This book is a slow starter, so much in fact that about 30% in, I wasn’t sure if I should finish it. But I’m stubborn and like to stick it out, so that’s what I did. I did take a little break and came back to it a few days later. When I picked it back up, I dove right in and a lot of the questions I had were answered and the story really picked up. I finished it that day!

This book is probably the first LGBTQ book I have read, and I will definitely be reading more. I fully support the LGBTQ community and this book helped give me a deeper understanding of the things they face every day, things I’d never even realized.

This book doesn’t have a ton of reviews, I think it’s a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a good cop thriller with ties to the LGBTQ community then give this book a shot! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
