Boys will love boys

nessreader: Written by frasier scripter. High velocity farce, fab dialogue

nessreader: Grumpy insecure crime writer in locked room mystery. Am fond of narrator, other reviews say he's whiney.

nessreader: So. Many. Tropes. Secret passages good twin/evil twin storms accenting emo drama demented parent angst and more angst. Written when most lesgay novels ended w at least half the queer couple dead, this was daring. But so overwrought. Watch out for hammy auld illiterate oirish nanny

nessreader: A joy for a slashfan, so funny about cheesy but compulsive tv.

nessreader: Angsty pirates.

nessreader: I love the fantasy world i love the characters but this reads like late draft not finished book. Weird structure, gap in middle. Worth reading though. Because the dynamic between the demon and the inquisitor is compelling. And the gormenghast noir of the setting, ditto.

nessreader: As a regency romance, bit cliche-tastic. Adequately written. But look at that cover, jesus.

nessreader: I like the hero a not especially reflective guy who sees the best in people and makes friends easily. He also is drawn toward corpses, thus the homicide plot

nessreader: I love the hero whose monosyllabic ways conceal how out of his depth he feels and who is swirling in trauma at every point in the series. Think the worldbuilding happened on the hoof, some inconsistencies about relatice difficulty of hearing/seeing ghosts, how vic measures vs other mediums, etc. To be fair between dope taking and caginess, vic is world's most unreliable narrator
