mysterious medium-paced

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I love the author, but this main character was unlikable. I’m over the “cop who breaks all the rules”. He was mostly rude and annoying.

challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I wasn’t sure what to expect out of a new character, a new city, an entire new universe. I’ve read MC standalones, to which there aren’t many, and loved them just as much as I love Bosch, Haller, and Ballard. This sets this series up for so much growth, tension, heartbreak or love, and so much development of relationships. I cannot wait for book 2 in the Stillwell series!
