review 1: The beginning was tensionless. It wasn't even blasé. It was just blah.It reads like the MC's trying not to sound like he thinks he's all that, but really, he knows he's all that and wants to make sure that you know he's all that.After most of the exposition was over and I'd come back to it after...I forget. I must have played AC for a while and then took a shower and possibly did a bit of rereading of otehr stuff in between. Anyway, when you come back and it's all settled into the story and everything, MC is really sassy, which is kind of cool, although honestly, I really just want to know about Kevin now. Heck, I don't even remember the MC's name.I just remember the other dude, Robbie, cuz there was another character in a different ghost M/M story I read recently with a ... morecharacter named Robert. I did mention before that whenever I read something, it seems to trend for at least three times, right? Apparently, Robert (and permutations thereof) and Emily/Emma (and permutations thereof) are very popular ghosty names.I got to the end and had this reaction:"Aw. Damnit. Now I have to read on. I wasn't going to go any further but now I have to read on."Cuz Robbie's there.I hope there's Kevin in bk2. I really wanna know what happens with Kevin.
review 2: I quite enjoyed this. I thought it was going to be a bit more grim than it was, but for all the slicing and dicing it was a rather light read. Liked that Duncan didn't suddenly go off on a goose chase over the killer, even if that part of the story didn't eventually tie into him. Seemed more real that way. And for all that I would have liked for Robbie to let Duncan and Nick get it on, I like the dynamic between Duncan and Robbie, and maybe we will be lucky to maybe get Nick/Duncan/Robbie in later books? I'm all for unconventional threesomes. less
