Dangerous Ends by Alex Segura

4.0

I've never been sure whether or not I actually like this series, and yet I keep reading them -- I guess that means something? This installment is the most appealing one of the bunch, in large part because Pete is sober. A lot of the violence -- or, more accurately, survival of violence -- challenges belief, but the characters are reasonably compelling, and Pete's sobriety means he's increasingly willing (required) to think about his actions and emotions, actually evaluating them on the page rather than throwing himself into it all behind the haze of alcohol. That thoughtfulness is something different, and its gradual development, too, makes it interesting.
