Sequel to Attachment Strings
A Jeff Woods Mystery
When he was outed on the local news, Jeff Woods gave up his dream job as a detective to become an on-air radio personality. The sacrifice was worth it to keep Alex and Sean in his life, but Alex lost his job, too. Jeff can tell Alex worries he’s pressuring Jeff too much, first with Sean and now the lack of money, but he has no idea what that will lead Alex to do. Desperate times bring out the stupidity in some people, and when Jeff discovers Alex is in over his head in a situation he can’t handle, he needs all his self-control to stay calm.
Life is not easy with the Church of Virtue still spouting venom wherever they go, homophobes at the police department, a gangster who wants Alex in the worst possible way, and a bed that barely holds one grown man, much less two (and a child), but Jeff is there to stay for good, and he’ll do what it takes to make Alex believe him.

This review can be found at The Blogger Girls review site.Months after the events that happened in Attachment Strings, Jeff and Alex are just now starting to get back to normal. Granted if you can call struggling through constant threats from the Church of Virtue, Jeff forced into a job he hates and Alex out of a job altogether normal. Then there’s Sean, who’s nightmares over what he’s been through are just as bad now as they were six months ago, but they have each other and that’s all they want. But when Alex’s financial trouble causes him to do something stupid behind Jeff’s back, putting not only himself but Sean in danger, their lives are once again thrust upside down. Can they get through another dangerous situation or will this time prove more fatal than others?
Okay, so I will freely admit that the little recap above doesn’t do this book justice. I TRIED to explain as best I could what would happen without giving away spoilers but I fear I may have just made things worse. Even so, I wanted to elaborate a little more on what Sacrifices is about. So far, this one definitely was better than the previous book because there’s none of that back and forth of Alex and Jeff’s feelings as there was before. In this one, Jeff has fully embraced his love, possessiveness and jealousy for Alex and is all for showing it off. Jeff’s no longer that insensitive jerk he was but now is more domestic. He’s taking care of Sean like it’s second nature to him and doesn’t make any rude comments or have any nasty thoughts like he once had. Now, he’s sweet, loveable and, okay, he’s still arrogant and full of himself but I LOVED that he’s grown so much. This book showed a more in-depth side to who Jeff is now and I must say, I definitely love the change.
I still adore Alex. He’s young but he also has this innocence to him where he can’t quite see the worst in certain people. Yet, he’s been through so much you’d think he’d be jaded or bitter. Instead, he’s mostly just terrified of what could happen next and especially over the fact that Jeff will come to think of Alex and Sean as too much of a burden and leave. It’s sad, to be honest, but the way these boys felt toward each other made my heart clench. Another gem in this book is Sean, who’s a sweet, loveable kid but a very smart and observant one. He understands remarkably well what is going on around him and he actually made me tear up a little at the end! It was a good teary smile, though!
This was an almost perfect story for me. One that kept me captivated from start to finish because I loved the new developments between Jeff and Alex and what they had to go through once again. My only little niggle is that it was a little too easy for me to spot who the ‘new threat’ from the Church of Virtue was. Also, I felt like some of the resolutions were wrapped up too easily for my liking.
Even with that, though, I still really loved this book. I’m so glad we got to see more of Jeff, Alex and Sean, not to mention Parker and David. There’s a bit of suspense, some deception, quite a few sweet and fatherly moments (between Jeff and Sean, of course!) but there were also a lot of moments that made me grin. I can’t wait for the third installment because I really want to see what happens next! If you liked Attachment Strings then you’ll definitely enjoy this one as well :)

Sacrifices Jeff Woods Mystery series Book 2 edition by Chris T Kat Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Why, you might wonder? Because I liked the first book in this series so very much.This 2nd book felt sub par to me.
A bit of the story Jeff and Alex are still struggling with the emotional and practical aftermath of what happened to them (and Sean) six months before or so. Alex lost his job and Jeff resigned his position as police detective and now has a radio programm. As a consequence of some bad decisions, Alex falls in the sight (and hands) of a very very bad Russian kingpin, very much a la mode of Bond's villains, forcing Jeff and his detective pal Parker to jump in his rescue. Nothing wrong with it, after all it's supposed to be entertainment , not Kierkegaard. And I love me some Bond, specially Daniel Yummy Craig.
While Jeff is still the same jerk, a tad more sensitive but thick and uber dense as ever, Alex has mutated into a TSTL young man. He lies to everybody, take idiotic risks putting lifes in danger, appears overly clingy and needy and spends his time whimpering and crying. His character isn't naive, don't be fooled. He's just an infuriating imbecile. I lost count of all the times he whimpers, cries or hides behind his beautiful white slash blond tresses (insert roll eyes here). In conclusion, he's stupider than the villain and the thugs. I disliked him a lot, for moments I wished somebody would finally kill him so to end our misery.
The plot is ridiculous, it's implausibility is up there with the possibility of an immediate apocalypse led by zombie baby Jesus. Furthermore, it develops into a farce. And the mole and "real" baddie of the story Could he have been even more obvious? Nope. Seems like the author,for her plot, took hints from Ty & Zane recent debacle. In three words the plot sucks.
What I liked Ms. Kat writes well, very well. In spite of the aforementioned sucking issues, the story is dinamic, fast, entertaining and fun.
Jeff is a wonderful character, original and very vivid. Thickheaded and denser than black matter, but intense and likeable. The secondary characters are great as well, Sean the handicapped child and Parker the cop. There are no typos, misspellings, mistakes or other editing issues.
Recapitulating plot risible. Alex whimpering dimwit. Still an engaging read, mostly because of Jeff. I will get the next book because I want to read more about them and I want to know what's the deal with Parker and his boyfriend. I hope Alex will be written with a backbone next time! I was so dissapointed with way he was written that I went back and read again "attachment strings". I suspected I might have RUI ( read under the influence) -) but no, he was a bit of a wuss, yes sir, but here he conquest the Everest of imbecility. He needs to man up.
Anyways, another day, another review.
I loved the first book in this series and the second did not let me down at all. Tense plot, three dimensional characters and excellent writing. Cannot wait for the next one!
This is part of my four and a half star review. I have rounded up on the rating -). Please read my full review on the Smoocher's Voice blog.
With Attachment Strings and Sacrifices, Chris T. Kat has written a realistic love story between people who have had a difficult time fitting into society and accepting love. Real life is messy and Kat explores this concept in this series. Both Alex and Jeff are battling internal and external demons. In between the love and tension, Kat throws in quite a bit of drama. She also tackles homophobia and prejudice against the differently abled in a dramatic way.
Sacrifices is written in first person point of view from Jeff’s perspective. As a result of this, Alex’s thoughts and motivations are often hidden from the reader. His actions and conversations with the other characters are the readers only hint into what is going on within his insecure and immature mind.
Kat has a talent for writing sparse prose and engaging dialogue. There is a lot present between the lines of the story, especially when it comes to Alex. The background of the characters is paramount for understanding their actions. The dialogue and sex scenes are intimate and help the reader better understand the characters’ motivations. The subplots in the story help develop the characters’ personalities and help explain some of their seemingly erratic behaviors. Drama with a side of romance makes Sacrifices an engaging story.
