Erin E. Keller

I don't know if it was the age difference, the fact that Elias seemed so immature even though he shouldn't have been, or Thomas being a bit more needy and weird than he should have been - I didn't much care for this book - it was mostly written with the 2 of them which is OK but having some outside influence sometimes is a good thing. Their drama relationship was a lot to take in throughout the book - I get the suspense and the back story of each of the individuals lending to the books narrative but I felt like it was almost not needed - I didn't care at all about Thomas's past - elias had the most intriguing of the 2 but still not enough to keep me super interested… (mer)

At first I didn't like much the story, Alex was to edged, too harsh, Daniel was too much a punching ball, taking everything Alex was lashing out without apparently back bone. But it's actually those extreme characterization that made the reading interesting. I wanted to see how they were to come together, cause coming together (no pun intended) was obviously the natural outcome. And during their separate paths that had to join somewhere, the characters changed, displaying how Alex was indeed full of insecurity, and how Daniel instead was strong, and able to be the mainstay Alex needed to take back in track his life.

The story isn't really long, and truth be told, I wouldn't have minded a little more background when Alex was doing self-assessment and looking back at his past to correct his present and future. But aside for this, even if in few pages, the plot seemed well developed, the love story between Alex and Daniel slow but steady, even if the attraction was there from moment one, they took their time to bring it to a physical level.

Interesting debut for this author, I'm pretty sure I will read more from her.
