Will and Scott are now out and proud and living together in Scott's tiny house. So everything is perfect, right? Wrong...
Scott has a new partner, a new male partner, and Will is not happy about that at all.
A sadistic serial killer is at large, torturing his way through the gay community, but Will and Scott have no leads.
And one of the residents of Laurel Heights has been arrested for murder.
Has it really been two years since Lisa Worrall bowled me over with Scott and Will's story in 'Laurel Heights'? It was such a great introduction to the two men. Gay homicide detectives pretending to be straight, pretending to be gay, and falling in love during the case. There was excitement, humor, and hot sex. What's not to love in that, I ask you? So, for obvious reasons, I was excited when I discovered the author was writing a second story in the series. I was hoping for just as good of a time.
It never ceases to amaze me the despicable manner which human beings can find to kill one another. The latest case, The Castrator, as the press has dubbed him, is a real psycho. Eight young men in the GLBTQ community tortured, beaten, and castrated. It's bad enough that Scott and Will are working this with their respective partners, but considering Scott's new partner is a totally hot guy, isn't helping Will's stress level. Then when they get called to Laurel Heights in the middle of the night to discover one of their friends has secretly been working as an understudy in Jay's sick games, well, it was almost too much. Scott and Will thought all that sickness was behind them when Jay was arrested and sentenced. Now they discover Todd has been abused again, and kept quiet.
There were a couple of storylines working at the same time, and I have to be honest, and say I was a little disappointed. I would've preferred seeing the guys of Laurel Heights happy, and working toward being whole, instead of having the same thing happening again. That is just my personal opinion, however. The serial killer story was good, and I definitely could've read more of that. It was nice to see Will and Scott, again, and I'm still a fan of theirs.
