In Sequence by Cole McCade

4.0

Another solid book in this series! I really like the way Cole is weaving together the overall plot and dropping breadcrumbs along the way. Just enough to keep the pace moving without feeling too bogged down in the details. Wasn't expecting to feel so much for the victim's kid in this one but all the scenes with him tugged at my heartstrings. Loooved the scene between SJ & Mal's dad so much...give me an understanding family member + love interest scene and I'll eat it up everytime. Also, I knew there was gonna be a development in Mal & SJ's sexual dynamic but the way it happened surprised me! It was hot and intimate and well written, which is Cole's usual MO, so I was here for it. And I appreciated his afterword for giving me insight into his thought process when writing it.

I will say, there seemed to be a much larger focus on side characters here than in other books in this series. And while I didn't hate it (and actually liked the scenes w/ Adelaide), they're just not as near to my heart as Mal & SJ. I don't skip anything and it all adds to the story but...idk I'm not as attached. Sila can choke, I'm tired of the shenanigans. And why did Aanga need a POV here, idc about that man
