I have mixed feelings on this book. on the one hand, it’s exactly what I wanted – funny, gay, paranormal romance. on the other hand, the writing is definitely uneven. The author is very good at witty banter and interactions. However, they do too much telling and not showing. it starts with a cumbersome explanation of the lore and world building, then becomes hilarious. then it will revert back to the explanations again.
overall I choose to focus more on the witty banter amd enjoy this book, but i was periodically annoyed by the writing.
as always I love Joel Leslie, but I do feel like maybe they sped up his performance because he talks soo fast throughout. this is meant to show the MC is anxious and is for comedic effect, but it can feel a tad manic. I’m still interested in the next book, though.
