Holy crap, what did I just read?! OK. I'm going to start off with that this book needs ALL the trigger warnings. Don't take it lightly at all. I'll be honest and say that I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this book because of the content. And with this being my first read from Alex Grayson, she did an absolutely fantastic job with weaving this dark, twisty, disturbing tale with a bit of romance. I definitely loved the romance part of this book, but everything else was a little bit much for me to handle.

When I was reading up about this book, I thought it was a paranormal, but boy was I wrong. I wasn't exactly on board with Trouble's character and it was everything that was going through his mind that bothered me. It was a bit disturbing and perverted. But I did like how much he cared about Remi, she was definitely the light to his dark.

Sweet and strong, Remi. I will never understand what she had to go through, it's not an easy story to hear at all. But I admired her pursuit towards something better, but I bet she didn't imagine seeing herself in a town like Malus, Texas. A place where her story is something many of the townspeople can relate to, unfortunately.

This book did feel akin to the movie, The Boondock Saints, in the sense of what Trouble and his brothers do in their hometown. He and his brothers all have their own dark story, but this town and its past is one of the things that bonds them. This book is standalone, so his brothers will get their story in this series.

I'm sure I have the unpopular opinion when it comes to Trouble in Hell, but it all comes down the fact that I don't read these types of books often or at all. Yeah, I'll dive into dark romances, but then again this wasn't quite a dark romance. The love story was like many that I've read before and loved. It was all the other stuff behind Trouble, his brothers and the town that got to me. So, I won't be one that's going to shut this book down. I'm a fan of Grayson's writing, she seriously did an amazing job writing this story.

I'll definitely be giving her other books a try, but this series is not my cup of tea. Many did love this one, so it could definitely work for you!

This was totally me while reading this book...








My goodness, this book was hard to get through. If you have any triggers, it is a book you best take a pass on. If you want specifics feel free to message me. That warning aside, I pretty much LOVED everything about this book. I am going to leave things pretty vague as to not give too much of the story away, but the writing was excellent. It was perfectly paced. The plot was engaging. It was dark. It was twisted. It was bloody. It was heartbreaking. It was sickening. All wrapped up in a satisfying ending.





There was an excellent cast of secondary characters as well. I can't wait to read more about Emo, JW, and especially Judge since the dude has a sister-wife situation going on and I am curious to see where the author is going with that. Both the main characters were extremely likable as well. This book wasn't very spicy, but considering the situation Remi found herself in, that made perfect sense. Neither were virgins. There is a tiny drop of OW drama, which honestly seemed a bit pointless and the story would have been fine without it. That said, it was just a drop and not anything that would bother most people.

Not much left to say really. I loved it, and I can't wait to get my hands on JW's book next!
