Angus's odd lifestyle plunges Adrien into another mystery, but
The Hell You Say
seems more character driven than plot-driven. Even a cultic murder takes a back seat to the changes in Adrien's life; but since I'm sold on Adrien, that's fine. His story moves forward as his mother makes a startling announcement and his problems with Jake come to a head, creating a make or break moment in their relationship.

I love this series. The narrator is excellent, and I am glad I have all of them available to listen to back to back. A very enjoyable mystery series. Highly recommended.
I love Angus, but he’s an idiot. Lol. Jake... well, he’s trying. Trying for the wrong thing, yeah. He still thinks he can force himself to be straight.

No wonder I couldn't put this down!

シリーズ中盤になりますが、うう、主人公といっしょになって、胸をきりきりと締めつけられる感じ。
もうとまらない。最後までいっきに読んでしまおう！
It's about the middle of the series and I don't know how many times I have to have my heart being squeezed and have a pause to calm myself and acknowledge that, how cruel and merciless it could be, there should always be some inevitable developments for m/m romance stories when one of the lovers choose to stay deep down in the closet.
