After Hours on Milagro Street by Angelina M. Lopez
3.5

Thank you to Harper Collins for an advance copy of this! 

I wanted to like this more than I ended up. 
There were aspects that I loved but then other areas fell flat for me. 
The sexy parts were great (minus the random hookup right in the beginning?). 
I just didn't understand fully Jeremiah's role (maybe missed it in the audio?). 
I did love the teamwork of Jeremiah and Alex which lead to their top notch chemistry. 
I also loved that Alex was the grumpy character who didn't have a typical look; she had piercings, tattoos, short hair. 
I thought the Mexican culture infused into the mystery was an added bonus. 
A lot of people enjoyed this one so it might have just been me.
