I don't care for the female lead too much, but I enjoy the rest of the characters. 

I do absolutely love the portrayal of trauma and panic/anxiety attacks. I had to pace myself because it triggered my anxiety, and to me that makes it excellent writing. 

it doesn't feel realistic that you have these super stealthy characters doing amazing feats one minute then happenly captured in the next? Hoping the next book helps explain it.

Immersive world building, fun characters, and a thick plot. Hot guys, secret nights in hidden areas, the tension.. Yeah this was a nail biter, edge-of-the-seat kind of book, and I LOVED it. 

The last 50 pages of this book really got me raging, but I kept reminding myself it’s the first book in a five book series so.. 

To the next book!
