This book was so unexpectedly tender and tense!

I think it’s more of a slice of life love story that has a huge mystery/crime thriller element to it. Rao and Adam are a fantastic pairing and the style of the writing was really engrossing. The ending was truly perfect and the “villain” was unlike any concept I have ever read before.

Really remarkable and truly genre bending science fiction.

This has to be the slowest slice-of-life, gay mystery/thriller I've ever read. It's also the only one I've read to date, but it still dragged.
