I was looking forward to Julian and Lily, and it was a fun read with the #ButDoTheyBang book club. Lily is deaf to a childhood illness, and discovering Julian's mother was deaf, and was raised in a community of others who spoke sign language, was a lovely plot point to include.

The mystery about the killer the arced through this series was meh for me, but I also am not a big mystery reader, so YMMV.

Julian's double life was also intriguing, and the sexy times were super fun!
