This was so much fun! 
and it's already happening, I'm not able to use all my words properly, so bear with this blubbering mess of a review:

Dex had already some cameos in the previous books "Scum" and "Primal" so now it's his moment to shine like a diamond, because D!ckhead is his story and was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023 and it didn't disappoint :D 

Dex is a hidden Gem! I'm not the only person who thinks so, Hammer most definitely feels the same: 
It was as if he’d found an unpolished diamond in a bucket of coal and was now worried about the implications of this unexpected luck. 

Dex is sunshine personified, and while he is in fact extraordinarily dumb he's also quite unafraid to dive in every challenge head first! Seriously, it all started with him wanting to give head...So every once in a while he has some amazing moments where he's able to shine, even if it's just a shiner. My heart simply melted away bc he's this adorable level of dumb that I could laugh, cry and cuddle him all the time. There might've been some second hand embarrassment moment too, but well...I love it! 

The online test jumped to results, informing him that he was forty-six percent gay.
Hammer was next-level! 
I loved to see how his bi-awakening turned out, it was so much fun to read those elements while this wasn't the main plot, I always dig it if the awakening is not just a "two liner" and then "just roll with it" ... I loved to follow Hammers thought process in this matter. 
But also following all of Hammers thoughts was like a field day in a candy store! 
I loved his morbid fantasy his fascination but also is struggles to connect with ppl in general.
He was a lone wolf amongst wolves.

I thought this dark thing inside of me was something meant for me to experience on my own, but now I can share it with you.

Their relationship is something unique:
I loved how Hammer and Dex were able to connect with each other, they're both hadn't had it easy in finding a person who really clicks with them. Until they accidentally found each other. 
Their love is the gory-morbid kind of murderhusband cute and I couldn't get enough of them! 

So no wonder that D!ckhead was a binger for me. 

I want to point out, that K.A. Merikan are one of my favorite author duo.
They write this tarantino-ish kind of dark(humor) and mix it perfectly up with hot, hot fun and swoony romance. 
It's 100% my jam! 
The characters are always multilayered, and surprise and entertain me all the time with their quirks, habits or morally ambiguous and sometimes slightly questionable world views. 
And I love that there's no "predictability" in neither characters nor plot lines. 
For me personally it's a page turner, a binger, a fun time to read&relax with and I can say that they always spark an extensive amount of joy! 
My crazy clicks with this kind of crazy

Note: I got an ARC-ebook in exchange for an honest review and this is my unbiased opinion.
