Spell Cat

This is not a good book, although it kept my attention. I don't think I'll read this author again. It has all the kinds of disrespectful jokes and insensitivity that I hate; for example, Killian thinks the fact that he's gay is a genetic flaw, which is just a sidenote to everything else. There is also a running joke about how the cat is bisexual and a “whore.” Surprisingly, it's not too bad in its treatment of women.

Aside from those kinds of things, the plot was vague. I don't understand how certain secrets were kept for so long. I also never got the impression that Killian actually cared about Blaine in the same way that Blaine cared about him - like, being concerned about how Blaine actually felt. Killian keeps walking away from Blaine, yet he never thinks, “This must be painful for Blaine.” Yeah, I didn't enjoy this book.

Trigger warning: There is a detailed scene of sexual assault (not between the main couple). Killian consents to a specific sex act with someone, and the guy forcefully does things Killian did not agree to.
