Review: I'm sorry to say it didn't work for me

I think I spent the majority of this book feeling confused. That isn't a good thing.I can't even begin to attempt a plot summery. I... yeah... there is just too much going on for me to try that. The gist of it is that there is a murder investigation and two men from two very different cultures, Alex and Bengt, have to work together to solve the crime. There are mafia-like themes and cultural differences that the pair have to wade though in order to get along. While working together, something more begins to develop between the two men.I feel like I had 1,000 questions while I was reading the book. Most were basic, world-building questions. Are the Santuarians and the Skanians the same species? They are right? Maybe? Why is the language of the Santuarians identical to Spanish?? Are they from South American or something? The list goes on and on.Aside from the confusing plot, my big issue with this book was that I didn't feel a connection between the two main characters. I felt no spark between the two, and I was shocked when one started to talk about "love" and feelings of that nature. I felt like the book could have easily been a buddy-buddy murder investigation instead of a m-m romance because that aspect of the story was so underdeveloped. Just cut one scene and you have a straight sci-fi piece.I'm sorry to say that I just didn't get this story. It is safe to say that this was not a hit for me.**This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
