So many plot holes I almost fell through the book. The writing itself was excellent and the characters very well drawn but the premise was trite & the plot predictable. The set up was absolutely ridiculous as I said in my progress notes and the cops were beyond stupid. Even the main guy was an idiot. I loved his bf though and thought their relationship realistic, not love at first site I'm going to die without you. The book was very violent and graphic which might bother some. there was too much detail about each killing and had too many different POVs for my taste.
I think it was good to talk about this online pickup site and talk about sex with strangers without judgment but also without glorifying it because it's realistic and a real though not talked about part of the gay male subculture. This felt like it was written by a gay man (as it was) unlike the vast majority that are written by straight women (many of my favorite stories among them so I'm not dissing them). I like to read those.
The best thing about the book was that the main character said that even if there were a "cure" for being gay he wouldn't take it because there wasn't anything wrong with being gay and he liked who he was. He was then horrified that there could be something that would make him stop liking to suck cock. Awesome!
2.5 stars rounded up because the writing itself really was very good.
