Beaucoup trop d'incohérences concernant l'autisme d'Aiden, et jusqu'ici il n'y a aucun élément concernant l'enquête sur laquelle Aiden doit témoigner ...

I was very pleasantly surprised! The editing had some issues, but I quite liked the story.

emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I loved this book and Aiden was everything. I just loved his personality. I love a book when both the MC's don't really realize how much they're missing their other halves until they meet each other. This is what happened to Lane and Aiden. I just loved them together. The sex was super hot too ;-)

This book is just...bad. The way Asperger's is portrayed is shoddy at best, the main characters are interchangeable, and the plot is thin. But the worst part is that this book needs an editor SO BADLY. It's too distracting to enjoy anything that happens.

I pick this book as it was tagged as a mystery but it isn't. There is maybe a bit of suspense regarding Aiden's stalker, but that is so swiftly dealt with that you have to wonder how it went for so long.

I cringe a bit at the oversimplistic portrait of an autistic man but, sadly, this happens so often that it almost doesn't bore to mention it ~sigh~

But the characters have potential, so I'll give the next book a chance.

I think this is the first book I've read with a character that has synesthesia!

This started out roughly for me (both the actual book and the narration) and I wasn't sure if I was going to like either of them. However, they both quickly smoothed out and found their rhythm. I enjoyed them a lot by the end.

Granted, I have a strong suspicion that the representation of Aspergers Syndrom wasn't at all accurate (and I feel like that is a term not used anymore). But I also don't feel like it represented people with Aspergers in any sort of derogatory way. So I chose to accept that this is a fictional book with a fictional representative. Much as I did with the detective and forensic expert aspect of the book. Neither was well developed or integral to the plot.

I also felt the book went on a few chapters (and an epilogue) too long after the story came to a natural conclusion, and other reviews say there are editing issues. I can't say I noticed them in the audio version I listened to. All in all, this isn't a perfect book, but I'm awful glad to have a compilation of the first five books.
