Deviant Need is the follow-up to Violent Devotion. This book is about Daniil and Mikhail. They're two of the Avrorin brothers. You'll get to learn more about Daniil and Mikhail's past and how their relationship turned romantic. Wow, I thought nothing could top Violent Devotion, but this one did. Danill and Mikhail's story was so heartbreaking. Both of them have dealt with so much. Their love was so beautiful. The book was quite dark, yet it still included humor. There were many moments that brought me to tears. Mikhail's family issues and his dad's pressure were really sad. It was really tough seeing everything Danill endured. It's great they had each other growing up, now that I know their backstory.
I enjoyed this book so much. The book hooked me from the start. You absolutely have to read this. I'm very excited about the release of book 3. Fans of Dark MM romances especially will enjoy this.
