I'm kinda dissapointed... it wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't amazing either. It gave me a lot to think about. But most of all it felt forced, like she really didn't want to write it, but had to. Or maybe it feels forced cause it was delayed for 7 months and that alone raises expectations sky high. I would have been loads more understanding and willing to ignore stuff that annoyed me if it had been published in december. I can never know that now.

During the last year or so I lost a lot faith in I'm kinda dissapointed... it wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't amazing either. It gave me a lot to think about.

During the last year or so I lost a lot faith in her and I was absolutely terrified during all that wait period that she'll do the usual (view spoiler). I was literally tense the entire time when I was reading it, because I was afraid that it'll happen. So probably that took some of the enjoyment from reading this.

That Jeremy thing felt rushed, the solution especially. Also the thing with Kaynors...like is that even a realistic that they would have a leg to stand legally speaking? That was so weird, maybe it's an american thing. No solution either in this book. wondering if I got the full version from kobo.

I didn't like how much of Gage there was in this book. But then again I nearly never like kids in books, so that's proabably a me thing. But he was annoying.

I remember the previous books being really funny...or maybe I just wasn't in a right mood today.

J.X. and Kit were adorable. They were. Also liked what happened with Kit's writing career.

I will re-read it. Maybe I will enjoy it more, when I don't have to worry about what's going to happen. Because I was in full tension mode while reading it.

I'm going to leave this here as a reminder to myself: (view spoiler) .

oh and the biggest annoyance was to discover that in my ebook version there was 22 pages of just patreon names. If that's not a filler then I don't know what is. 22 pages of just names.

I guess now I'll have to wait summer 2020... ...more

A wonderful aspect about reading a series is being able to enjoy the journey of the characters as they learn, discover, and blossom. Even better, in this series, all of the aforementioned is happening amid a whole lot of compelling murder and mayhem!

Christopher and JX have been together for nearly a year now, have survived more than one murder mystery, are sharing a house, and are even talking marriage. That's a heavy load for the usually cynical and self-deprecating Christopher. Add on this fa ...more

I loved this! JX and Kit have their differences, but they (especially Kit) have learned to trust one another enough to talk things through--like adults. A couple of decent mystery plots here, some nice romantic moments, and everything works out well at the end--for Kit, JX, (view spoiler). (minor spoiler) ...more

It was a good book. I really enjoyed the plot, the dual mysteries, Kit and J.X.s relationship progression; I even enjoyed the little monster Gage. I look forward to the next installment and what further troubles Kit will find himself in.

A great installment in the series and I'm looking forward to the next installment in a year. Kit and J.X. are finally settling down in their new home when Kit get's a call from David, his ex, that the police has found a dead body buried in their old house. From there readers should know what to expect so I won't go into further detail.

I loved reading about J.X. and Kit's relationship and how far they've come in each other influences. How much J.x. and Kit care for each other. It was also nice to ...more

Continuing to enjoy this series! I just love Kit so much, more with every book. He feels very real and relatable and messy and complicated. The plot was interesting, and I really liked seeing him and JX settle even more into themselves and heir relationship. The David plot was also great and gave some nice closure to Kit's past life. ...more
