"He was the sunshine while I was the shadow. No amount of darkness seemed to dull him throughout the years, not even with the death of his husband." - Sid

"Who would ever believe this criminal, this k!ller could be tender and gentle? You’d never imagine such a man would want to hold and snuggle with his partner." - Dalton

I'm really glad that Sid and Dalton got their second chance. Sid bullied Dalton in high school and that was explained very early in the book, it really helped me see how much they care about each other, even 27 years later.

Sid explained what he's been through and his triggers. Dalton was aware of Sid's boundaries and was very respectful. Dalton trusted him enough to also explain why people are after him. Dalton had a hard time seeing Sid as a person, in the beginning. He mostly saw him as a k!ller while he's also a person. Sid saw Dalton's name in a file and went after him to protect him and Dalton's son Owen. I really enjoyed the moments between Easton and Sid. Sid really tried to show Easton that he will always have a part in Sid's life. I'm so excited to read more about Easton and his side of their connection, he is very loyal and protective in his own way.

I also loved that Sid gave Dalton a place to talk about his deceased husband, Matt. Matt will always be a part of Dalton. It's very thoughtful that he asked about him and gave Dalton that safe feeling to do that. Sid is just really sweet and loyal to the people he cares about. He did betray his family but he didn't see another way. This story takes place in a different setting then the other books and I liked that change. 

The District is a dark romance serie where queer people are hired to take out bad people, they make the world a little bit safer in their own way. Along the way they found their family in each other.

I received an ARC copy of this book
