Tigers on the Run by Sean Kennedy
3.0
3 Stars
Granted, it’s been awhile since I read [b:Tigerland|15841201|Tigerland (Tigers and Devils, #2)|Sean Kennedy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1345642409l/15841201._SX50_.jpg|21582793], and it was a bit rough getting back into the groove of things. Rest assured though, that Simon is still his snarky, cynical self who is often his own worst enemy (he even knows this cold hard fact) but still can’t get out of his way, and thus plenty of shenanigans ensue.
This time around, Simon’s arch nemesis resurfaces in all the worst ways. Ever by his side is Declan, who really never does any wrong and is forever enduring Simon’s antics like only a saint can.
Overall, I liked revisiting these two but the conflicts presented in the form of said enemy and a troubled LGBT teen just wasn’t my thing, as it brought lots and lots of frustration and thus, less enjoyment. Also for me, the humor wasn’t as spot on as before, but I really enjoyed besties Fran and Roger, who were just lovely bringing their own special kind of crazy and neurotic.
Regardless, it’s heartwarming to see how Simon and Declan’s relationship has strengthened, how they do cherish one another and support the other through thick and thin, and in the end that’s what counts!
