This has multiple point of views (including the bad guys. Yes you read their twisted thoughts and see them murder/torture victims)
There is romance but the relationship between Danny and Skip isn't the focus of the story. But what is there is awesome. I wish this was longer I could've read another hundred pages of Skip and Danny together.
This won't be for everyone I really like it so far. The written is good. Characters are fucked up (Plus all the bad guys are just twisted) but really interesting. At 32% I find myself very engaged with the story
Oh, there's also a really awesome dog! my favorite characters:
1.Skinny (Skip+Danny, love them together)
2. The dog!
3. Oren
See status update for my thoughts of the beginning. I liked it. I ended up posting a lot status updates while reading.
Only 8% and I know I should hate Oren. The homophobic bad guy but he's so funny I love his voice. I guess I'm a sucker for the funny assholes.
15% and still really enjoying it. I think I like the bad guy more than the Mcs. Bad guy just so funny. (This changes when Danny and Skip get together, they were just fun to read about)
Omg
Oh man Edgar, you are one sick fuck. And change your name.
The author had a larger vocabulary than me. Good thing kindle has a built in dictionary, I've used it like five times.
What a ride this book had my attention from the beginning but the last half was intense and I just couldn't read it fast enough. If the bad guys pov and the ick-factor wont bother you, read this.
The beginning had some repetitiveness. Just like the characters ask questions which they already were told the answer too earlier in the book. Not a lot but when it did happen it stood out. For the most part it was really well written and kept me engaged throughout the book.
The end was wrapped with a nice HEA but I still wanted more.
Some unanswered questions I had:
