The book was supposed to be a crime book but there were so many other things going on. When thinking of the book I always remember the friendship between the 2 main characters than the murders.
As the author split the chapters between the 2 main characters so we got to hear from both of them. How different the 2 lives were considering how close they are.
I really felt sorry for 'Momti' and how she has been given the life she has. She tries to hard but it seems she is destined to go the same way all the other young women she meets throughout the story. My dislike of Sacha grew as the book went on. He was given a good life and seemed to throw it away.
I'm glad it followed the 2 characters from childhood through to adulthood as it gave me a chance to see what they become after the childhoods they lived. Just goes to show that whatever childhood you have, you have the power to chance your future and become what you want to become.
I would say this book has such a large target audience. It can be read from teenagers to people in their 40s.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

By which I mean it picks up almost instantly after the ending of the previous - which, correct me if I'm wrong, is also the first time Butcher has done so? - with Harry, Karrin, Lara and co racing back to Chicage from Demonreach island just as the Fomor launch their all-out invasion.
Cue roughly 300 pages dedicated solely to how that plays out. And I mean 300 pages of action scene after action scene, with all the drivers for the plot laid back in Peace Talks. The other 100 pages or so are the aftermath of this; the fallout, if you will.
Truth be told, you do tend to get a bit punch drunk after a while, which is why I haven't rated this as highly as I usually would for a Dresden Files story.
Well, that, and there's also a shocking event round about the halfway mark, which nearly had my jaw hit the floor ...
I think Jim Butcher had used the title 'Changes' previously, for book number 12 in the series. If that title hadn't already been taken, and if he had been looking for another title for this, it would have fitted like a glove.

Ryan's best friend is getting married and is expecting him and his boyfriend to attend. However, Ryan and Devon split up. They didn't tell her because she is superstitious. So attending the wedding with Devon in tow is a necessary evil he has to put up with for a few days. But meeting the most gorgeous man he ever saw puts a spanner in the works. Harry finds Ryan attractive, but he's got a boyfriend, right? Then it's a matter of him NOT having a boyfriend and keeping their fling from the bride. Simples, right?
This is one of those books, that you can just fall into, wile away a couple of hours and be happy you did.
It's funny: lots go wrong for the bride, and she loses her sh8t about a lot of minor things and it's great watching Ryan bringing her down.
It's not ever so steamy: but I did like that. Ryan and Harry have chemistry right from the start, but it's not until Harry catches Devon in a clinch, do they act on it. Oh, there is heat and passion, but the steam level is just right for this book.
Emotional: Devon is a bit of a wiley one and plays on Ryan's good nature and his fame, such as it is. And Ryan needs to get past that before he can commit.
One last thing, I've tagged it HFN. WHile Ryan and Harry are together, I think they have more to say!
A thoroughly enjoyable 4 star read.
