In this second book by Keta Diablo, Rand is going to college and living with Frank. The book opens up with a sadistic serial killer in the house of one of Rand’s classmates, and is killed.

This second story starts off running and does not let up. It is a novella, but like book one, it is a suspenseful, sexy thriller.

Frank is in love with Rand, but refuses to give into this side of his self. He tries to maintain a strong façade, yet he keeps having visions of Rand’s death. When he gets called in to help with the investigation of the killings, he finds out that the man who killed his partner escaped jail, and is after Frank.

Fearful for Rand’s life, Frank sends him back to his mother, which was a mistake, because there are two stalkers going after two very different things.

This is another look into the life of Frank who is somewhat psychic and is tough as hell. He sometimes struggle with his feelings for Rand, but overall he is a protector. This book is definitely character driven.

The sex scenes between the men are about dominance and submission. But underneath their play, is a love that runs deep.

While not a super complex story, it is reminiscent of a film noir: the hard boiled detective and the gritty underbelly of certain denizens who stop at nothing to kill their next victims.

Bottom line I give the story a 4. For such a short novella, it reads fast and keeps pace from beginning to end. It is intense but never tender, not even Rand. Don’t let it pass you by!
