Thoughts 💭
I would consider No Way Back an anthology series, the majority of the plot was resolved within the pages of this book. If I had my time back I would have preferred to read the series from the beginning and not jump in part way through. I say that only because there were very small moments peppered throughout that made me curious about the different characters' backstories, and I'm a completionist! 😆
For readers that like a darker, intense detective series like In Death, this is the opposite. The intimacy moments fade to black, the language is cleaner and the death is less gruesome. If that's something you prefer, I would recommend this series!
I enjoyed my experience while reading. There were a few interesting character twists that I didn't see coming, which kept me engaged. Becca has a lot of grit, her instincts are on point and she is very perceptive. I liked reading Bevin’s POV, and getting more out of his story. By the end I was the most invested in Bevin’s and Becca’s storylines. In turn it made me feel like the rest of the POV’s weren't necessary, and overshadowed the two main story arcs.
