Well this was a surprise and in the best of ways. Until now the only series I’ve liked by these authors was Jack Addison and that’s a 9 episode serial that is nothing like their usual style. For me to love this book makes me laugh because Scum was my first book by these authors and I hated it and swore off this series but I was always intrigued by Dex. He’s just one of those side characters I had to know more about and he didn’t disappoint me. He was so fucking dumb and yet I absolutely adored him. I just wanted to swaddle him in bubble wrap so that he would be safe from himself and others. Dex and Hammer just made sense together and I liked how they both understood and accepted each other’s crazy. This was so OTT and I just ate it up but I did have some issues with it too.
Hammer is being a kept in a makeshift prison cell on Frank’s property while his MC works out what to do with him due to a misunderstanding of sorts and Dex is there to guard him for a bit. Dex is a dumb horny himbo who has been in love with Hammer ever since he saw him take a sledgehammer to someone’s head earlier in the year and Hammer is able to trick him into letting him out. It was so dumb and just made me laugh at the absolute stupidity that is Dex. Hammer takes Dex hostage while he tries to find the evidence to prove his innocence. However, Dex is not a typical hostage because he’s captivated by Hammer and he’s just excited to be spending time with him.
”This guy was so fucking dumb. And yet… Hammer liked dumb. Dumb was kind of cute. You knew where you stood with dumb. Dumb and horny? Now that was a powder keg Hammer could see himself lighting.”
These two go on this adventure that gave me major ‘Tiger King’ vibes especially with the big cats and crazy people everywhere. I didn’t watch all of TK because watching all the tigers being mistreated absolutely disgusted me but the people associated with all of that could have fit seamlessly into this book. While they are on the run they stay with one of Hammer’s old friends, Cora. Even though I’m sure Cora was probably hot, all I could picture was Carole Baskin in her wild cat prints and the imagery just cracked me up. Like Carole, Cora had a lot of big cats on her property that just added to the OTTness of this book. Cora also has a BDSM lifestyle and had wild sex parties that Dex and Hammer attended. While my preference is for my couples to be monogamous, I had no problem with the sharing that happens in this book during the parties. This is just one of those books that is so OTT that I couldn’t fault Dex for wanting to be used as a cum dumpster. He lives for sex so it just made sense he’d be into this kind of stuff and since the sharing was only done at the parties and there were clear rules in place, I was ok with it.
The thing dragging my rating down is the length. This book was 450 pages but it felt like it had 1000. I was on board with it for the first 70% but then there was a lot of added stuff that I just felt was unnecessary. The stuff with Hammer’s family should have been omitted from this story although his real name did make me laugh as did Dex’s complete lack of filter during dinner. I didn’t like that the hit was completely drawn out and there was a late stage conflict attached to it. I just felt like this whole last minute drama was not needed and I hated the pain it caused Dex. It just caused the book to drag and it’s why it took me days to finish it. I wish I could give half star ratings because this is definitely a 3.5 star book but since I loved the majority of this book I am going to give it 4 stars. I just really enjoyed both characters and this book made me laugh a lot despite its sometimes heavy subject matter.
