I love this series and it’s my go to listen when I’ve had a few bad audios on a row and need to cleanse my palette so to speak. This is my favourite of the series, I love Liam’s narration and how Jericho says Freckles. I really enjoy that unlike Noah & Lucas who are protected by their men, Jericho is a tough guy in his own rights and wants to look after Atticus even though he has his own bad stuff to deal.
Jerichos conversations with Thomas and his perspective on who Atticus really is and whether he’s truly a psychopath are interesting also.
If you haven’t listened to this book - do it now!

ahhhh freckles

moonstruck by onley james. atticus is the oldest child and he has put so much stress on himself to be perfect. but even though he is a unaliver he doesn't enjoy it as much of his brothers. Jericho loves life loves unaliving and loves atticus and doesn't mind picking up the slack instead.

The Atticus story is one of my favourites.

I love this story and this series so much. I have only one small criticism of the narrator and that is his pronunciation of one of the lead characters, Jericho changed throughout the book. I found that distracting. Otherwise I loved everything.

Jericho is definitely a fave!

Moonstruck is book three in the Necessary Evils series. An MM romance series that follows the seven psychopath Mulvaney brothers and the seven men they want to protect.

Atticus is the eldest son of the Mulvaney's but he doesn't feel part of the family. He takes everything seriously but isn't the best at the family trade, killing.

Jericho is no psychopath but he's definitely a killer. The vicious type. On the outside he's just a mechanic, but to the boys that call his shop home he's Peter Pan.

I have to say Jericho is my favourite of the boys partners so far. He fits into the family so well and blends with Atticus' psychopathy so well. Seeing beneath the outer shell of 'everything needs to be done a certain way' to the boy that doesn't feel wanted.

Their story really does open up more to come within the series. With Felix and Avi. But also the interactions between the brothers when they're all together. We also see a completely different side to Thomas in this book

Sexy and romantic

I was kinda lukewarm when I read this on kindle but listening to it just made it so much better.
