The First Three Rules by Adrienne Wilder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was approached by a fellow blogger about this book series and asked if I wanted to read the series in exchange for an honest review. I didn’t know what to expect but when I heard M/M with supernatural elements and all high ratings thus far I figured I’d be crazy not to give it a shot.
I really, enjoyed this book. I give it a solid 4.5 Stars. It had some elements that were similar to other books that I have read, but other than that I couldn’t find one criticism to give about it. I loved the main characters. We have our rugged and downtrodden Jon who has given up on life. We have the unassuming, self-sacrificing, virginal Ellis. Last, but not least we have Ellis’s brother Rudy. I absolutely love him and the way that the author portrayed him. I think that not just having a character who has intellectual deficits is difficult but to have some of the story from his POV must be incredibly difficult without it coming off as stereotypical or offensive. I’m sure it will still feel that way to some people but you can’t make everyone happy.
The characters were very touching and the story was warm and heartfelt. It also had a nice large dose of smoking hot sex. I cannot wait to continue with this story and learn more about what is going on… especially with the supernatural elements!
