Will and Kim had a good dynamic. Their banter was great - and their feelings complex enough to be intriguing. Also, I was amazed how factual the spicy scenes were.

The "mystery" in the book is also solvable (by the right readers), which I always appreciate, even if I myself haven't a chance at solving the thing.
Fair warning, there is quite a bit of on-the-page violence in this one.

Normally I cannot stand books where one of the main characters is lying to the other, especially in the context of a relationship. I think what makes the difference is that Will figures out quickly that Kim is lying to him about some pretty important things, even if he doesn't know the precise shape of it for a while. Kim is fascinating as a character, but I would not want to hang around him in person. Will and Kim have a very nice time at their first meeting, but Kim keeps lying to him because he has priorities other than Will and it takes most of the book book to get to a point where Will might be more important to him than his prior commitments. Will for his part wants to know where he stands and wants everyone to stop messing up his life for the sake of something he originally didn’t know it was in his possession and has no desire to hold.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this, I will keep reading the series because I want to know what happens next. Future books seem likely to deal more with Zodiac and the relationship between Kim and Will.
