Well this is mostly sex to me, but it is well written and Darwin is such a likeable badass! And it is to be continued...It is the short story of two young students, early twenties. There is Peter, the genius who has a scholarship to study metaphysics sciences. He is very serious and pure as in high morals and virgin. He loves Darwin and Darwin only, but he wants to wait before consuming their love.And there is Darwin. Darwin is something else. His only interest in life is Peter. Since he can't have Peter, he fills in the void with drugs and sex. He is a real badass, with no conscience at all unless he is doing something that concerns Peter. Peter is is reason for living, his compass, his conscience, his everything. It is endearing and painful to see at the same time.Something terrible will happen in the book to make them finally get together sexually. It is sad that they had to go so low to finally "get high". I gotta give it to Adrienne Wilder...she is smart. I was given this book and Secrets (part #2) for free from Ms. Wilder and now she has me hooked. I had never heard of these books or this author, but free is free, so what did I have to lose? What I didn't realize is that these are short stories in a continuing series. How many books will there be? I wish I knew. I have now bought the third book and the 4th book is on my wish-list. It is unusual the way this story unfolds. We are slowly learning about the characters and the world they live in as it goes along. I only realized, as I was reading this, that this is set in a paranormal world. It is briefly mentioned in this book, but doesn't come into play in this first story, so therefore really isn't explained. The main thing that we learn is that Darwin and Peter love each other, unconditionally. It is such a sweet love. Darwin is tough, worldly and experienced with a devil-may-care attitude, but here he is, madly in love with sweet, innocent, pure Pete. How can I not fall in love with both of them and root for their never-ending happiness? I just hope that it comes soon.
