These books give me so much anxiety, but they’re like crack! I seriously can’t look away. The plot ‘twist’ revealed in this one was super predictable from the moment they boarded the ship, but that’s okay.

Kayla drives me absolutely INSANE. She’s the most reckless and ridiculous character possibly ever. Like she’s sick, having memory issues, knows there is something physically wrong and still insists on rushing in, following, ignoring requests for her to stay put. They have to physically restrain her to keep her from rushing out and putting other people’s lives at risk! I get that she wants to help, but she just doesn’t know when to step back and let more experienced people take the reins. Even thinking that their little ragtag band of an academy team (that specializes in information gathering FYI) should somehow be the ones responsible for a full take down and money recovery because she doesn’t want to hand the info off to the authorities and not get the thrill of the takedown?? Wtf is wrong with the girl.
