BLURB:
Cody Bower and Demetrius Singleton have been friends for over twenty years even though they are polar opposites. Cody is tall, handsome, athletic, and straight, and Demetrius is average height, more of a thinker, and gay. They have started an animal control business together and have to figure out how to be business partners without letting it affect their friendship, but that’s the least of their problems. When one of their first clients ends up brutally murdered in what appears to be an animal attack, the two realize something big and dangerous is stalking their tiny town of Parson’s Hollow, and it’s up to them to catch it before it kills again.
REVIEW:
Friends since kindergarten, Cody and Demetrius (Demmy for short) decide to go into business together and go into humane animal control. Finally getting a job seems like the start of something good but when their client ends up dead before the job is even finished, it signals the start of a nightmare the two friends aren’t equipped to handle. When the creature brutally murdering people sets its sights on Cody and Demmy, they’ll have to thing quick or else the animals they help won’t be the ones in need of saving.
This was so much better than I expected. 🙂 The story starts mostly with a bang and continues on from there; it was entertaining and I really enjoyed the byplay between the two main characters. Cody and Demmy were so different but still worked as friends and I both liked and believed that; I did feel sorry for Demmy having to deal with all of Cody’s past relationships though, especially when they started adding to the already problematic situation. Romance took a backseat to the story, which was nice, but there is also a nice setup for several things to happen in the next book. (I’m still rooting for Cody to pull his head out of his backside but we’ll see.) I really enjoyed this one from start to finish and I can honestly say I hadn’t expected the ending at all. I guarantee no one would guess correctly! I will definitely be looking for the next one to come out.
