Overall I absolutely loved this book, and everytime I put it down I couldn't wait to pick it back up.
The only thing I didn't like was how much reference there was to COVID (and NOT because I'm a conspiracy theorist like Phil). I just didn't feel like those details (i.e. referencing masks being up or down, etc) really added anything and it almost got distracting -- we've all lived with it for 3 years so I would have enjoyed getting lost in a story world where it doesn't exist, y'know?
All in all, incredible read as usual from Slaughter!!!
