I am a huge fan of Andrea Speed's Infected series, so I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately I was disappointed. There was simply way to much going on in it's 130 pages. We meet Bren and Dar. Bren is a Demi God who is suffering from amnesia and Dar is his guardian angel/boyfriend. I thought this is a fun premise and a great way for us to learn what is going on along with Bren, but his memory issue is quickly and magically solved and we mere mortal readers are left in the dark.Bren and Dar are in love. Deeply. How this happened we don't get to see, and we although there are a few "tender" moments between the two we don't learn what the two actually love about each other. There are also a a lot of Gods, from different pantheons but we don't really get to learn their relationships to each other aside from they hate each other or they get along. Nor do we get to learn the motivations of the Gods. This story was filled with great ideas, but it read like every great idea thought up was incorporated into the book, leaving the story jumbled and disjointed. If this becomes a series I may give the next book a try if I have nothing else to read, but I won't be looking out for it.
