I battled my way through this story and came close to giving up entirely. The author did a great job in developing the very likeable characters. I found the story to be too cluttered with unnecessary school and dance club information that added nothing to the mystery or solving it. The other big turn off for me was that the story ended with a "to be continued". I paid enough for a full length book and feel that I should have gotten it. ( ) Skyler Foxe is glad to have scored a job teaching English at his old high school. He enjoys teaching, loves literature, and cares for his students. But he feels he needs to keep the fact that he's gay under wraps. There could be backlash in his conservative community, and it's really not the school's business at all, is it? But Skyler's world turns upside down when he discovers a dead body in an alley behind a night club when he's out on what should be a typical Friday night. And the victim has an unexpected connection to Skyler's school. What follows is a series of events that leave him questioning what exactly is going on at James Polk High. Could a student be involved? Or is it the domineering football coach? Or what about the mysterious new biology teacher and assistant football coach who makes Skyler melt just by walking into the room? Despite warnings from his detective friend, Sidney, Skyler is determined to do what he can to solve the case and find out who's responsible--even if he puts himself in danger in the process. This is definitely an entertaining read. There are some interesting twists and turns for sure. And it's not something that's going to take you deep into any sort of philosophical or emotional issue. If you like a mystery with some light humor and a cast of interesting side characters, this will be a book for you. My only real complaint is the ending. This is part of a series, so I know the story continues, but it was building up--in my opinion--to a reveal on another important incident that happened but then ends before giving it to readers. I'm guessing it's the subject of the next book, and I'll be picking that up to read it. I just felt a bit let down because it wasn't addressed though it felt like it should be... First off this is not a romance, it's a mystery story with a gay lead. I said in one of my status updates it's like a gay Hardy Boys or QAF meets the Famous Five. The romance, such as it is, barely gets started in the last 5% off the book, which btw ends on a TBC. Never fear, nobody is in mortal peril and the main mystery is solved, however a second mystery that has weaved its way into the first has yet to be solved, a minor character is in hospital and there is still something suspicious going on with the love interest. I'm going to go straight on to the next book. First off this is not a romance, it's a mystery story with a gay lead.
