( ) Ultimately, I enjoyed this installment. But early on these numbskulls were irritatingly incapable of having a full conversation, and I was about ready to quit the series. The only person capable of a good relationship is Adrien's mother, and she is a manipulative bi--person. Anyway. Progress was made in the worst possible way--hat's off to the author for that. Whew. Part 1 of 2 of the Adrien and Jake separation makes the heart grow fonder game. [Edited to correct the previous erroneous wording: Christ Patton makes these characters come alive and the humor really stands out with his narration. Loving the audios of these books. I do so like Adrien. He just picks lousy boyfriends. I just want to bring him home and wrap him in big sheets of bubble wrap. I haven’t forgiven Jake...the man that really owns Adrien’ heart... but I no longer really, really, really hate him with a fiery passion after reading this book. This is not to say, I still very much really, really, really disliked Jake for the majority of this book. This entire series is sending me very mixed feelings about him.... which I suspect is really Josh Lanyon’s evil intentions. The story is told solely in third-person from Adrien’s point of view, so Adrien’s conflicted feelings about Jake are all we really see and experience. Two years have passed since the explosive ending of the last book and Adrien hasn’t seen Jake in those two years. He is now dating Guy... the witchcraft professor who had once been a murder suspect himself Guy is quite considerate and sweet, but lacks the passion that Adrien had and still wants, with Jake. When a murder at a party puts Adrien at yet another crime scene of Hollywood’s elite, Adrien winds up in the same vicinity as Jake. Adrien perhaps has the worst luck of anyone I’ve ever read about. He’s an unwitting amateur sleuth who ends up in the middle of every murder. I love this series and had waited three months while my library tried to get the last three books in the series for me. At this writing I am still waiting for the last one. I so far believe that this is the best book of the series. There’s not really any place where the story gets bogged down by too much information, and the characters are all so very intriguing. Adrien also has some heavy contemplations about his mortality in this book. His heart is doing poorly, and it seems like he’ll need surgery soon and to make matters more dreadful, Adrien keeps everything to himself ...since the only person he ever confided in was Jake...who now is not there for him. While he’s freaking out, the only one he can really talk to is the stray cat he’s adopted...or had adopted him. I have personally found that cats are excellent listeners and always are willing to dish out advise. Hopefully Ms. Lanyon is not planning on killing off our Adrien! Fans will be happy to see that this book is populated with visits from other old friends from earlier books in the series, in particular Adrien's newly acquired step-family and a few old friends that were more than friends. Much more is going on with the plot now. This book had many surprises. Starting with the 2-year gap after book 3. Both Adrien and Jake changed so much in that 2 years, it made an interesting reunion. I dare say this might be the most romantic book (and couple) the author has ever written. I enjoyed it very much. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt but definitely not uneventful. XD Mind blown.
