The only reason why I interrupted reading this was because life got in the way. I got addicted to this story and didn’t want to stop. 
The torture scenes were quite a bit too gruesome for me, but other than that I devoured this book. 
Neil and Andrew’s relationship is so beautifully complicated I couldn’t get enough of it. So many things are going on between them and still there is an easiness between them that is just delightful. 
I feel like I still don’t know enough about some of the other characters. We got such a detailed version of Neil, Kevin, Andrew and Aaron that the others seem lacking in comparison. Which is such a shame because they all have so much potential to be more deeply discovered. No wonder there’s so much content from this fandom. These characters invite you to discover them and their relationships further. 
Maybe these weren’t very well written books, but they were so enjoyable and just take you in. As I heard someone say “these books are to be enjoyed, not admired” and I have to 100% agree to that.
