The pacing of these books is so bizarre. As in, it’s a mystery but it’s very nearly a slice of life book. There’s large chunks of book where the mystery takes a backseat to Gideon and Lee figuring out their relationship. Additionally, there’s things this series does that I don’t care for in mysteries, but because this series is really more about Lee and Gideon and their life, it kind of works for the series?

It’s a strange mystery series. But like I said, it kind of works.
