Bo is still hiding what he is from everyone, sometimes even himself.  He wants Sam but not openly.  He is afraid of admitting that he’s gay and what that might mean for his life.  Bo has finally left Janine, but he lives in fear and it colors the relationship he has with Sam.  Right now all Bo allows them are hurried gropes in dark corners and covert touches.  His life is in turmoil and he is afraid it’s starting to fall apart.

Sam is agonizing about Bo.  He loves him and wants to be with him, but Sam doesn’t know how much longer he can stand hiding in the closet with Bo.  Sam wants to be able to touch him and express his feelings without Bo panicking about being seen.  Plus, this new investigation is bringing up a lot of things that too closely resemble what happened at Oleander House three months ago that it is leaving him scared and uncertain.

What Hides Inside is a classic Ally Blue story, fast paced and full of angst.   Bo and Sam are very lovable characters, even when they are acting like idiots and you want to smack them for it.  The books goes from funny to scary to sensual in  ways that grip you and make you live the emotional journey the characters make.  If you are a fan of Ally Blue’s work you will love this book.  Read What Hides Inside, you won’t be disappointed!

Note: this is the second book of the series and it can be read as a stand alone, but you might miss some important references.
