And the unwritten law on sisters is clear-hands off. But with Zach’s wedding on the horizon and Zach’s fashionista fiancée Desiree giving CeeCee a makeover, the little duckling Jonah remembers is turning into a definite swan. Jonah is happy to help little CeeCee Gamble, if only she’d come clean about why she’s being blackmailed.

She always wanted Jonah to see her as a bona fide woman, but as a woman who’s being wrongfully blackmailed for seducing a married man? Not on her life. A misunderstanding from her past is rearing its ugly head and the only person she can turn to is Jonah Clarke-her family’s lawyer and, as it turns out, her brother Zach’s best friend and her childhood crush.

Goes well with: a double-scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone, eaten at the beach. I’m not sure if this novel counts as canon – though since it was co-written by series creator Rob Thomas, it totally should, but even if we take it as a slightly alternate universe, it’s worth the read, and it’s an excellent way for people, (like me) who binge-watched the entire series before the movie was released (I’d seen it before, but my husband hadn’t) to get their latest “fix.” Players in Boyfriend Dungeon can also go on dates with NPCs in different locations. There is more of an RPG element in Boyfriend Dungeon than in Hades, allowing players more choice in how a relationship progresses.Picking up where the Veronica Mars movie left off, this novel has everything I loved about the series and the film: Veronica’s personal brand of snark, the Neptune locals we know and love, and a mystery that wasn’t difficult to solve, but keeps us entertained, even so.įans of LoVe be warned: this novel takes place during Logan’s deployment, so don’t expect to see much of him.ĭo expect a few lovely (and some not-so-lovely) surprises, and a good amount of Dick Casablancas being, well, Dick. There is also much more time spent in dialogue conversations than in the dungeon, with players able to openly flirt with characters or outright shut down a relationship they don't want to pursue. There is a much wider range of gifts a player can craft or purchase for NPCs, and those NPCs have likes and dislikes that can make them respond positively or negatively towards a gift. Boyfriend Dungeon, on the other hand, is a much more dynamic in its relationship building. Players give a gift, and the relationship proceeds. While this allows the player to romance certain Hades NPCs over time, that relationship track is just that, a straightforward track. Hades allows players to progress relationships with NPCs by giving them gifts of Nectar or Ambrosia. Players primarily get better through their character gaining XP and leveling up to do more damage.īoyfriend Dungeon instead places most of its focus on the relationship aspect of the game. While Boyfriend Dungeon has different weapons and spells to unlock and level, it is a much more limited selection.

Boyfriend Dungeon, on the other hand, is much more simple. That's on top of utilizing keepsake items that give other bonuses, as well as leveling-up buffs from the Mirror of Night. Besides unlocking different weapons, Zagreus can collect boons from the gods over the course of a run which give him different abilities, some of which can build to interesting combos. For instance, Hades has much more in-depth combat mechanics. But each game places a different emphasis on mechanics. Both games involve unlocking weapons and abilities and building relationships with NPCs. Both involve roguelite dungeon crawling, with players progressing as far as they can in a dungeon before they die.
