more weird pro-cop stuff, although it's finally being examined the Teensiest Tiniest Bit by the narrative. vic debates whether or not he's cut out to remain a cop, although the first time this happens, we're told rather than shown: the narration SAYS he's unsure about it, without showing him grappling with covering up annie's death in the previous book. this carries throughout his ethical dilemma, and makes it feel jarring and not fully integrated into the novel.
the huge age gap between adam and silver is still not meaningfully addressed (alluded to close to the end, but no mention of what it's like emotionally/mentally for adam, having been 17 and preyed on by a 500+ year old elf who was supposed to be his magic teacher).
still mostly fun though! liked the binders' backstory info and the scenes with adam and vic and their respective immediate families.

I loved POV Vic. It was also awesome to see Adam grow as a magic user, and the story was gripping enough for me to overlook the lack of romance compared to the first book. I can't wait to see how the trilogy ends! It's too bad Jody was a bad egg till the end though. I had hopes she would redeem herself.

Complicated
There is just so much going on in this series! It really keeps you on your toes. Following all the arch’s of the story let me focused. This has the dual POV again, this time with Adam and Vic. It really put you inside the complicated relationship they share.
I think I may have been more intrigued by the things happening with the Fae than in the human realm. Events happening parallel was a real trip! My brain kept wanting to figure where each fell into the other’s timeline.
The narrator was great he has a solid pace that helps the story flow. I was a bit thrown by why there are no accents, even though the text references accents. I did not notice it as much in the first book, however this book was specifically mentioning and it felt strange not to have any sort of Southern twang or Spanish accents.
The last book completed the major plots but left us on a bit of a cliff hanger, so I am eager to jump into the next one.
