Ratings and reviews

The first thing I want to say is that this romance/thriller is more for the LBGTQ community than for a wider audience. Had I known this from the beginning I would not have chosen this book, even if it is free. I don't usually enjoy reading stories from that culture, but this story was OK. The 3 stars are for the story itself. The author managed to tell a great thriller and include not only the subtleties of the Japanese culture in Kyoto, but also the subtleties and machinations of the Yakuza as well.

wow what a great page turner I would highly recommend this book. this book kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next now on to...... better than suicide book 2.

full of imagery, page-turning, and despite a lot of chapters, it really leaves the readers thirsty for more. Plus points on making "yaoi" not awkward.
