I had passed over this originally because I don't particularly care for sports stories and I was worried that I would be forced to plod through baseball games, etc. I should have known better, there is no plodding in Theo Fenraven's stories!

I liked how the relationship between Devin and Jim developed over time. And although it was clear who the bad guy was from the beginning, simply because there aren't very many characters in the story, that part of the story played out well. I felt that Jorge’s unraveling was done very well, having read a lot of books with serial killer plots, including their inevitable deterioration; it felt very true to that type of storyline. I did think that Devin could/should have been more devastated by the loss of his career but perhaps that could be covered in another installment since this is a shorter story.

I enjoyed Jim’s grandfather; although a somewhat minor character he helped flesh out Jim’s personality. I felt like I was in Florida on a beach while I was reading this as well, never a bad thing! And Devin has a dog; I always love dogs in my stories, more than I don’t like sports in them!

I did have trouble getting into the book at the beginning but it started to pick up the pace about a third of the way through. I did enjoy it after that and the ending was quite chilling (if slightly predictable).

I've read other reviews and the 'non sequitor' thing that was noted struck me as more of a 'thing' couples do, an inside joke, so it didn't bother me at all. 'Piss slit' bothered me more. Seriously. It's so unsexy. Why on earth would you use it in a sex scene? ( )
