A review by whitneydr
Cover Up by K.C. Burn
2.0
This was not as good as the first installment of this series, Cop Out. Not at all. What happened?
Cover Up started off kind of where Cop Out ended. I should’ve reread the first book to refresh my memory as to what happened. Cover Up has me questioning Cop Out’s quality. Was it really good or was it good at the time? I do remember loving Davy and Kurt and how their relationship developed over the course of the novel.
Ivan and Parker were too stupid to live. My biggest issues were Ivan’s lack of real detective skills and the MC’s general lack of communication. Actually, I don’t know how they could’ve fallen in love with each other in two weeks. First of all, Parker doesn’t know anything about Ivan, not even his real name. Ivan seems to just fill the void Parker’s mother left since Ivan is the first person to him genuinely care and comfort him. It reminds me of a baby bird attaching itself to the first person it sees and calling it mother.
Secondly, Ivan spent a good portion of the book thinking Parker was a drug dealer when all signs pointed his friend. For an undercover job, his back story was completely unbelievable and he didn’t ask any questions that could’ve aided his investigation. The investigation itself and the reason behind it were all just a big joke.
I was really hoping for Kurt’s brother’s story and hope it comes out next. And hopefully it’ll be a lot better than this one.
1.5 out of 5 stars
