Cute story albeit too short. I was a bit lost in the beginning fearing it was something along the lines of an open-relationship between Conner and Vince. Only to figure out it's thankfully not. It's about Taylor and Conner. I did like these characters although I know nothing about them and I felt like this was more of an excerpt for another book than anything else. I was slightly confused for a good amount of the story but it was still enjoyable because it was sweet with no sex.

The reason I gave this short 4 stars is because after I finished it, my immediate thought was "huh - I need to know more about these guys." It really captured my interest in a very short number of pages. I still honestly don't really have any idea what's going on, and the relationships are unclear as to how they developed, where they stand, and where they're going, but after all is said and done, I really wanted to know what the hell happens next. So for piquing my interest in a handful of pages - 4 stars.

I was disappointed mostly because I hadn't read this author before and her bio mentions "things that go bump in the night" and horror, so for a freebie Halloween promo, I was hoping to be frightened. This was not horror, nor was it Halloween themed.

As for the story itself, I didn't quite follow it. I think I know what was going on, but I'm not certain. I could reread it this morning -- awake -- but I think I'd rather see if Ms. Nyx has some horror to satisfy that reading need.

It's too short but it's not what you think my mind went over time. Vince and paul is together and vince wonders why conner is upset with him. But then it's not even about them conner is with Taylor so it's about them they want what Vincent and Paul has. Anyway still good enough but still unanswered questions.

As far as I know, this is a standalone story. Friends celebrating after finals, starting at a bar, then in the dorm. It's a bit confusing until the end. A second reading really helped me. It's relatively complex for that short a story. Sex is implied, not explicit. 3.5 stars.

The way the story is told makes it a bit of a difficult read to understand at first but once you get to the ending all the pieces fall together. This short story was interesting enough that I wish it was a bit longer just so I can read/learn more about Connor and Taylor.
