Outcome

Even before I started reading the sequel of 'Aftermath' I had a feeling I would drop it. I managed to read three chapters, but this book really missed the spot.

There are no flashbacks and I thought that would be a good thing, but instead I got even more tell, not show.

I have mixed feelings about Chase being friends with Austin and Cam. While I'm glad they became friends, the friendship felt forced.

What I also didn't like in these three chapters were Remy's supposedly addiction to drugs (not actually an addiction because he only did drugs on weekends...) and how Chase's first reaction, when seeing a tired, clearly troubled Remy on the run in only his underwear, was to drool over him instead of helping him.

I also didn't like how Chase's employee was portrayed (forgot her name). Both her and Remy were objectified and I really didn't enjoy reading that. I can read objectifying but context is very important, here it really wasn't appropriate or relevant.

I thought I might pick up this book again because the pairing, the idea of the pairing, seemed interesting, but I don't think I will find anything I can enjoy so much as to justify what I didn't like.

4.5
