A quick read, I didn't think it was that great until about the half way point, when it started to really pick up and I got caught up in the suspense and emotion. I love how this was written with a kind of choppy feel to the scenes. They were rather short and would jump hours over a period of a few days, which gave little snatches into Sean's life, and felt very candid and indie movie-esque.
It was a pretty dark and emotional read once I related to Sean and began to learn his history with break downs and how scary his past year had been. I didn't feel like I had missed out on any of the story, even though it seems like it started after the initial action in the relationship, but instead I liked how this book was different. It was written show more differently than most, it had a different starting point for the plot. It was a bit predictable in that I guessed the villain, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment at all.
And I am now going to go straight into the sequel, as it sounds a bit nerve-wracking as well. Good wishes to Sean and Dan! show less

Fun little mystery with the author strengthening the supposed 'weak' character. It is not so much the MC's self-realisation but more him proving of mettle to those around him.
What strange way to start a novel: the two main characters, Sean and Dan, have met some weeks before, but we read their story after they have decided to live together.
Sean is an actor stalked by a mad fan. Dan is the cop assigned to his case. Now the stalker maybe is dead (not for sure), and Sean and Dan live together. But someone continues to blackmail Sean and he begins to question his relationship with Dan.
Sean is a 25 years old nice guy who has made outing in the worst way: trying to kill himself at the age of 16. Now he has admitted his omosexuality, but still has some problems to deal with sex ("complete" sex) with a man.
Dan is a 35 yearl old liutenant of LA, an arrived man that has no problem to admit his sexuality and with a show more lot of more sex experience than Sean. And he is also an authority figure, who, even if unwillingly, try to control everything and everyone around him.
And Sean has now two big problems to deal with: an new unknown stalker and stopping to acting the role of a gay and beginning to be a gay, unless he doesn't want to lose his lover. And sometimes bet on the dark horse is a winning choice...
