The Key to Deceit by Ashley Weaver
4.0
Electra McDonnell returns to butt heads (and exchange sparks) with the cool and taciturn Major Ramsey, and I am *delighted*. (Weaver sure is drawing out this sexual tension between her two leads, but I just *know* it's gonna be real satisfying when these two stubborn idiots finally admit they've caught The Feels for each other.)
ANYWAY, the core story involving secret cameras, secret spies, and the impending Blitz is a solid one, and kept me turning the pages at a rapid clip. I think I managed to devour the entire book in three sittings, but if I'd actually had any time off from work I would've done it handily in one. Weaver has a gift for writing easy-to-read, compelling, fast-paced stuff. And the sense of time/place was both masterfully crafted and satisfying to sink into.
While the ending did feel a bit *too* quick/easily wrapped up, there were enough thrilling moments to make it enjoyable, and leave me looking forward to book three. A very solid series thus far!
