Hana Wilsei (7 KP) rated The Blackhouse in Books
Jan 10, 2018 (Updated Jan 19, 2018)
With this book, I felt like I gained an insight into Lewis and the human experience. There isn't just one mystery to be solved, or one lie being told. May's characters are deep and full of surprises. Fin, the MC, must return to the land that was once home, but is also a source of distress, to solve the murder of a former classmate. I'm only 22, so my youth isn't haunting me yet, but Fin is still relatable and has my heart.

The MCs of this book are simply not as likably as Fin MacLeod of The Lewis Trilogy. For most of this book, the MC (the one in 1st person) is unsure of who he is, though it seems obvious that he is related to another MC. As someone who experienced traumatic amnesia, I know that the character's amnesia is well done, but as a reader I didn't like it--it lasted too long. This was a good read, just not as thrilling as his other books.

This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited Library.
In this one Morgan has just buried his older brother, Jake, who was part of an MC. He was the only family that Morgan had left in the world and now so he focuses on his ballet with the help of his best friend, Nikki. Only Morgan arrives home to someone in his apartment and he struggles against the man. It turns out the man, Zeke, is from Jake's MC and is there to protect him from a rival biker club after Jake died with a female from the other MC. Zeke is drawn to Morgan and vice versa so it's not long before sparks are flying, though Zeke is adamant he's straight.
This definitely felt like a gay-for-you story. Zeke wasn't attracted to any other guys really, though in the end he settled on himself being bisexual. He's the strong silent type and completely opposite to ballerino - Italian for male ballerina - Morgan. They do have an intense attraction for each other and it takes a while for anything to happen but once it does, it quickly turns into more than physical attraction. Opposites attract and all that.
I'm intrigued by some of the other MC members like Blaze and what's going to happen between Dante and Swish.
Speaking of the MC, we didn't really see much of that side of the story. Most of the time Zeke was working on cars in the garage or the guys were settling down to meals together. We know the MC run a business out back that films their own pornography but that's about it. And we had that short bit at the start involving the Hedonist's rivals wanting to hurt Morgan in retaliation for the death of one of theirs but that was it.
That end bit with Morgan's stalker was a bit strange, if you ask me. I wasn't expecting it to take that turn or be that person and it threw me a little but it all worked out in the end due to Morgan's quick thinking
As mentioned above I do think I'll look up this series in the future to see what happens with Dante and Swish and Blaze with his questions on gay sex etc.

Quick fun read
Completed in one day
This was a nice take on an enemy to lovers scenario that had a few twists that broke your typical ya vibes.
I loved the fact there was no slut shamming and the lgbtq+ aspects that were brought in
I could really appreciate the mc coming to terms with trying to figure out what she wants in a relationship and to me this had good insight to what transitions people go through leaving high school and entering college.
As much as this was a romanced based book I kind of felt that the last two chapters were very flat and somewhat unnecessary.
I think if they had left the mcs as they were prior to the last two chapters I would have been a bit more satisfied.
I think if we could have seen the mc grow without the love interest would have made it a bit more unique
Or if the character development further progressed I may have thought differently about the two staying separate.
But this was still an amazing book on its own and I look forward to reading more in the series.
