Oh, it seems like forever since I have been in the world of Ballybeg, so this novella length story was a great way to get back, and to introduce us to the Ballybeg Bad Boys
Dex is Sean Mackey's - remember him? - brother - I loved the interactions between the brothers - even though they have been a bit distant in the past, they always act like brothers do.
From the minute Dex and Katy - his ex - end up in the same room, you know things are going to be fiery. There is some bad blood that lead to their breakup, and there is still the undercurrent of feelings between them.
You know what I love about Zara Keane's books - I love her quirky characters. No cookie-cutter characters with cookie cutter relationships and lives. They are the kinds of people I would definitely have as friends - I have been told I am a bit on the weird/quirky side, so they would fit in perfectly!
I did feel that the relationship dramas with Dex and Katy were a little but glossed over, and the relationship back on track in no time - BUT this is only because it is a novella length and everything kind of runs at warp speed in them.
I loved the secondary characters. There was enough drama, intrigue and mystery to keep me on the edge until the end - then left me wanting more. There was a real sense of whodunnit? running through the story, but you don't find out until Ms Keane wants you to know.
I loved getting back to Ballybeg, and I look forward to what Ms Keane brings us next.
