That was the first 30%, the writing was good, I was in book heaven! then… then… poof! The story took a nosedive. So far we got, BROCEST! TWINCEST! WEREWOLVES, SERIAL KILLER! I was like, who did I bribe? The book gods are on my side. We meet Ezekiel the tough determined FBI agent and his twin brother Jacob, they also have a relationship going on, and they are werewolves. Rainer kissed him back, moving away from the doorway partition to back him into the living room, his hands pulling at Thomas’s shirt until he got it untucked, then moving to yank open his belt Thomas met him, backed him up against the doorway and kissed him. Rainer set his glass down and walked around the counter to him. Then BOOM! BAM! This! And I am dead! Deceased! Goner!Ĭome here,” Thomas said. He was the owner of and executive chef at the posh Centzon Totochtin restaurant. Rainer’s brother Thomas lived in a house in Hancock Park. then a couple of pages we meet Rainer’s brother. He had told Rainer that his name was Jack at the club where they met. The man Rainer was feeding to them was bound and gagged, staked to the ground with his arms over his head and his legs together. The coyote darted forward to snatch it up and retreated again from the fire. Rainer cut off a thick, red strip of meat and tossed it to Aeolus. I mean, read the blurb, isn’t it just beautiful! you can’t help but picture a dark, FBI-serial killer crime/mystery story, then look at this beautiful quote at the beginning of the book! I really wanted it to be good! expectations! expectations! Oi! it went all wrong! It’s NOT ME! it’s the book.
WARNING! RANT! UNPOPULAR OPINION! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS but the GOOD KIND. “Which one of us isn’t? That’s the real question.” They’re more alike than either of them suspect and soon Ezekiel gets pulled in deeper than he thought possible, past the point of no return. Rainer sees in him the perfect adversary. But Ezekiel presents him with a new opportunity, a challenge… a game. The serial killer the media has dubbed The Lamplighter has been dormant because Rainer’s heart just isn’t in it anymore. Sometimes even a psychopathic serial killer gets tired of killing people and that’s where Rainer is when Ezekiel walks into his office and stirs things up. Then he meets him and gets a glimpse behind the carefully crafted mask Rainer wears every day to the monster he is at heart. Rainer Bryssengur is only a professor of English and Ezekiel doesn’t expect to gain any insight from him into his case, only to cross him off the list as a person of interest. Special Agent Ezekiel Herod knows the game well, but he’s never played it quite like this before. “We’re playing Murder in the Dark, Agent.”
