Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I'm sorry I really am,I really REALLY wanted to like it and I could lie and tell you I did but I really didn't and I was always told honesty is the best policy (but please don't hate me,I'm a fragile soul) I had heard amazing things about this book but for me it fell flat. It made me cringe which is half the reason why I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me that is all,but I promise there are so many people out there that adore this book unfortunately I just wasn't one of them.

I did NOT see the whodunnit coming at me, at all! And the WHY!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
First time author, peeps, and I think it’s rather good!
Jefferson is an FBI agent tasked with catching The Smiley Face killer, Mr Smiley (I have no idea why, but that tickled me no end!) Coming face to face with his college room-mate after 8 years, and then Finny getting attacked by Mr Smiley, puts Jefferson in a difficult position. But Jefferson can’t stay away from Finny, not now.
So, couple points.
First, though, well done Ms McKinley, on a job well done. I did NOT see the whodunnit coming at me, at all! And the WHY! Loved being kept on my toes.
It did take me a little while to get into it, and it was touch and go whether I would dump this or not, but I am glad I kept going, I really did enjoy it!
I did feel, though, that I might have enjoyed this more, had there not been any smexy stuff, I really do. I felt the scene before the gala dinner was kinda thrown in, like it NEEDED some smexy, but I really don’t think it did. So, clean, here, might have worked better for ME.
And of course, I wanted to hear from Finny too! Why they fell out, all those years ago was playing on my mind, and what I had was not how it went down. But I needed Finny to tell me why, not Jefferson. Finny had his heart broken when Jefferson went nuts, and I needed Finny to tell me how he dealt with it all, in much more detail than when he is talking to Jefferson. And we don’t get him, we just get Jefferson. Just me, being greedy!
A well thought out plot line, well written, and well delivered.
4 GREAT stars

I wish the two dice were colored more distinct colors. They are an off white and a really light tan and it makes it hard to tell them apart. (0 more)
This game is really unique. I enjoy deck builders and dice games and this combines the two. Instead of building a deck of cards, however, you are altering the faces of a pair of dice to accumulate resources and take actions. I like that you gather resources on all players' turns because it allows you to have enough to do on your turn. This is a competitive game, however there is little you can do that will really hinder anther player's game play. There are some "attacks" but they are more little setbacks for the other player rather than total game changers. Overall, I think this is a really fun game. It takes a little playing before you get the hang of how to change the die faces, but it is really pretty easy once you get it together. I also like the fact that it is a fast game. Since all players are rolling during all the turns, you aren't really waiting for your turn, which is nice.
