But the blurb for this one intrigued me so I decided to give it a shot.
This book was a much more enjoyable read for me!! It was on the right side of funny/annoying in my opinion. It was an overall fun time and I liked the main characters. ...more

This book had so much happening but it was FUN. Henry is my absolute favourite (even though I wanted to throttle him at times) he's such an interesting character; funny, ridiculous and so misunderstood. I especially loved how Mac just couldn't resist him despite his reservations.
Side note: In this book, Henry disguises himself as a woman and Mac surprises himself by finding it hot . I surprised myself by finding Mac finding Henry dressed in drag hot, hot. So we all learned something today ...more

As usual, Malcolm and Seong-Jae were beyond precious. Malcolm really struggled this book, his trauma that he has tried to bury for two seasons is finally hitting him and there's no running away from it this time. It was so sad to see him at war with himself over whether he wants a positive or negative test result. I can't imagine how scary it must feel to have that hope once again only to be afraid that it will be ripped away from you for a second time. Cole did a magnificent job captivating Malcolm's pain and Seong-Jae's worry.
The corruption at the BPD was revolting to read, it made me so mad. I really hope that when justice is served against Matheson, that all the dirty cops on his payroll get what's coming for them too (I'm looking at you Danford ...more

Sila is the star of the show this episode. We spend a lot of time in his mind, seeing through his eyes the experiences that have led him to this point. We get a glimpse of the truth, the extent of his involvement, his crimes, logic and even his deeply ingrained love for the Golden Ration Killer. Eye-opening and disturbing to say the least!!
This was the definition of rollercoaster of emotions!

What started out as the scariest episode (I was so stressed I had to take a break for a few days because I was too afraid to continue) became one of the sweetest and swooniest episode, only to once again stress me out again with a cliffhanger!

Somehow, though, together they were whole, a oneness apparent to anyone who cared to look; if the world operated on different frequencies, they were on their own, a single wavelength that they and only they shared”
This episode was so stressful but can we just take a moment to admire this quote from Joshi’s perspective ...more

This thing he needed to last forever, this endless miasma of lusciousness and pleasure and an emotion that threatened to crack his rib cage when he wasn’t enough to hold it, his flesh only mortal when this fire was so much more, far beyond. His flesh was burning, his heart the flame. Seong-Jae, the one who ignited him”
Saying I’m obsessed with their love and Cole McCade’s writing would be an understatement ...more

I really felt for Malcolm, his love and desperation for Seong-Jae was so painful to watch as Seong-Jae pushed him away. His attempts to stay patient and reach out kept being denied and it was so frustrating to watch them return to their old patterns. I completely understand where Seong-Jae was coming from and his trauma response but I still wanted to shake him!! Like SIR pleeaaase not again!!! Communicate for the love of god ...more

The air in this book felt heavy from the weight of the gruesomeness of the crimes and I just wanted to give Seong-Jae and Malcolm hugs. Both of them really struggled with the investigation but were able to lean on each other. Their role reversal in sex also had me shooook, I'm curious how this will affect them going forward.
“Latex allergy, and nitrile always cuts off the circulation to my wrists. Seong-Jae’s kind enough to indulge me by keeping latex out of our lives.” This quote killed me!! I am living for Malcolm standing his ground and being possessive of his man. Joshi needs to let it go and focus on the job!
Sila is once again the worst and I wish Min Zhe and Sade would dispose of him already... like murder is wrong but also would not be opposed to Sila being gone.....
There were a lot of different POVs and storylines happening in this story and I'm really curious if by the end of the season they will reconnect. ...more

Even though Malcolm may be more affectionate with his words and able to admit to his love for Seong-Jae, the utter softness and love that radiates Seong-Jae in his actions was just ...more

The case for this one did fall to the background a bit for me (even though it was interesting and creepy per usual) but it's because the personal drama between characters was sucking me in. Seong-Jae is really struggling with his past, trying to hide his demons from Malcolm while Malcolm struggles to trust and understand Seong-Jae. I just want the issues to be resolved and everyone to be happy goddamnit!!!
Also goddamn Sade and that file :( MIND YA BUSINESS DAMN...more

Cole McCade did a phenomenal job of portraying the devastating reality of our poliThis case utterly wrecked me, more than any of the previous crimes. Cole McCade did a phenomenal job of portraying the devastating reality of our police system, that while there are good police officers (like Malcolm and Seong-Jae) who try to uphold the law and protect civilians, the culture of "protecting your own" among police allows for abuse of power and police brutality to occur. It made me so mad that Seong-Jae and Malcolm were ostracized for doing their JOB. It was truly painful to read this one and I really felt for the victim and their family. I was so happy that Seong-Jae and Malcolm were able to solve the case!!
Once again, the sweet moments between the two MCs made me swoon and ease the pain of the crimes. I just want Seong-Jae to be honest with Malcolm as the strain between them continues to grow and I'm afraid that Malcolm will hit a breaking point :( ...more

I really felt for Seong-Jae who was put in an impossible situation and he reacted as best he could. I loved how supportive and patient Malcolm was. I loved meeting Seong-Ja, she was a breath of fresh air that Seong-Jae needed to snap out of his struggles. It was so nice to see another side of Seong-Jae as the protective older brother, his sister was so funny, I hope we see her again! I also loved that Gabrielle has such good instincts... hopefully she stays safe!! ...more
