I was thinking as I was reading this novel, that it was probably a four star read... Until I got to the end. The end appeared rather abruptly, leaving two distinct threads going absolutely nowhere.

<spoiler>The first is that Evan is forced to flee his parents' house after his mother calls two men - one a doctor - to take Evan away for an assessment after she finds out that Evan had been talking in detail about Aiden and his world. I assume it's because she thinks he is insane - t More...

I went in to read this story thinking that I'd enjoy it to some degree but came out disgusted. The writing itself isn't bad but the characters and plot need major work. Like the book needs a solid plot line that it builds on throughout and not just go from one sex scene to another. The answer to everything in Aidan and Evan's relationship seems to be sex; they don't fight, talk about anything serious, have relationships - other then sexual - outside of each other, etc etc...

This is one of those books that transports you into a new land from the beginning and though you marvel at the surroundings you know you've read this story before.

His interest in magic lands him an old Mage's personal journal.

Even tries a spell from the arcane journal and is transported to the erethral plane that Aiden's world is on. It's l More...

hmm, I read some of the reviews here and I wasn't sure we were reading the same book. I really liked it. It wasn't deep or angsty or particularly clever but it was a nice story that made you feel happy at the end. I thought the charaters brought in at the end may be the set up for another book in this world, I truely hope so.

Final chapters killed the whole story. New characters introduced, large portions of action just skipped. It screams: "Oh, we have to finish this story somehow and do it fast."

I thought this was a pretty decent book there were certain parts that seem to make the book itself move really fast
