Review: One stupid decision after another...
Rating: 2 out of 5

I'm sorry, but I really did not like this book at all. Neither character, Gordon nor Adam (nor any of the secondary characters), was the least bit sympathetic, and only vaguely interesting.I didn't find Gordon realistic-- he was just constantly making bad decisions and never learning from them. Sure, there are tons of people making stupid decisions in real life, but I don't want to be reading about them.  If he was a survivor, it was totally not due to his own actions.I didn't feel as if there was much of a plot-line. I didn't feel any building of suspense. I could pretty much see whatever was coming down the line and it didn't seem to have much dramatic build-up or impact. Adams's past didn't seem to reveal much about his personality. And nothing much was revealed about Gordon as the story progressed.There WAS some chemistry between the two MCs, and a couple of hot sex scenes, but that's not good enough for me if I don't care about the characters. I did care a little for Adam, but I ended up truly despising Gordon. I didn't find him sassy, just obnoxious. I guess he's just not a personality that had any appeal to me.I had heard good things about In the Company of Shadows, but now I'm not sure if I would like reading it...
