Our Blood, Our Pain by Syn Blackrose
medium-paced
5.0
Looking for another dark romance with unhinged alphaholes? 👀 Syn Blackrose brings more Kozlov madness & a hint of forbidden with Our Blood Our Pain. It comes out tomorrow, so jot that down.
Kai is struggling where he is. He's in with a bad crowd and is constantly being arrested and getting in trouble. He ends up being taken by his ✨️step-uncle✨️ Jules to a different city & a job in "security". Jules works for the Kozlov brothers doing mafia adjacent shit.
It's obvious from the get-go that Kai isn't made for a job like this, but he and Jules' chemistry is seconds away from igniting a forest fire. There's a lot of steamy looks, backsassing, bratting, flirting, choking ... it goes on and on. They finally give in, and it's punches and biting and lots of dirty talking.
There's side-plots happening the entire time, but the draw is when Jules gives in and goes feral alpha. If you're looking for ✨️touch him and die✨️ and what amounts to gay-for-you that takes place in a darker world with violence kink all around - Syn Blackrose LITERALLY WROTE THESE BOOKS FOR YOU.
As always, the Kozlov brothers are unhinged delights, and their partners are pot-stirring like crazy. Jules was entertaining in a growly way, and Ivan seems like an MC I can't wait to read more of. I could have done without Kai's mom. Jenny was shrill and whiny, and I HATED her every time she popped up - which sucks cause I always want to be a girls girl - but she was the absolute worst.
OUR BLOOD OUR PAIN is out tomorrow. I absolutely recommend reading all of the books. They're delightfully dark, and Our Blood Our Pain fits right in with them.
"Trust me, Kai. Jules is the same as the brothers. Their love language and foreplay is asshole possessiveness, with a hint of violence if anyone tries to touch you. I guarantee, Jules would fuck up anyone who got near you."
"He's straight." "So was I, and look at me now."
*had me LOLing something fierce*
