Low stakes, cozy romance, with occasional detective work sprinkled in. Which, on the surface, isn't that bad. Tho the spicy scene was cringe. Reads like bad fanfic, so very obviously written by someone who hasn't had gay sex.
Also, the minority inclusions were stereotypical in dialog and descriptions. Most glaringly, there are Asians who speak in broken English.And he's supposed to forgive the chick who shot him bc... she has dissociative identity disorder.
That's the reveal of the case, BTW. Unimaginative. And not good representation. I've read better with DiD rep.
Tbh, I'd have preferred a straight up romance without the cases that made no sense.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

Great start to a modern psychic series
Jon and Donovan are goals...simple as that. What a crazy psychic ride! Sweet but not too fluffy. Intrigue, laughs, staying away from all electronics is necessary, and a crazy mystery to boot! Loved it!

I wanted to like this more than I did. The premise sounded intriguing but the execution was a bit boring. Everything always got wrapped up with a nice pretty bow way too easily. Whether it be Jon’s cases or his relationship with Donovan, there was no real conflict to keep me interested. Also the writing felt more like “telling” rather than “showing”.
