Wild book, like gay criminal minds meets x-files. Paige is such a loveable character and CJ sucks; her personality does not match her back story which is frustrating.

The one thing this book has going for it is that the author knows how to write a good sex scene. But following it up with one of the characters talking about her childhood SA trauma a paragraph later was a poor choice. Also, I'm going to assume she never hired an editor, which is a shame. They could have helped her trim unnecessary chapters and go more into what could have helped develop the story more, which would have made this the book this story deserves. Also, PLEASE check trigger warnings if you need to! This book has a lot!
