At first I had a hard time with it. I felt a little scattered at first putting it all together. By the end I was invested in the characters. I would really love to see the next phase in the story for Kai.
In many ways this story reminds me of another Infected: Prey. Not in total but in some ways Kai is like Roan just less sexually involved with a "someone". Though it is reminiscent of the Infected series the focus is different. Kai is more starting his life journey and Roan is a long way through his.
The author does a good job of setting up the world and giving you a glimpse into it. The details that is given in describing the scenes is interesting and helps us to understand the complicated world these characters exist in.
The characters are still coming together for me. I don't totally understand some of the motives and thoughts of the people and the circumstances that they are found in. I think by the end it starts to all come together.
I believe the next book will improve upon this book.
Re-listen: After some time away and listening to the second book some time ago I have come back to listen to the book again. Though I still believe my original review, I think I was hasty in it. I am upping the stars to 5 because I have so enjoyed the book.

Light, and sweet. This was more of a 2.5 star but I rounded it up. I loved the Little aspect of the story and how the two men came from way different Light, and sweet. This was more of a 2.5 star but I rounded it up. I loved the Little aspect of the story and how the two men came from way different experiences to it. The thing that sticks with me, and this might be because it was an audible read for me, was how the book made Izzy so...simple. The man had been through a lot and still came through but the story made him seem simple. He came out sounding like a child from the beginning. Yes, he is a Little but that doesn't make him a child. It made the story really crash for me. It became a very one dimensional read. ...more

I was reluctant to start this series but have really enjoyed each book. I shouldn't be surprised since it is Rhys Ford. Ivo was of course awesome. StiI was reluctant to start this series but have really enjoyed each book. I shouldn't be surprised since it is Rhys Ford. Ivo was of course awesome. Still the more interesting part of the story was Ruan's growth. He goes from barely being out of the closet at work to acceptance of all of Ivo, the relationship and more. It was a really compelling book....more

Having some would have helped in understanding what was going on. Second there is a lot of repletion that isn't needed. The book could have used a really good editor. If there had been a bit more world building alone I would have bumped this up at least a star. Having said that it is cute. I liked the basic plot. The two MCs had a rough go in life and they still managed to gleam a bit of hope out there to go on. Lovely underlying ideas. ...more

I thought the story lagged in places but otherwise the story was really good. I thought the journey the men make to learning more about themselves was interesting. I really thought that Jem waited way too long the forgive Cador. Cador was great in giving everything for Jem. Jem was the one that grew soo much though in this one. Overall the story was really fun and interesting. I loved it despite the lags. ...more
