BUT I also loved that their relationship was built over classic horror films, because that's the best way to get to my heart. He also kissed the MC while he had a girlfriend, and the MC also made some questionable decisions regarding his relationship with his girlfriend in general that I couldn't get behind. That, and the angst in this particular relationship isn't really for me, and more time than I had cared for is focused on it. He's also not entirely likable, and the relationship kind of takes a traditional role in the 'me-man, you-woman' way. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of, aside from some other tiny qualms, was the romance, which had a few red flags for one, the guy feels like he needs to protect the main character when they aren't even dating, and is pretty overprotective as it is. If Mystique were to solve a crime, I'd imagine it'd be very much like this book, and that's a good thing. Although the variations/mutations aren't wholly original, since many are featured in X-Men, the training and discovering who has which powers, etc was a lot of fun. Totally didn't expect to like this as much as I did, but damn, that was really good.
