Omg I love this book so much but I can't write a good review of it. I loved the main character. He's a control freak and a workaholic who feels no guilt about manipulating people for his own purposes. Of course, this lends itself quite well to a particular sort of relationship dynamic. I really liked the meet-cute, if you can call it that. The whole book is great, though. And scary, in that psychological thriller sort of way. Val Toreth is a bright young star at the Investigation and Interrogation division, known for his ability to get information and results out of nearly anybody, whether through charm, sex, or torture. He's assigned the investigation of an up-and-coming company: two people have mysteriously died while hooking into the company's proprietary simulation devices. The investigation is twistier and far more interesting than I expected, and the clues are well placed. (The futuristic dystopia in which all this takes class is equally well put together: information about it comes out casually and naturally through conversations and characters' assumptions.) During this investigation, Val's involvement with one of the company's senior directors, the controlled Dr. Keir Warrick, both tests Val's casual approach to relationships and reveals dark secrets about what's really going on. Fascinating, with a good mix of plot, characterization, and very well crafted sex scenes. I'd expected this to be like the other published m/m erotica I've read, which often feels generic and copy&pasted together. Toreth and Warrick are very distinct individuals; I look forward to reading more of their noirish adventures while trying to survive being under the thumb of the Administration. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

There are no bad guys or good guys. There are only better guys and worse guys. One of the worse guys is Val Toreth. In a world in which torture is a legitimate part of the investigative process, he works for the Investigation and Interrogation Division, where his colleagues can be more dangerous than the criminals he investigates. One of the better guys is Keir Warrick. His small corporation, SimTech, is developing a "sim" system that places users in a fully immersive virtual reality. A minnow in a murky and dangerous pond, he is only beginning to discover how many compromises may be required for success. Their home is the dark future dystopia of New London. A totalitarian bureaucracy controls the European Administration, sharing political power with the corporations. The government uses violence and the many divisions of the feared Department of Internal Security to maintain control and crush resistance. The corporations fight among themselves, using lethal force under the euphemism of "corporate sabotage," uniting only to resist attempts by the Administration to extend its influence over them. Toreth and Warrick are more natural enemies than allies. But mutual attraction and the fight for survival can create unlikely bonds. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The story —middle part in particular— is a bit too heavy regarding the detail level, more than once needlessly.
The suspense plot is VERY good and the last chapters
Chemistry, sex and kinks between Toreth and Warrick are incredible and I cannot wait for going ahead and to see how the incipient feelings develop among themselves. I'm delighted that the first of those feelings be trust, a cautious trust for now but I expect to so much more...
NEXT!
