Bones is a charming bootleg version of Spike
Upon reading the author's note at the end about how Cat was originally written to be 19 so many things made more sense
I liked the side characters and I hope they are recurring characters later in the series
The plot was a little too self-contained for me and the ending hook is not interesting me at all but I will likely read the rest of the series
They didn't get together right away but it very much felt like insta-love which is not my preferred relationship trope

Con's: From page one it felt like rough Spike and Buffy fanfic.
The plot and the characters all felt underdeveloped
The romance didn't build believably, and the dialogue was painful at times, especially the awful British slang from Bones
Catherine irritated me so much with her hypocritical slut shaming, and the relationship with her mother was just infuriating
I won't be continuing, disappointing since I wanted to like this

Obviously based on Buffy and Spike. Sex was just ok. Story was predictable. Some of the banter was entertaining.
Did not finish during Shiftathon. I keep picking books for readathons that I'm not very excited to read.
