Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.
I wanted to love this, I really did. And I did love the first half of the book, violence and bloodshed included. The level of these is high, and it pushes right to the edges of my boundaries on that but I liked that it does here, so that wasn't the issue.
The issue for me was, midway through, something changed in the story. It went from really good, to kinda meh and I struggled. I very nearly dumped it, to be honest, but I wanted to see how it would all pan out.
I think, once Ze and Colton come out as a couple, and they do what they need to do to keep Ze safe, it all gets a bit . . .light . . .and fluffy . . .maybe?? It just didn't FEEL right after that, that's what I'm trying to say. It did not work, FOR ME.
But, up to that point, I really enjoyed it, violence and all. And both Ze and Colton have a say, so that was good. I did finish it, so . . .
3 good, but not for me stars
* same worded review will appear elsewhere
