could have been gayer.
I thought i was reading slowburn m/m. i expected every next chapter for a drop or hint of the characters inner thoughts. and was thoroughly disappointed in the ending. that being said.

it was alright. i won't read it again or finish the series. there was a lot going on. which could have been played better other then a murder mystery showdown in the living room. it felt rushed or really just thrown together to make it all work.
