DING, DING, DING!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!
^^^^^
This be me right now!!
I'm a very happy kitty lover!!
I absofuckinglutely loved this book. I've kind of been putting off reading this for a while. There is one very big reason and lots of little ones but now all I keep thinking is that I'm a total moron and should start putting on my big girl pants more and read the things I know are going to hurt but are probably going to be awesome. I say this every time I read something that I love that I have been putting off because of potential hurtz but this time I mean it dammit!!
So...
One of the things that kind of put me off was that I had heard there was a distinct lack of romance in this. Roan and Paris are an established couple and there is no, I repeat no, smexy times at all in it. But here is the thing, I've learned that smexy time does not equal romance and the 'meet cute' and blossoming relationship does not equal romance. I personally thought that these two were two of the sweetest most romantic couples I've read. They were so adorable and their love for each other was clear to see. They were just lovely without being sickly about it.
"You are so funny. You do know I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, right? Well, admittedly, I never really loved anyone before, but saying that blunts the impact. I know you've got the whole hard-boiled detective thing going on, but I know what you're really like. I know that under all that armor you're the most decent man I've ever met. You're my hero."
Before I discovered mm one of my most read and most favourite genres was Urban Fantasy. This is out and out Urban Fantasy and it is the business. The world building, the cases, all of the characters, I'm hooked. Roan has the potential to totally turn my world upside down and I've decided to let him.
"I'm the king of fucking cats. I'm the alpha male."
"I wonder if I wanted you, or if it wanted the tiger."
"I've just wanted to believe I was more than a virus, but I don't think I can deny it anymore. I am my disease; I'm not sure I'm all that human."
I'm in the middle of a reading challenge but as soon as I'm done Infected: Paris is next followed by Infected: Bloodlines. I may need some form of therapy after that.

"""Like, thanks," he said, with sarcasm that seemed to miss Nose Ring entirely. If he said "like" one more time, Roan would have punched that kid in the stomach."
Oh I think I might be developing a Roan crush."

""There were so many good reasons for hating people on an individual basis that mass, generic hatred seemed idiotic. Hate a person for who they were, God knows he did, but for what they were? Moronic and lazy."

"If we get caught, let me do the talking. I’ll so annoy the shit out of them they’ll agree to anything to make me shut up and go away.”
Now Roan did briefly admire his gall. “You know?”
“What, that I talk too much? I have ears, sweetie, how could I not know? Sometimes even I have no fucking idea what I’m talking about; it just comes gushing out, y’know? I call it diarrhea of the mouth.”
Dude is funny!!"

You might not need therapy, but definitely tissues. And alcohol. And some sort of sugar based substance. It's so good! And great review, btw!

Awesome review <3
Alcohol. I'm gonna go with lots of alcohol!! :D
Fab review - there is romance but we just unfortunately don't get to "see" it. Definitely feel the love tho.
