I loved the audio. I’d already read the book, but Troy Duran brings the boys to life sooooo well.

Why does it seem like nothing happens in these books. You get a tiny plot line you want to follow, which keeps me reading. But I am unsure about it the whole time. Then there is a big enough plot twist at the end. And now I am annoyed that I feel like I need to read the next book. Just like Zodiac Academy. But I keep reading. Grammatical errors drive me crazy. The same small situation is relived from multiple perspectives, and then the big situation happens too fast. I feel like 3 books could be edited into 1 fantastic book. An editor is desperately needed for these authors. But again, I keep reading. And they stay a solid 3 stars for me.

More character building is desperately needed. We are consistently stuck on one side of them, which gets repetitive. There has to be more feelings in these characters than lust. It starts out making you believe you are going to read the spiciest of books. But nothing ever really happens, they just think about it. But it isn't slow burn in the sense that you are desperately waiting for it to happen, either. You know it will, because that is the only emotion these characters seem to have.
