I’m not going to write much of a review here since this is a serial and I don’t have much of a story to go on just yet. I hate that so far I’m only able to give it 3 stars, because I love all of R.K.’s earlier stuff, but I just haven’t connected to either one of these characters.Dair is fine enough, I guess. He doesn’t seem to have much sense, and he seems to have a slight problem with premature ejaculation. I know that it’s supposed to speak to how “hot” and “tight” and “toned” Iris is, but after the first time I was starting to think the poor old guy needed to see a doctor, but for the love of god don’t give him Viagra. I feel like I don’t have much of an idea of what is going on because 90% of the book was the two of them having sex in some form or fashion. Certain parts of it were certainly hot but it was so ubiquitous that I began to find myself skimming.I really don’t like Iris so far. She seems irresponsible, flighty, and quite frankly, like a bit lot of a slut. I haven’t connected to her at all. She seems like a user and a drifter. I’m trying to reserve judgement at this point because there is still much of this story to be told but I can’t say I’m looking forward to it which is not at all what I was expecting.There was also a little exchange between Dair and Iris about pro-indie publishing and anti “blood-sucking publishers” that I thought was in poor taste and kind of rubbed me the wrong way.  I’m also not huge on this being a serial. I’ve seen more of these lately and I hope this is a fluke and not a trend.  I really hope the next installment changes my mind.
