I love
reading bad boys. Darwin is a different type of bad boy though. He’s not the
take charge kick everyone’s ass alpha male. In fact for the past six years he’s
been hollow, missing someone he desperately wants in his life on a deeper
level. So he’s been filling in the emptiness with drugs, meaningless sex, and dangerous
nights in the Gray Zone and a dark broody bad attitude. He does have a one
bright spot in his life, Peter. Peter is his roommate, best friend, and the man
he loves. Darwin goes to crazy lengths to protect and defend Peter. Darwin finally
benefits from his defensiveness of Peter. When Darwin takes revenge out on
someone who caused harm to Peter, it finally pushes their relationship into new
territory.
Wilder
has created an amazingly unique version of Atlanta. Even though this is a
complex world it is written so well that it is easily understood. There is some
unique terminology, also easily understood just by reading the context of the
sentence. This dark version of Atlanta is also known as the City of Dragons.
The Kin (dragons) and their not full blooded relatives the Lesser-Bred are
forced to live behind the Wall in the Gray Zone. As with the world, Wilder also
creates amazing characters. Darwin and Peter are so realistic and so likeable.
They have real life problems and drama and it really fleshes them out as
humans. The romance, extreme crush that leads to romance is fast paced and very
intense.
Be sure to check out her website. She does her own covers, thus there are plenty of illustrations of her characters. I love being able to put a face to a character I'm reading about.
