Holy fucking shirtballs that was good. I actually struggled with the first part of it - getting the POVs of both characters simultaneously isn’t something I’ve read much of before so took my brain a while to get into it, and for maybe the first quarter of the book I didn’t really like either of the characters much - they acted childish and churlish and I was not impressed.
But at about the 20% mark it all clicked for me and suddenly I was absolutely obsessed. The more I learnt about Ty and Zane, the more I loved them, both are broken, fighting their demons and secretly bi, and you know I love an undercover bisexual.
The story was engaging and hand me guessing (although the killer was spoiled in a review I read beforehand, booooo!!) but even so, I absolutely loved it. This was a thriller first and foremost but the romance was so beautifully weaved in. Ugh, absolutely obsessed.
I am sad that this book is currently out of print; I was lucky enough to be able to borrow the series, but I seriously hope that the first 4 books get re-released because based on this first one alone, they’re absolutely top tier.
