Despite the very.... interesting cover, this book is
1. Not really that smutty. It is 95% action, money, politics, and urban magic/fantasy with like one or two romance scenes that are pretty vanilla. There are whole ass car chase scenes and shootouts and kidnapping attempts and heists, and it is all high stakes and tense.
2. Like actually pretty good
Second in this series, we continue to follow Nevada who is a private investigator with secret magic powers to tell when people are lying, among other things. She is in a forced partnership with a guy, who has the terrifying magical ability to basic level buildings with his mind, in order to solve a murder being covered up by some important rich magical families. It reads like an episode of SVU or Bones or one of those similar guy/gal detective duos with respectful sexual tension but with magic, and tbh it slapped. I liked it more than the first one, and wasn't planning to read this whole series but now I actually might.
