Review - Madison Square Murders by C.S. Poe
My rating: 
Detective Everett Larkin has an excellent memory. It’s not just photographic. Everett has a very rare quality that allows him to remember everything he sees. Everything he hears. Everything he feels. It may seem like a very good attribute for a cold case detective to have, but the emotional cost is quite high, since any event in his day may send Larkin spiraling back to relieve a past trauma. His latest case proves to be a minefield.

Review - The Taste of Desert Green by Kim Fielding
My rating:
Zephyr has been on his own since he was a boy. He has learned to rely on himself and nobody else. Although comfortable with his body, he likes to express himself in very feminine ways. When he needs money for food or to pay for a cheap hotel, Zephyr offers his body to men willing to pay for it. That doesn’t always work out well. One day, a trucker, full of self-loathing over what he has done, beats Zephyr up and leaves him by a dumpster in a small desert town.

My rating:
Aiden feels trapped in a life that doesn't belong to him. He hates his job, and nothing he does makes his mother happy, yet she expects him to be at her beck and call. When Aiden walks in on his long-term boyfriend in bed with someone else, he decides to take a break from it all. The small seaside town on Australia's Sunshine Coast is about as far away from Dublin as Aiden could get.
