Unhinged Cain and unhinged Kallie

Unhinged Cain by Brooklyn Cross

Blurb;

Kirby wished for a new life, but the Devil sent her Cain.

I knew what my calling in life was at a young age. I was the embodiment of death. The scent of blood and watching the life fade from something’s eyes was more delicious than any dessert. With my twin Abel by my side, we reveled in the pain of others and the knowledge that we were above it all. Not even the FBI could hunt us down.

The one thing I hadn’t accounted for was Kirby and the unusual spark of emotion she created. Being a psychopath, I knew my range of emotions had always been limited. Things like love, regret, and empathy eluded me. Yet I couldn’t stop stalking the woman that had piqued my interest.

But all decisions had consequences, and hunting Kirby wouldn’t just test my own rules. It would pull on the one bond I had, and Kirby was the hammer that might cause mine to splinter.

To the outside world, I had a life that most would say was privileged, but to me, it felt like the walls were caving in and trying to crush me with their rules of conformity. Little did I know that my life was about to change forever. One drive was all it took. One decision to turn down a wrong road, led to one heated glance that would catch the interest of the most notorious serial killer the FBI had ever chased.

Once I was in his grasp, my world turned on its axis, leaving me breathless and desiring things I could never have imagined. My mind became a war ground between my conscious and my growing passion for a man my heart should never want.

Would I be able to love him regardless of what he was, or would I end up on the wrong end of his blade?

Unhinged Kallie

Blurb

Carter tries to resist, but I'll make sure he is mine.

My father, Cain Buchanan, is my hero and one of the most notorious serial killers in the country. He was known as, The Chameleon. You might have heard of him.

Rules are for other people. They didn’t apply to me or my dad. I’d learned all about our family legacy at a young age. That didn’t bother me. But navigating who I was outside of our family farm was proving to be more difficult than I imagined.

Controlling my emotions was always an issue, especially where Carter Kohlmann was concerned. Everyone thought he was my brother, which made falling in love with him, stalking him, and ensuring he stayed mine…tricky.

So how did one learn to control their urges and desires? Maybe for someone like me, Kallie Buchanan, you never did.

At the age of two, my parents were killed in a car crash. That was how I ended up living with not one but five serial killers. That had to be a record. My goal in life was to keep my head down and not give Cain Buchanan any reason to end me. That included getting involved with his daughter Kallie, despite my ever growing feelings for her. So, instead I keep those fantasies locked up tight and only let them out when I’m alone at night.

But when an evil—that almost destroyed our family once—returns, it will take an alliance with the man I fear the most to ensure that the woman I love comes home. No one touches Kallie, but me.

People would call Kallie crazy, but I called her mine.

... Read moreOkay, fellow dark romance enthusiasts, I just stumbled upon these incredible blurbs for Brooklyn Cross's 'Unhinged Cain' and 'Unhinged Kallie,' and I'm absolutely buzzing! If you're like me and constantly searching for those intense, morally gray reads that leave you questioning everything, then you NEED to hear about these. First up, 'Unhinged Cain' immediately grabbed my attention. The idea of Kirby, a woman wishing for a new life, only to have fate (or the Devil, as the blurb says!) send her Cain, a bona fide psychopath and serial unaliver, is just chef's kiss for this genre. Seriously, the description of Cain revelling in the 'scent of blood' and being 'above it all' sets such a chilling tone. But then, Kirby sparks something in him, an emotion he can't comprehend. That's where the dark captive MF romance truly begins to simmer. I'm so intrigued by Kirby's internal struggle. Her mind becomes a 'war ground' between her conscience and this growing, undeniable passion for a man she should never want. It's not just physical captivation; it's a psychological one. Will she embrace the darkness, or will she end up on the wrong end of his blade? The tension is palpable even from just the blurb! For anyone searching for deep dives into characters like Kirby who find themselves entangled with truly dangerous men, this story promises a wild ride. It's definitely going to trigger some intense emotions, so be prepared for a journey into the primal depths of desire and danger. And just when you think it can't get any wilder, there's 'Unhinged Kallie'! This one blew my mind because it focuses on Cain's daughter, Kallie, who proudly follows in her father's footsteps as a 'Chameleon' serial unaliver. Talk about a family legacy! Kallie's struggle to navigate her own desires, especially for Carter Kohlmann, who everyone thinks is her step brother (sorta), adds another layer of forbidden intensity. The idea of her stalking him, ensuring he stays hers, while battling her own 'unhinged' urges is just fantastic. It really makes you wonder about nature versus nurture in these dark worlds. And Carter's side of the story? Living with not one, but five serial killers, and trying to keep his head down to avoid Cain's wrath, all while harboring growing feelings for Kallie – it’s pure, delicious angst! The protective instinct he develops when an old evil returns, proclaiming 'No one touches Kallie, but me,' confirms this isn't just about dark desire, but about fierce, possessive love. Both blurbs promise stories filled with blood-play (metaphorically and maybe literally!), primal instincts, and characters who absolutely ail the triggers for intense dark romance. Brooklyn Cross seems to be an expert at crafting narratives where the lines between love and obsession, good and evil, are completely blurred. If you're ready to explore worlds where the protagonists are unapologetically 'unhinged' and the romance is dangerously intoxicating, then these sound like your next obsession. I know I'm adding them to my TBR list immediately!
