Blue = 92 mentions
Eyes = mentions
Stare = 34 mentions
Silence = 79 mentions
Whiskey and sin = 18 mentions

When put like that it doesn't feel all that much but holy hell when you're reading it I swear all she does is stare at his blue blue eyes and he stares silently back when his whiskey and sin voice isn't tempting her. 

The first 60% is okay, the last 2 chapters is where it gets interesting though. Hopefully book 2 is better and this was just the slow burn intro into the Dark Verse
