The writing is, in general, much more straightforward and down to earth. But it’s an interesting and distinctive bit of writing, and fortunately (at least in the eyes of some) not reflective of the tone of the narrative. The last thing I personally want out of a crime thriller/dark comedy hybrid is something that feels like a labored effort at literary style. Full, fat reddish moon, the night as light as day, the moonlight floodingĭown across the land and bringing joy, joy, joy.įirst, a confession…Had this book not been recommended to me, I may have stopped reading right there. Here’s how the story unfolds in the first 50 pages. ![]() Ross’s Take: Though Darkly Dreaming Dexter was a book that I feel could have been improved, there’s a good deal the author does quite well in terms of pacing, story setup, drawing readers into the world of this story, and setting the stage for a series of books that later became a successful TV series. He’s a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likable: He only kills bad people.

Bree![]() ![]() And now, a spoiler alertfor the rest of this review, because I can't help it. ![]() While the steam takes a STEP UP in this book, it doesn't distract from the plot. For a reverse harem, it truly focuses on the relationships between Oli and the Bonds, and not just the sex. ![]() All of their individual histories and personalities, and how strong they are when they bring all together. This series' strength is the bonds that tie these characters together. I'm not sure how North fits into it with his position, how high in the hierarchy he is, but I guess its not important? I'm assuming pretty high, considering all he gets away with. This book continues the flaws in this series, in regards to world building, but I'm pretty sure I have put enough information together to know how this world works. So with the title called Forced Bonds, I won't lie, I was fucking nervous, but it was okay. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Following is a sampling of highlights from Patrick's life and an excerpt from his confession of faith.
