__________
Years after the bombs of WWIII have changed the physical and political landscape, the Agency ruthlessly works behind the scenes to take down rebel groups that threaten the current government. Their goals justify all means. Hsin Liu Vega (Sin) is their most efficient and deadly assassin ever. However, he tends to go off on unauthorized killing sprees and somehow his assigned partners all end up dead under suspicious circumstances. That is why the Agency has had him locked up in a box on the fourth floor for years. But now they think it is time to put the psychopath back in the field. With a new partner.
Boyd's mother, a high ranking Agency official, volunteers her teenage son for the position. Boyd is not afraid of death. In fact, his life has been such an endless cycle of apathy and despair for the last few years that he'd welcome it.
Can these two broken men form an efficient partnership? Can they learn to trust anyone, let alone each other? Sin doesn't give a fuck about the Agency, or the androgynous boy who holds the remote to the shock collar that is supposed to control him.
On the other hand, Boyd is strangely unafraid of the man everyone calls 'monster' and Sin seems reluctant to let his keeper get himself killed on any missions. Yet.

WOW. I am blown away by this book. It sucked me in right from the beginning and kept me hooked, and now I'm chomping at the bit to start the next one! For me, a 5 star book is one that makes me fall in love with the main characters, one that takes me past being entertained and turns it into a truly emotional experience. Evenfall achieved that multiple times throughout the book, and on two occasions grabbed hold of my heart and squeezed for all it was worth! There were a few bits that were slightly boring, but I can easily forgive those in exchange for the intrigue, lust, heartache, love, fear, happiness, panic, and awe that I felt the rest of the time. This is my all-time favorite m/m fiction to date.
