These dumb MCs who wanna play hero make me roll my eyes. Simon is going to go pick up Tasha or whatever her name is, thinks about telling Vic, and decides no because the cops won't believe woo woo shit. You don't have to report to the cops officially. You can at least tell Vic where you're going and why, just so someone knows... and say there was a suspicious guy who gave her the creeps, not even mention her powers.

Christ, this Billy Bass is even stupider than Simon. He's straight out mentioned Simon's cop boyfriend, but doesn't think that maybe he'd be looking for him or know where Simon went (well, Simon thinks that too, to be fair.. because he's also stupid) & be on his way with backup? Goes on with his villain monologue and decides he's going to do a slow bleed while they wait instead of a quick kill & getting out of dodge?

God, I hate oral. Rimming and blowjobs, yuck! Also, they randomly threw "knob" in there. Guess they were bored of cock. Anyway. The sex isn't hot because they don't have enough chemistry and they didn't build up to it. Again, if your first kiss and first fuck happen at the same time, you're doing it wrong. They're also TOO focused on sex. All they think about every time they see each other is "my dick hard again!"

A Harry Potter reference? Ugh. Published in 2018... I guess that's early enough that not everyone would have yet been aware of how awful jk rowling is.

Also, the sex is not only too soon, but comes out of nowhere. Very abrupt.

Was going well, but they jumped into sex too quickly. The insta lust on both sides was frustrating, but at least the tension over the reading got in the way so they didn't jump straight into fucking. But generally speaking, if your first kiss and first fuck happen at the same time, you're moving too fast :\

Lee Also, why did the killer still attack when the girl wasn't alone? What happened to easy pickings? And what happened to his gun? And why does Simon still think assault can't be reported to the police, or at least to Vic?

Lee Okay, at least he's now telling vic the details after the fact 🙄 "i was gonna call you as soon as I caught my breath" no you weren't

Lee Once again, too much sex, and these lines about this deep emotional connection that we saw zero development of. They've known each other for maybe a week, if that, and hardly spent any time together that hasn't been spent on sex.

Lee The couple feels generic because they didn't actually develop. The sex scenes are super generic. Boring.

Lee I swear you could cut the length of this book down by half (if not more) if you took out the sex and every mention of someone's dick twitching in their pants. Shut the fuck up.
