The second book in this series was for real a bit much. I
mean… I guess you can drink yourself into a coma. I mean… I did have a
boyfriend once that would speak in a different language when he was drunk. I
guess that wouldn’t be so bad if he actually spoke another language.
I digress, (so soon in this review) in Beneath this Man
Jesse has drunken himself into a stupor. There is no mystery foreign language
here… ole dude has slipped into an alcohol induced coma. So, yep, and stuff…. I
was not really feeling Jesse, Ava, or any of his homies at that point. I just
wanted to scream at Jesse and say, “just because the girl you want doesn’t want
you back doesn’t mean you drink yourself stupid. Maybe write a sad entry in
your journal and but not drink yourself silly”.
Anyway, Ava stays with him until he recovers and is
researching alcoholism. Jesse then awakens like sleeping beauty and professes
his love for Ava and the madness continues. Their relationship consists of 47%
normal and 53% of Jesse’s craziness and Ava knowing their situation is just not
right but can’t turn away because she loves him. At least she finds out how old he really is in this installment.
Her best friend is now a member of the Manor and is
dating/sexing one of Jesse’s friends and is still of no support. Well, that all
depends on how you want to define the word support. So, at this point in the
series, I have become inspired to define support by re-mixing a quote from the
Scarlet Ibis about pride being a wonderful and terrible thing with a seed and
two vines and such. Ava’s support system
can be defined as a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines,
peace of mind and kink-foolery.
The ending of this book was a bit much for me, meaning it
was just a bit much. Basically, that is the only way I can describe it but I
continued to read on to see what confessions were in store for me in This Man Confessed.
