Amber Green - Bareback

Joe's life is perfect--except for the serial killers, the mysterious twins, and his new love being a guy...who needs sex to stay human.
Everyone knows Joe as a straight-up, straight cop standing fast in the moral heart of his beloved town. Brian's new in town. He's also a bareback, a jinx, an untwinned huntsman nobody in his right mind would rely on. When the dark side of the cops--vigilantes gone outlaw--joins with the monstrous dark side of the huntsmen, lovers must become brothers to strike at the heart of evil

Comment: My second read for the challenge this month.
I am aware this was a second book, it would follow a previous story somwhow, but in most cases we can follow the stories without having read others before, so I figured out I would be ok.
After all, things didn't work out that well. The story is very confising to follow, I realized although it's set in a different time, the way it's told assumes the reader knows what is going on. I was confused all the time. Another thing is the writing itself. Many scenes just jump from one thing to another without a link, so the reader has to guess where the action is next. All this confusion and jumping scenes make the book too exhausting to read and also a bit difficult, because we must figure things to quickly, without much certainty.
The romance was ok, I guess, but I could put aside what I wasn't geting to, in order to enjoy the love thing. The story was a mess, it took me a long time to understand things.
So why didn't I start with the first, well, that one is a m/f/m or m/m/f which means menage and I'm not looking for those books at the moment. I wasn't really interested in reading a menage book, so I jumped ahead... a mistake, but well, this is how we learn. I visited the auhtor's site and there's not much there to catch my eye, so I guess it would be an author to avoid from here on.
