I read the e-book versions of HELL and FAITH. Which I hope are the same as the paperback version. Complete reviews below:
HELL
This was perhaps my second favorite Heaven Sent book. The character of Brent really had a lot to deal with and I love reading about that. Hell was a great addition to Heaven Sent and to what Brent was about. I liked the fact that Heller Witting was German. You don't see a lot of German characters in romances [at least I don't:]. The descriptive of puple hair and violet eyes kept throwing me off but it was something new and different. Unexpected.
What I was expecting [the inevitable romance break-up to make-up:] really struck me hard. I nearly was in tears. The relationship was slowly built up before any sex took place. It's amazing how connected you become to a character when that happens. The infatuation on Hell's part was so adorable. Brent's subsequent denial/depression was well written and accurate. It was not just a few words and then they were back together. It was really believeable that Brent was suffering.
Brent is very shy. To the point of being panicked at the sight of large crowds of fans. Hiding behind his shades helps a bit. Heller "Hell" Witting is a force of nature. Almost feminine with his diminuative features and small stature.
Jet has not disappointed me with this series. The tone changes with every book. I don't know what to expect when the focus is on one particular character. They all are unique and overall are edible enough to read over and over again.
FAITH
To have finished Hell and Faith within hours of each other, wow. What's that say for ease of reading, or like of material. Whatever the case I am so crushing hard for the HS boys. I love how they love each other. There is no confusion [for the most part:] about their feelings for men. I like a good, heavy emotional tug but not every time I read romance.
The fusion of lightheartedness, erotic sex, and gay exceptance really makes this work of fiction a true work of art. I love the idea of all the band members being gay and yet it doesn't affect thier fan base. It works for them. I love how everything always works out and it's fairly believable.
Ok so Darien [drummer:] is like the cheerleader of the group. Not like go team but really animated and talkitive. Chris Faith is a British friend of Hell's who is also a lawyer and helps Darien with his legal issues. Darien, of course, has flirted with men and leads the press into believing he may be bi, but he's never wanted to actually sleep with a guy. Until Chris. And, oh goodness I loved reading their intial pre-love scene. How Darien was reacting to Chris. Darien being sure of Chris's sexual preference for men but unsure if Chris liked him. He was beyond dangling the carrot in front of Chris until Chris finally caved.
Their eventual break-up wasn't as heart wrenching as Brent and Hell's. Darien and Chris's relationship was not as established before they were intimate. So I was not not too torn when that happened. The build-up always works better for me but depending on the character I can go with casual. Overall this was another great addition to the Heaven Sent series.
I rarely get the chance to do this [read a series back to back:], but I am out of town and only have my e-books keeping me company. Up next BOOK 5: Genesis
