In this book, I found him to be an interesting character, but a sad one with that double life and his outlook. But it only made me curious to see how Lanyon develops him further.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-70058426849611426142010-04-25T18:33:31.881-04:002010-04-25T18:33:31.881-04:00I'm so glad you liked it!

I can't wait to see how Lanyon develops Jake. I already read the 2nd book and can see why he draws readers.<br /><br />"The Hell You Say" is next for me, can't wait to get to it!Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-43514374156067904002010-04-24T18:07:40.566-04:002010-04-24T18:07:40.566-04:00What I most enjoyed about Lanyon's writing in ...What I most enjoyed about Lanyon's writing in this series is that the author takes his time in the development of Jake's character. With each book we learn more and more about him. In my review of the series I referred to it as Lanyon's slow peeling back of Jake's layer. He is a complex character, as is Adrien, but we learn Adrien up front he's not hidden. I liken it to two mysteries within each book, that of the crime mystery and that of Jake. <br /><br />While I loved the series as a whole, Book #3 <i>The Hell You Say</i> I think is my favourite both in terms of the mystery crime and character development, followed by the final book #5 <i>The Dark Tide</i>.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the rest of the series Hils. <br /><br />IndiIndigenehttp://cboy-junkie.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-7698284316984814072010-04-24T08:20:34.405-04:002010-04-24T08:20:34.405-04:00Novelnelle, I just finished A Dangerous Thing too ...Novelnelle, I just finished A Dangerous Thing too and I agree. It's a great sign for a series when the first one is a great base and then they get better & better. :) I hope you get the other ones soon, I already have the whole series, thank goodness!Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-7221101854262107452010-04-24T08:16:39.455-04:002010-04-24T08:16:39.455-04:00Natalie, this an excellent Gay Fiction mystery ser...Natalie, this an excellent Gay Fiction mystery series. This first book is great. I hope you give it a try. I'm hoping we'll get together in May again! Yay!<br /><br />Lover of Romance, I hope you're enjoying the M/M Romance genre. The Adrien English Mysteries series is quite popular, and from what I understand an outstanding one. I'm glad I finally started on it. Great writing. :) Thanks for following! :D<br /><br />Nath - Awww, you should ask them to get it for you. You definitely need book 1 to get to know Adrien. <br /><br />Renee, I really enjoy mysteries and I enjoyed that aspect of this book. But, I loved the characterization, Adrien's in this book. I already read A Dangerous Thing, lol, and can tell you that I can see the slow-build for Jake is on. I'm definitely going to enjoy this one. :DHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-70861538186806854052010-04-24T08:13:13.375-04:002010-04-24T08:13:13.375-04:00I read this first two books in the series earlier ...I read this first two books in the series earlier this year and the second one is even better.

Obviously, Jake has some <i>major</i> growth ahead, but I also love the fact that Adrien, in a much more subtle fashion, grows along the way as well.<br /><br />You have much great reading ahead of you, Hilcia!
