Well this book started off just like a dark and delicious tale. I was ready for it all and the Joe Hill blurb on the front made me even more excited. Unfortunately, I only found myself really enjoying the first chapter. The rest of the story was this Gothic tale of two men who could not decide who was in charge. It was like a gay sexual encounter with two tops. I really wanted more... while I DID love the writing style of the author, I just could not connect with the story anymore after the first chapter and a half. I'll try something else by the author for sure. 2 stars for this one, though.
