Yeah, no. It wasn't OJ's "fast-talking defense team" that got him acquitted; it was the jury's reasonable doubt cast on the evidence & how it was collected. Dirty cops planting & tampering with evidence damage "air tight" cases & let killers go free.

Major spoiler (& really gross), so don't read if you're interested in the book.

Question for those with forensic backgrounds/knowledge:

Finding remains that have been sealed in a supposedly intact plastic trash bag, buried underground, for 7 yrs...wouldn't putrefaction have rendered the body into liquid (besides the bones and clothing)?

Reading this based on Cat Sebastian's review...it's not tagged as such but her comments make it clear we're looking at MMF. YAY!!!??!??

I am loving this story so far; it reads like an episode of the show while also reading like an episode I wish the show would cover with all the Sterek-y feelz.

One thing though: The author uses some odd verb conjugation sometimes. "Derek's sat on the of the steel tables..." & "How long has he been stood there not talking?" & "...is stood right behind him..."

Weird. Those should be "sitting" or "standing."

I've had this book for 10 years. TEN YEARS...and until recently have been too squeamish to actually read it.

Fuck it. I'm in a dark mood. Again.

I'm going in...

I have absolutely no idea what is going on here.

Taylor is an asshole of epic proportions, Niall is an enigma & Roo is a hot mess...a hilariously relatable one, but still. MESS.

I probably should have (re?)read the summary but since I reset my Kindle it synced all out of order & this book I bought years ago - one I wouldn't have chosen if it weren't MMF - came up on the carousel.

So...this should be interesting.

So, can anyone suggest the best way to comment on an ARC that you just can't bring yourself to finish? I've been trying - really, really hard - to keep reading but...oh man, it's just not working out.

Sometimes that happens, I know. But it's the first time it's been an ARC. And with this one, well, I want to be polite and say, "It's not the book. It's me." BUT...yeah, no. It's totally the book.

Help?

I thought I'd get back to this since I have been in the mood for Scifi & I it's an ARC I need to review...

But just a few pages in from where I left off there's this bit about how females & heteros are denied passage on the ship because *gasp* girls be complaining & straights be grossed out by all the gay sex happening, all over the ship, during the 6+week voyage.

I don't know whether to laugh or be offended...

Holy shit...have I found my Unicorn MMF story, finally? Already this book has more characterization, more heat and a better plot than the last one I read. It's also better written as whole than some of the other books I've read this year. *crossing fingers*

Thanks, Adam Baldwin, for making it impossible for me to watch my favorite TV show ever again - because I can't separate your character from you in Real Life. Not after tweeting that photoshopped gif of Emma Gonzalez, which YOU show as ripping up the US Constitution when IN FACT it was from a Vogue shoot where she rips up a paper gun target.

Shame on you.

I've been so frustrated w/how every book I've started can't hold my attention or is boring/stupid that I decided to sort of do a brain cleanser by watching a few documentaries on Netfix.

Bad idea.

What started out as a bit of distraction (Planet Earth 2) turned into binge-watching The Crown & Versailles...& I've moved on to Sense8 & Altered Carbon.

Historical & Scifi; LOL, I'm predictable across multiple media.

Oh but wait! It's okay because the damage isn't permanent and after a quick scan-heal device there hardly even a mark.

Still, ummm...no. *eyeroll*

"You're here to be punished. I'm going to hurt you so you can't think of what you've done. There is no safeword. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but an exorcism is never painless."

...says the Captain, who then proceeds to whip the restrained & trussed-up other guy bloody.

Ummm...Yeah, this may be an ARC but I'm about half a second away from DNFing this. Because, no.

The ship's systems were designed to gradually shift the sleep cycles of everyone on board to match up to the active hours for each destination.

3 pgs later:

...they would only be docked for one twenty-four hour cycle...

Wait, what? "Syncing" in this case is a complete waste of time/energy. Not even sure why this detail was included...

So, Miller catches Church breaking into his apartment as he tries to steal the TV; from then on evidently their friendship (etc?) is fraught with tension & evidently some sexual attraction.

Miller's cat is named Francis Bacon.

The artist Francis Bacon had a tumultuous relationship with Fred Dyer, his lover and muse...after catching Dyer crashing through the skylight trying to steal some shit.

Nicely done Sidney.

Okay, I need to read the actual book and maybe not fall into an internet spiral following source links to read more about Hamilton, Laurens and Andre...

Because, yeah, I've been doing that for almost an hour now.

I'm loving the sexy times between Jack & Eli...but something about the way the rest of the book is written - and given the need for circumspection in this era - makes me almost wish (I can't believe I'm about to say this) that there was a little less smut. Or that the smut was, IDK, more prosaic, or flowery? Kinda like the wording in Hamilton's letters to Laurens. (See previous update for link.)

"Laurens' eyes brightened when Hamilton turned his smile the man's way...Jack saw a level of affection between them that made him wonder just how friendly they were with one another."

Damn, SV really did her homework for this book!

Congress is "too caught up in their own importance" to see to the most basic needs of their people.

Yeah, I know that Major John Andre is supposed to look like this.

BUT...

With the description of "elfin features" I'm going to keep imaging him as JJ Feild:


Because with Eli flirting and the hinted sexual attraction? *fans self*

This narrator...it's so much like having ear sex that I'm anticipating this being a "no-hands" read for more than it being an audiobook.

Damn Real Life for getting in the way of me reading this!

Also, Jack just mentioned Ben Tallmadge & John Andre...which made me realize I never watched the final season of Turn: Washington's Spies.

This is what happens when you stop watching most television after years of 60-80hr watch weeks...you lose track of the few really quality shows that continue to interest you.
