review 1: I still like the description of the amish community as much as I did in the first book "Between Two Worlds" It is not prejudiced but shows the strengths but also the terrible drawbacks of communitarianism. My complaints are of a more technical kind regarding the way the plot is construed. I honestly find that Somerset is bending the rules of "who dunnit" by first introducing the Carolyn character in book number two. All the suspects have to be ready from the beginning, you can't just introduce a new one much later without breaking the contract with your reader and violate the rules of promise and payoff. She should have been there working on Kevins newspaper already in book one. But maybe the author didn't know at that time how he should end the story and who actually shou... moreld be guilty in Kyles death.
review 2: I'm beginning to discover Shelter Somerset's voice unique in the sea of m/m romance. I am a fond reader of happily ever after stories, and I have become accustomed to the litany of banalities found within the romance genre. To discover subtle undercurrents of political commentary far flung from the voices echoing between the covers of m/m literature is rather refreshing. I will look for more of Somerset's novels and see where this goes.... less

Very good story, slow paced but strong. The characters were real people, with real problems.

Thought Daniel was an utter ass in this one, but it's still a four-star read.

This is what gay lit should read like. Thank you, Shelter.
