I'm a bit disappointed with this book.There were a couple of things I liked. First of all the fact that Julian, the narrator, was almost chaste, while his love interest was a man whore. I wished the sex had happened later and the choice of chastity had been made more relevant. Why insist on it when it's completely disregarded later? I liked the contemporary aspects of the story, not so much when it moved to the paranormal part, even if the concept of the connection between Julian and Ryan was interesting.I would have made the story even shorter, allowing the characters less meaningless chatting. The story worked when it compared the differences between the main characters (Julian = geeky, chaste, with friends, approachable; Ryan = model handsome, promiscuous, with no friends, removed). In my opinion it didn't work well at the end when it involved Julian in Ryan's world.Good concept, not so great execution. I usually can't put Mary Calmes' books down, but this one didn't really hold my attention.
