This novel is something new for me and holy moly. This is an M/M relationship with muscles, death, and fur! Fated mate concepts are my weakness! Eli and Stanley are so cute together. I will be keeping tabs on any other books from T.L.West.

Some very short books work really well, some do not. Unfortunately, this was one that didn't.
The story centres around two men meeting while working on a murder case. There is an instant attraction between them, which again sometimes works well, but in this case, I just didn't buy into it. The murder case doesn't really make much sense either. It gets solved halfway through the book and then there are some other problems that our two heroes face.
With this being such a very short book it was hard to keep track of what was happening and why. It would have benefitted from some world building and that may have also helped us to feel something for the characters. With a bit of fleshing out and a bit more work it probably wouldn't be a bad book. But, it lacks all of that. Just not for me.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Poor plotting with no real flow to the scenes.
There's no chemistry between the MCs, with no relationship or character development.
Multiple pov that only added to the confusion.
There's a ridiculous scene where they have sex in the police station while the station is full of people, and unfortunately that seems to set the standard for the rest of the book.
Not a series I'll continue with.
