5.0

The stakes were really ramped up in Blacklight Blue, the next instalment in the Enzo Macleod series. Amid assassination attempts, bombings and arson, Enzo unravels the next unsolved cold case. I enjoyed this book a lot more than the previous books, so much so that I read it in two days and couldn't put it down.

The pacing was great and I also really loved the flashbacks from the killer’s perspective, making it really satisfying when the two timelines all came together.

Despite the ending not being the most satisfying, the action and build up was still great and I’m excited to read the next book.

There was also a lot less sexism in this instalment, as well as some notable character development for Enzo and his daughter.

I hope Freeze Frame can live up to my expectations!
