When Lily Mayne announced this book, I was literally jumping out of my seat. This has quickly become one of my favorite series as a comfort read. It's just light hearted and appeals to my sense of humor. I definitely think it's not going to be for everyone because it can be a bit juvenile. 

The book is pretty fast paced in spice but slower in relationship progression. The initial start of Vince and Crossbody's relationship was extremely bizarre. It almost felt like it came out of nowhere but I think it did great in slowly transitioning into something more tangible. 
There is some dub con in the beginning of the book so I'd definitely keep that in mind if it's not your thing.

Crossbody was so cute which I wasn't expecting at all. I really like how his character turned out. He's extremely naïve due to his upbringing.  He's easily hurt and so he keeps everyone at a distance to prevent further pain. 

Vince starts off as a massive dick. While Crossbody comes across snarky, Vince is straight up mean at times. He lets his temper get the better of him. However, I did like how things progressed. He does own up to his mistakes and rectifies them. 

The story between the two of them coming from different worlds was great. I loved how it came together by the end. Finally, seedy incubus motel guy is a creep and a sexual harasser. I also could not stop laughing at him and I cannot wait for his book.
