Very YA and not very gay, despite the LGBTQ tag.  There's a big bad (the dark) and big good (the light).  Pretty simplistic in its morality.  As others have said, it's slow and does have a halfway decent twist, but there's not enough here for me to continue.  Captive Prince was decent though, and I'd read any further adult titles she releases.
