I wasn't entirely sure what this was about when I got it from Smashwords. If I remember correctly, it had good ratings and reviews on there which is why I downloaded it.
Unfortunately, I didn't really gel with the storyline or the characters. And I'm not too big a fan of lots of sex in a story, unless there's romance involved in it, and considering I was only 28% (2 page turns to a %) in, about 15%--maybe more--of that must have been him looking at her "f*ck me" boots and her body and touching and kissing and wanting to do more. I get that she's got this allure about her but for me there was a little too much lusty stuff and not enough other plot in it up to that bit.
Oh, and it could do with a good editing.

Some of the William Shatner stuff is funny, apart from that mostly sucks. This is just the same exact movie as the first one almost beat for beat, but worse. Recycles umpteen jokes from the first film, recycles jokes from itself, then recycles jokes that it already recycled from the first film again... time. and. time. again. Take a shot every time this reuses a joke (which mostly consist of bad 'lol sex funny' gags which wouldn't plague American comedic cinema for at least 20 years after this), rips off the first movie, brings in a previous cast member who clearly doesn't want to be there, or says/does something unfunny - you'll be blackout drunk within 15 minutes, tops. Doubly impressive how this manages to be so limp and forgettable considering it's a supposed sequel to one of the most hilarious and memorable movies of all time. Raw cringe.

4.25 stars.
I was dragged in from pretty much the first chapter, where they lock eyes after he gets out of the cop car. You could tell that something big had happened. I could tell from pretty early on that Luke had feelings for Avery and it was these scenes that had me so invested in this story. The sex scenes were so... full of emotions, in my view. I pretty much read for the romances and this was so compelling.
I'll admit I was intrigued about the other half of the story, the murder and all that, but I wasn't quite convinced by the why of it in the end. Why would you group together to do something like that and why all young girls? That bit wasn't explained in my opinion.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed this--mainly due to Luke--and I look forward to reading more of this series.
