Down On Him picks up immediately after 999 And Counting... So much so that honestly, the two books (and the promised conclusion, Night Bird) would likely work better as a single volume.
Kyle is back, just as Jake decided to give him up and pursue a relationship with Caleb. Drama ensues.
The writing has improved. While sometimes the writing is too self-consciously showy, trying to hard to turn a phrase or push a simile, it diminished as the book went on.
I still don't like the complete lack of character description. I know that's the current literary fad. It really bothered me with Lee Mandelo's Summer Sons as well. So I mention it in this review, but will admit that that this is a 'me thing' rather than a fault with the writing.
One place Weston excels is in the pacing. The story is compellingly written, with stuff constantly coming up to keep you reading.
I'm looking forward to the concluding installment and will be picking it up as soon as it is out.
Looking at the author's upcoming listings, I see he has a new spin-off trilogy coming out, starring one of the side characters. Gap Year Queer looks to be a much fluffier story than the self-consciously literary soap opera of Boys of the Blue Hour. It'll be interesting to see if he can pull it off.
