Ya know, I can confidently say this just wasn’t for me. I had some issues with the relationship dynamics, especially Aly’s relationship with herself. She gaslit herself multiple times and made weird decisions in critical moments. And Josh’s name is Josh, which is, you know, not great. Fred was obviously perfect in every way.

The humor was there, the banter was solid, the smut was smutty. I just struggled with some of the emotional aspects. I totally get why people like this. I loved Butcher & Blackbird and Scythe & Sparrow so I thought this would land for me and it just didn’t.

The audio was fantastically done. We need more duet style narrations for books.
