Publisher's summary

Arseny Lebedev lives a normal life. During the day, he’s a mechanic. At night, he livestreams a fairy tale video game called Paladin. And sometimes—only sometimes—he kills people. But they all deserve it.

Ever doesn’t know his last name. He doesn’t know much of anything. Most of his life has been torture, bought and sold by a woman who calls herself his mother. He’s resigned himself to a life of servitude, until he meets Arsen.

The moment Arsen sees Ever, they’re bonded. Ever is both fragile and feral, willing to defend himself with any tool at his disposal, even teeth. Arsen is color and light, a beacon in Ever’s darkness, as brave as the knight in the game he plays.

Arsen protects Ever fiercely, but just when he feels safe, someone attempts to drag him back to his old life, reminding him that reality isn’t fairy tales or video games. He knows staying puts Arsen in danger. But Arsen insists they’re safer together. Can Ever truly have his happily ever after or is it game over?

Paladin is a hurt-comfort, dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a vigilante twitch-streamer and the beautiful but feral gremlin he saves from a life of misery. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence against people who totally deserve it. This is book 1 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.

Onley + Liam = Perfection

There maybe spoilers.

It is great to see the Murder Muppets as something other then background. One thing Liam does so well is using his voice yo give each character a distint personality. It was very evident in the group chat scene. Sometimes his Russian accent sounded a little off but not enough to take you out the story.

I like the pace of the story. Onley always acknowledges that yes it maybe quick, toxic, and maybe unhealthy but everyone is OK with it.
The only issue I have is the background bad guy story. It seemed a little rushed and to me didn't really add to the story.

Yay!

I'm so happy the story didn't end with the Mulvaney clan. Can't wait for the next book. Wish there was some Calliope sass in there.

I was nervous for the accent but it was done decently. I always love Liam’s narrations.

LOVE

Paladin has honestly been my favorite book by OJ so far and it’s absolutely a comfort read. So, when I heard it was coming out on audio? The way I RAN.
It’s so good. SO. Sooooo good.

Loved

I absolutely loved this book I’m so glad we are getting more of the Necessary Evil characters, and we get a better look at the boys. I can’t wait for the next book to come out 😊

Perfection… again

Onley Onley Onley, honestly she can’t do no wrong in my eyes. Her books and characters are perfection. I crave each and every one and enjoy them immensely time and time again. We finally start with her Jericho’s Boys series and WHAT A DELIGHT! We get a ton of time with our Murder Muppets, we get Jericho and Atticus -my favorite couple ever *swoon*- AND Felix along with his men. And then, apart from this, Arsen and Ever were perfect! I love them so much. Arsen is so sweet and simply good, completely devoted to Ever. And Ever is literally a marshmallow in human form and I want to cuddle and protect him forever and ever -hehe see what I did there?-. Heartbreaking backstory, gorgeous recovery, tantalizing and sweet moments. It was simply spectacular. Cannot wait for what’s to come!
