OP

Yeah, the whole series has just horrible covers. I've read some books with crappy covers (bad illustrations, or weird photoshopping, or whatever), but these didn't even try to look decent.

Rereading the author's quote from the interview that I mentioned in another comment where the interviewer mentioned readers noticing the similarities to Supernatural and asking her about it, I feel like it comes across as "oh, I got caught, now I have to try to cover my tracks" and failing at it, lol.

Hit post too soon.

I think it's just come to the term where people have decided that all gay fiction must be brilliant otherwise people will stop publishing these things and it will forever be excluded in everything forever, (aka there are a lot of delusional thinking going on) so they double down on even terrible things and yell at people for having legitimate questions/critique about it's quality, storylines, and even more so when it comes to the romance.

Yeah. As someone else pointed out, the writing's not even good. The overaching "plot" (as loose as it is) is that they're FBI agents trying to catch a serial killer. In general, I prefer books that have something else going on than just romance, but the mystery aspect seems to just be something vague happening in the background, and it's so damn obvious who the killer is. (Going back to my conspiracy theory, if the killer was originally a supernatural creature and they had to change it to where he's a normal human, it might explain why it seemed underdeveloped...)

I hate if people feel like they can't question m/m stuff because it might lead to less of it. There absolutely should be more, I just wish there was more that was actually good.
