Summary
Serial killers think if it all goes south and they finally get caught, that their swan song is a day in court, making the families relive the agony while they get off on that delicious pain, all over again.
Not happening. Not anymore. We’re not making celebrities out of monsters. We’re not giving them a stage to strut on.
Now they get an audience of two.
One to Handle the problem, one to Witness it.
I’m a Witness. I trained for six years to do my duty, to manage my contracted killer, and to watch justice be done.
I knew it would be hard, the first time, to watch the eye for an eye moment.
I expected to feel a lot of things - fear, disgust, guilt.
I didn’t expect to feel turned on.
And I didn’t expect my contracted killer to look quite so pretty with blood on his hands.
HANDLED is a dark gay romance with themes of justice, retribution, and unsuitable love. It is not for the faint of heart, and contains graphic scenes intended for an adult audience. Further trigger warnings inside.

An absorbing dark m/m romance!
I loved the premise of this! The US Govt has a controversial program employing psychopaths (handlers) to exterminate serial killers in front of a trained witness. Gray is a handler with a reputation for being difficult to work with and rookie witness Nathan is both scared and drawn to him. In some ways this was like a Dexter police procedural with Gray investigating, convicting and executing. Despite the trigger warnings, I didn’t find the kill / sex scenes too squeamish and I would have loved more complex investigations with more heightened suspense. It’s debatable whether you could call Gray and Nathan’s growing closeness a romance given the inability of psychopaths to experience real emotion but I felt Romilly King got the balance right. The audio narrators, Gavin McAllister (as Gray) and Liam DiCosimo (as Nathan) did a good job, although Liam’s youthful, dude voice was a little more upbeat than I expected for the book’s tone.

Great listen
Ooh, I loved this! Two new-to-me narrators, who to start with I wasn’t quite sure about but as the story progressed they became Gray and Nathan brilliantly (and did each other’s character justice too). The story was engaging and different, and this first instalment was enough of a book in its own right as well as setting up the next one. It starts off very dark, not sure it maintains that the whole way through but the way the romance is weaved in worked really well - with a surprisingly touching development of the relationship and what’s to come.
