Copy & paste of Don & Jon. Do not bother.
Copy & paste of Don & Jon. Do not bother.
I was reading the books and enjoying them until I got to Brandon and Mack. The story beforehand killed this series for me. Brandon and Mack are terribly written copy and paste of Donovon and Jon.
There was no love affair, no romance. We were given "tragic" backstories and they made no difference to their character or otherwise. Brandon whose never been with a guy and "fighting his new self" well that didnt last...well it lasted in the sentence he said it? It was pointless. As they never had a connection in the first place, I don't care about either of them. They are just badly written characters.
Even the characters admit it 43% through. "Why are they so alike?"! Really?
Don literally tells him to treat Mack exactly like Jon, like how he did in previous books. So rinse and repeat. Wow.
Why make the Havili brothers so perfect? They are plumbers, electricians, carpenters even...and FYI the first time ain't fun. It's dull how perfect they are.
The declaration of love from Mack was forced and I didn't see any of this in the past 2 books. Just a filler with fake emotions. I don't feel for either of these two due to the rush and copy & paste. It was pathetic.
The bonding? Wow was that disappointing as heck. But what did I expect after all this? *touches heads* "Oh wow, you're so bright now" cool. Not.
The demon ghost...whatever. Dull as nails. Wow it broke some windows, call in everyone and everything!!!! IT CANT REALLY HURT ANYONE BUT ERMAHGERD.
Plot twist, Mack can exorcise but is too lazy too. Throws that in 75% through.
Then we get this weird "woke" theme too. Talks about non-binary, whitewashed FBI, threesomes, gay hate...so is this book about ghosts or about fake drama? Oh wow, the three of them are so unaccepted. Mhmm. They don't even touch each other. No kiss, no hugs, no flirting, nothing.
Delany is there for drama but doesn't do anything. Pointless character.

This book was pretty awesome.
Mack and Brandon are sent down to Mack’s hometown to help get rid of a ghost from his cousin’s place.
Brandon learns more about his partner and the way Mack is through observation.
I loved how AJ takes the time to immerse us in Mack’s world and family. We know why he is the way he is and Brandon is so darn patient.
I loved the trust that builds.
On the action front, oh my! It was engaging and page turning. I needed more of it and I hope to see the exorcist again.
Highly recommend this book. It’s funny and action packed with a dash of spicy heat.

Loved it
Absolutely loved this book and the characters. Mack and Brandon are brilliant and perfect for each other. Love that it is tied into Jon and Donovan world and story. Definitely going to get the next one.

I kept losing interest in this one so it took a good while to finish. It was mediocre, but still somehow a level below Jon’s Mysteries that all held my interest better. I think I need a break from this author.
