Kasey developed these characters, always leaving something hidden for us the reader, to discover. Loved the ending with its final showdown. There is so much going on, I don’t know how the author kept it all straight and flowing so well. The end of this series brings all the chemistry, passion and heat to a chaotic ending. To make matters worse, there is an attack coming towards City M and Aki may be at the center of it. They all must work together to find the real killer. There is a little jealousy going on between Candy, Ivy and Jack, but when suspicions fall on Candy for a string of murders appearing to be BDSM related. The plot of this book has Candy growing the Hidden Gem club and growing the red light district into a cleaner adult playground while Paris builds his casino and hotel. I will definitely have to check out other books by this author. I loved every character that was part of the Hidden Gem family. I don’t think that this will happen with this series. I read so many books that they tend to fade from my memory quickly. I will miss these characters so much, that I may just have to read this series again. Well I am pretty sure that this is the last book of the Hidden Gem Series. In a future landscape of corrupt government officials, brutal BDSM crimes, and a host of dark creatures, Candy, Ivy, and Jack must work together to find the killer, save themselves-and learn how to trust each other.

But nothing prepares them for Candy becoming the prime suspect. When Jack gets called in to help the City M police department investigate a series of violently murdered companions, both Candy and Ivy brace for trouble. Ideally, Ivy longs for all three of them to be together, but between Jack’s nonexistent libido and Candy’s supercharged needs, Ivy isn’t sure how to make it work. Ivy is crazy about Jack, but he’s also in love with Candy. But when his companion, Avery “Ivy” Laurent, grows closer to Jack, an investigator for the Institute of Scientific Study, Candy can’t hide his jealousy. He’s too busy restructuring the red-light district into an adult playland for City M and running the Hidden Gem. Genre(s): Paranormal fantasy, Gay male romanceĬameron “Candy” Michelson Jr.
