Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Us, Daddy by Lance Lansdale
5.0
5 stars
Lance Lansdale has the ability to write about ove the top characters, ridiculous situations and unhingend stories that'll make you laugh a lot, but also cry ugly tears.
It happened with the Bens' story too: under all that mischievous cuteness there were two broken boys who survided not only a difficult childhood, but also the abuse of a horrible partner.
Benji and Bennet are joined to the hip, they love each other very much, but until the end of their relationship with Nito, they never thought they could be more.
I liked how Benji was cute and fierce, while Ben was more reserved and less impulsive.
Nate is great too: I loveed his obliviousness about the Bens' intentions and his own sexuality, his strong need to protect and take care of his boys, his firm and resolute personality, despite having a low self esteem.
I also liked how Nate and his son's realtionship evolved: after being left by Tatum first and by his own wife later, Nate was resigned to be alone and when Benji and Bennet showed him how all of them could be good together, he finally started taking care of himself and his own needs too. Tatum had to accept that he was not the centre of his father's life anymore.
I really really like that Nate was very upfront about his relationship with the Bens and never allowed anyone to overstep.
I hope we'll have agent Meadows' story too, beacuse he's very intriguing.
Definitely recommended.
