There are sooooo many words in italic sprinkled throughout the text... they create superfluous emphasis and disturb my reading flow which I can't stand at all.
Plus the story is getting lengthy due to non-communication (beast) and non-existing deduction skills (beauty). (<-Seriously use your brain!)
I quit.

I forgot that there is this thing called passato remoto...

... e ancora una volta in italiano

not a bad book per se. It's just that the author decided to inform the reader of past events by having the MCs holding (lengthy) inner monologues or remembering past events. And they do that in middle of a conversation. All. the. time!
While it's nice to know what happened in the past and why the MCs are the way they are and behave the way they do it could have been done with only half the amount of words.

Finished the first story. It was okay. The ending was rather abrupt but I guess that is a characteristic of Josh Lanyon's writing...

...meh.
Maybe I'm in the wrong mood for this book...

...meh.

I quite like the story but it doesn't succeed in holding my interest...

I'm bored.

I'm not hooked yet...
