The Insiders by Tijan
4.0
Tijan takes us into a whole new world unlike any she has ever written with The Insiders. This book is captivating from the very first paragraph, where we are thrown into a world of intrigue. The pace is set fast, which held me, hostage until the last page, where I kept clicking in hopes more would appear.
This story takes me back to the original Tijan, who writes quirky characters who come into their own with an Alpha male character steeped in mystery. This book takes the time to introduce us to the myriad of characters the heroine interacts with and setting up what I envision to be an epic storyline that will continue through the rest of the series.
Bailey has some quirks that make her wonderfully unique but still slightly immature in social settings. Kash is rough around the edges and keeps EVERYTHING about his life close to the vest, while Bailey is an open book. Bailey brings out a softer, more caring side in Kash while he is helping her learn how to handle more serious situations.
The characters are a little older than what we have come to expect from Tijan, along with a whole new story arc, unlike anything we have seen yet. This is a slightly more mature voice we haven't really seen from Tijan as this world needs to be navigated from a more adult place. This may throw off some readers. I love that Tijan is stretching her boundaries and enjoy this new, more mature voice. I will be anxiously awaiting book two even though book one doesn't come out until May.
