THIS IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER MASQUERADING AS A M/M ROMANCE.

I really enjoyed book 1. I still plan on listening to book 3 since a friend pre-listened to it for me and says it’s not more of this same type of story. Book 2 makes it through 19 chapters before it turns into a mind game story and I can’t tell you how absolutely furious I am about that! I DO NOT EVER read these types of stories because they make me feel intense anxiety bordering on triggering and being blindsided by that is cruel and unacceptable. Especially when book 1 was nothing like that!

The writing is good. The narration is outstanding! Joel does an amazing job with the material, as usual.

I will listen to other books by this author, but only after someone else has done so first because I can’t knowingly put myself through this again.
