Darkhearts by James L. Sutter

this was.. okay. there were plenty of things I both liked and disliked that make my feelings for it sort of conflicting. this wasn’t a horrible book by any means but it just wasn’t good either.
David is a very unlikeable character which I often enjoy reading about, if they get some sort of character development, which wasn’t the case in this. Also I feel like the death of Eli was primarily used as a plot point to get Chance and David back together. This could’ve worked well but it felt unnecessary with the fact that it was barely talked about after a while. David barely had a sympathy for Chance who was actually sort of grieving with the situation.
Despite some qualms with the book, it wasn’t horrible and I did like the romance. It was messy and fun in many ways. I also really enjoyed the fact that both main characters are unlabeled since we don’t see that much.
Overall, this is a quick queer read with messy characters. I don’t know if I’d personally recommend it but I’d suggest checking it out for yourself if you’re interested in the premise!
