This leans far closer to erotica than I realized it would when I first started reading. This was mostly fine, just surprising, and I wish I'd realized before going in that the murder-mystery aspect was actually going to take a backseat to the sex stuff. It starts off VERY strong, I really enjoyed it. I think I'd have enjoyed it more if it was a shorter straight up smut novel though. The characterization started to flag as things got closer and closer to the end, the characters making choices based on one or two character traits they have versus being well rounded people. It was also very clear at a certain point that the plot was running the characters versus the other way around. 

Overall it was pretty good, at least in the beginning, but I'll admit, my main reason for not DNFing by the middle of the book was because one of my goals this year is to reach a certain number of books read.
