This. This. This..

is how you write a good story.

This is how you write about dark skinned and light skinned people
This is how you write about more dark skinned people than light skinned people.
This is how you describe the appearance of people of African* descendant without only calling them 'black' (because they are all alike, right?).
This is how you write about people.
This is how you write about prostitutes with self respect and without shaming them.
This is how you write mm sex scenes with an unexpected mf, mmf, mmfmmmmfm clusterfuck-of-people.
This is how you write sex scenes. I don't think I skipped even one. And I skip almost every sex scene I encounter (I get bored with them, ok?)
This is how you write tongue in the cheek jokes.

I can't say how happy this book made me. I can't day how many times this story made me smile. I can't say how fucking grateful I am to see diversity in a story without the feeling it's only there because 'diversity'. I abso-fucking-love* this book (the whole series actually) and the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I read the other books a while ago and forgot who was who half the time. A lot of characters from earlier books made a cameo. Which sometimes I liked and sometimes got frustrating because of the 'who the fuck was that again?'-feeling.
Also it feels a little bit insta-love to me. Which is not totally fair because in the story they mostly do* know each other for longer. But there you have it.

*ugh English. Why don't you work the way I want to!

The thing I liked most about this story is the appearance of Devlin & Midnight and the fact that he & Chris look so much alike someone felt the need to tell him! I really can't wait for the last book in the series, where I suspect those two will meet. ( )
