Kings of Lockdown... Chapter 22-25

 Im in the middle of chapter 25, 15:50

Chapter 23 ended with the stalker showing some of their hand. Im not sure who it is yet. But Im sticking with my  previous guesses. Maybe Kyans family put them up to it?

We've learned more about the unspeakables and their actual crimes (I thought maybe with Deep/throat that maybe the unspeakables were punished for crimes, but they seemed so pathetic). How can you think there were actual crimes when Tatum was punished for something she didnt do.
Its just a reminder the bad people know how to manipulate and pretend they arent bad

And now some Kyan-love. If Blake is a teddy bear, Kyan is the Rottweiler that will fight and attack others but also cuddles and is ridiculous with his family.

We learned more about Kyans story and my heart is aching! His family is Irish mafia-style evil

.... I think Kyan should have been on the cover of this story instead of Monroe for this book...

Kyan is so hopeless and so afraid to share. He wants love and is so terrified of it.

“Do you want me to save you, Kyan?”
“It’s too late for that... Even if some deluded part of me hungers for it, I know in my heart that there’s no redemption for me. I wasn’t born broken, but I’ve lived enough to get fucked up every which way until there’s so little light left in me it’s a wonder I can even see through the dark.”

He tries so hard holding himself back. Wants to share himself but also protect both himself and Tatum and the Kings.
I found him on his knees. Just a boy in the rain with his heart bleeding.

And Tatum is learning things arent what she thought. The Kings were evil to her, and she didn't deserve it. But (beyond the pull your hair because I like you and cant deal with that) alot of their evil has purpose.
The more she learns that more she doesn't want to punish them, but won't admit it to them yet.

I don’t want to hurt you. I just feel like I have to

And she does have her own darkness too. We know that. I think it will come out more in the next couple of books.

“Where does it hurt?” “Everywhere,”
