i mean let's start with the guys. archer grew on me so much in the last book and i absolutely love possessive arch. his whole 'run away i'll chase you' vibe is incredible. my ONLY thing is that i kind of think the mood change up happened way too quickly and too easily, i would've liked a bit more of a fight but it's fine i'm fine i love soft archer too much for my own good. kodiak definitely deserved more personality, i think. at times he feels a bit too much like a fourth wheel, the guy who trains them rather than a guy with his own background and story. i would've liked more of that! max, though. he's absolutely my favourite. he could do absolutely anything regardless of how awful and i'd still love him.
of course, this book ended on a cliffhanger, but i get the feeling i know exactly what's coming in the next series! the plot was just wild in this book, super chaotic and hectic but very well done. i do wish we spent more time with the stalker and the motive etc., though as i feel that was brushed over a little too quickly. other than that, this was a great read! definitely going to be reading more tate james.
