First off I actually give this book a 4.5/5 stars. Second off, I have read numerous books by L. Eveland and their books never disappoint. This one definitely makes it to the top of my favorites list.
Every book I’ve read by L. Eveland just seems to suck you in from the very beginning and makes it so you cannot put the book down without finding out what happens next. Body Count did not disappoint in that aspect. From the very first page, I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. To the point, I stayed up until 3 am trying to finish this book. Which is a problem when you have to be up at 5 to be at work by 6.
If you are a fan of Onley James’ series, Necessary Evils, then I definitely recommend this book. River reminded me very heavily of August and his relationship with Lucas. Both River and August meet their love interests and are deeply obsessed with them from the beginning, are aware of this, and just don’t care.
So, if you like a dark romance with a sociopath as the main character, a family of psychopaths, a love interest who just wants to move on but still gets sucked into it all, then this book is definitely for you.
If you are a person who just wants some MM romance, there is much of that in here, but please check trigger warnings which are easily found in the beginning of the book.
Happy reading!

I loved this! It was cute in its own crazy way. However, this has made me excited to read about Xion or Shepherd and his multiple personalities. I can’t wait!! Especially for one about Xion.

River is a sociopath who often gets bored and restless in life. When he happens to slum it for a drink in a dive bar and he sets his sights on a gorgeous red head who smells like scared rabbit and River is on the hunt. He’s found a new toy to play with and he’s excited, the fact that he is being guarded but 2 heavy set pigs is no obstacle for River. What River does not expect is for this redhead to intrigue and excite him past a short time, as time goes on, River becomes more obsessed and more fascinated by Theo…. But people have hurt Theo and River wants revenge on those who haunt his man when sleeping.
Theo is a victim. He has not known love or kindness his entire life. He has always been the punching bag for his ‘owners’ and a body to use for the customers. An evening just like any others, Theo standing next to a disgusting customer trying to disassociate and not think about where the evening is leading, when a gorgeous muscled man comes out of nowhere and announces that Theo or ‘Red’ as he calls him is now his, to own.
Theo is terrified, River may be gorgeous, but that means nothing if he’s just like all the rest of them. Theo finds kindness is an otherwise cold man, he found love.
Amazing book! Highly recommend.
