All done! Satisfying--very!--ending, even with the perfectly worked in groundwork for the sequel.

Omg! The tension! And so few pages left! Suspense!

Oh-oh. The ubiquitous cliche (and myth, in Daemon's experience and research) of m/m: http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/201...

"Every time he moved, the head of his cock slid on Dan’s stomach, a maddeningly not-enough friction eased by what was leaking out of the tip -- his brains, probably." Lol. Yup.

Other thought: the physical intimacy scenes are kinda... uneven. (Which is something I noticed in other Davitt novels.) There's been decent tension building but a lackluster "let me help u blow off steam" scene paired with a fabulous "let me watch you but guy says no and ends in the other running out of bathroom" scene.

Aw, me thinks Tyler is the more fucked up one (not that it's a competition). Just hides behind his angry closed-off-ness. Well, I guess they both have issues, just different ones and where they are strong complements the others' weakness.

Aww, what an appealing mix of desperate-for-approval and I've-got-it-and-I don't-need-you.

But still, despite the confidence and humour, Dan seems as if he's hiding a deep vulnerability. And desire for acceptance. Comments such as the one he jokingly, confidently, asks Tyler, "Good riddance to bad rubbish?"

Dan is surprisingly spunky and confident despite his--I'm assuming--rough past.

Lol! The metaphors in this book! They be awesome! No cliches here: "nerves like shredded Kleenex"; "words squeezed out of him like toothpaste."
