You guys, I'm not going to lie... this book was AMAZING!
I mean, it had it all, a lot of action, snarky humor, some romance (but not too much... even though it's Levi, don't say you would mind hmm!?), oh oh oh.. and a puppy (lol) :D

Worldbuilding was, as always, great! We went all over the place and all scenes and environments were clear and well detailed.

Character development just keeps on going strong book after book. Ash and Levi finally figure things out between them (can I get an amen). But to be honest, all important characters continue to grow and shed more light onto their persona. They all feel very real and alive, with each their own flaws and insecurities. Really well written.

Pacing and flow were amazing. Such a great balance between all the action and the (heartstopping) conversations. This book really is quite a ride, though never going over the top into being rushed. No, the author let it play out in its own natural rhythm (and yes, reading this sentence is weird for me too, but that's the best I can do for you so you're welcome).

The book itself was well written and yes, there is sex described (if that is important to you).

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I really do need book 4 pronto (pretty pretty please!). Though beware, the ending is a bit of a cliffhanger... you are warned!
I didn't think this series could trump Nava, but damn... I think this book did it! ( )

Now I haven't read the rest of this series but this one makes me want to. Ash is in a relationship with Levi; he wants her to investigate something that's happening with his ex; a girl who treated Ash badly when she was younger. Plus clues in a murder are pointing at her father, so lots of travelling to different places and trying to deal with complicated life stuff, not just a romance, and getting a dog.
I found it a good read but possibly in need of an editor to smooth over some of the transitions. Still, without having read the rest of the series I found the story pretty easy to follow and I'd read more by this author. ( )

I finished this book and had to stomp around the house for a bit in frustration because THAT ENDING! Cue wailing and gnashing of teeth because the next book isn't out yet. ( )
