This book was really intense. Andrew Harding has invited the reader into a world that was supernatural but not too much so the reader was bored or overwhelmed. His main characters Alli and Harvey were a cute couple (admittedly I did have a concern at how fast they got together but the more you read the more you don't care at how fast they fall in love, you just want more).
Andrew Harding did a fantastic job building a solid foundation for the characters and not just jumping into sex or going after the serial killer right off the bat. He took his time and it paid off.
Truly when reading about a supernatural creature like his hybrids as a reader you are expecting something extraordinary and you will not be left wanting. The introduction into the BDSM sex scenes and the progression of the characters relationship and their experimentation with each other was intense. Because their abilities allow them to not be bothered by the pain a normal human would experience they experiment with piercings and other fun bondage scenes. I'm not going to delve too far in here because there is a lot but lets just say that I think if a lot of people could just turn off the pain they'd be going to the nearest tattoo parlor to have a few 'enhancements made.'
Besides the incredible amounts of quality smut being put into this book the hybrid duo are a crime fighting team that are chasing a serial killer. Again, not going to go too much into this because I'd really hate to accidentally leak a spoiler but suffice it to say when you have supernatural creatures that have extraordinary abilities (strength, speed, etc) who can also read minds and in Alli's case, see the dead, you have a very dangerous combination for all criminals out there. The crime scenes described are not for the weak of stomach as Mr. Harding does an incredible job of allowing the reader to practically be there when he is writing about them (this does not just extend to the crime scenes but the entire book).
To say the least, go out and get this book if you have not read it; it's worth it and will definitely make you want to see more of Alli, Harvey (and my favorite for some reason, Jo).
Thank you so much for taking the time to read Split Decision and for your wonderful review. It means a lot when someone who writes erotica likes my work and you've made my day!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the series is HIGHLY visible. I 'saw' the narrative as you did. Cries for a CABLE/FILM production!
