Kill Me Sweetly (Saint Brothers Book 2) by Davidson King


The brothers are back at it again taking down despicable people, and rescuing children!


From the blurb:

Sometimes reality is the nightmare you must conquer.


JJ has a good life. One where he lives with the people he loves, gets to work in Saintly Sweets with his delicious boyfriend, and takes things a day at a time. Of course, that is until he comes across a broken boy so lost in a nightmare, he vows to do everything he can to help him wake from it.

There’s nothing Shepard Saint won’t do for his JJ. Even help him figure out how to save someone that may be lost to the darkness. He knows this won’t be easy, and the deeper they go, the harder it becomes to climb out.

Shep, JJ, and the rest of the Saint brothers find themselves knee deep in the worst of humanity as they try to save a lot more than they bargained for. Saving people is something Shep and JJ are born to do, but when the enemy tries to destroy everything they love, they almost lose themselves to the evils of the world. Can the love they have for each other be enough to make it out alive or have they finally met an enemy far too powerful?

Kill Me Sweetly is book 2 in my Saint Brothers series. It can be read on its own but if you’re one for order, Slay Ride is book 1.


Angel's review:

I love Shep and JJ! This was a different type of story from Davidson King. We start this story with Shep and JJ already bring an established couple, but that doesn't mean their book is lacking, quite the opposite. When JJ finds a young man standing lost in an alley, he knows he needs to help the boy. The more information Shep and JJ gathered from Four, the more they realized that the young man came from a horrific place... One that they need to take down.

I liked this story! I thought the characters were excellent, I absolutely adore the relationship Shep and JJ have with each other, they are adorable together and you can tell how much they care for one another. I also liked the baking component to this story, I love when an MC is a baker so this was just an awesome addition in my opinion. I also liked the bond all the brothers have with each other and how close they all are. Them putting things to a vote and checking in with each other I found to be really important and was a nice aspect to their dynamic.

The mystery surrounding where Four came from and who is really behind the Consortium was handled really well! I found the mystery element to be written excellently and was really intriguing! I was invested in figuring out not only where Four came from, but what his life was like at the horrific place he was kept in. I thought the way Davidson wrote about the Consortium was interesting and unique! There was multiple components these men had to plan for in order to take down the people behind turning kids into weapons, and I was invested from the beginning all the way to the end.

I hope that Four will be a part of future stories in this series as I'd love to learn more about him, and be able to see him grow and flourish now that he's not being trained to be a weapon. Overall, a really great book!!
