4.0

A well-paced and engaging read! These guys don’t have a clue how to write women but this is easy to just laugh at and ignore because the story is so interesting (and kudos to them for including so many women at all and for giving them meaningful roles in the story!)

I liked the first book better by a small margin, but man, the ending to this one was a mindf*ck. Very excited for book 3!

A very enjoyable sequel that keeps up the pace of the first book and raises the stakes slightly. Looking forward to  reading more. Slightly missed the noir detective vibe from the first one.
