In the beginning, I thought the book would feel stereotypical, but I found that everytime I turned a page I got more and more invested. The relationship between the two main characters captivated me and was the reason I decided to stick it out. I'm glad I did, because the story got so much better the deeper you read.

The twist of Cody being in the FBI at the end came as a shock to me, which is something I look for in books. I've always been able to predict a twist ending very easily, but this one actually managed to blow me away.


My one critique has to be the overuse of the same sexual terms. The sex scenes were great, don't get me wrong, but could at times feel slightly repetitive.
