Flash Fire by TJ Klune
4.0

Thank you NetGalley and TorTeen for sharing this ARC with me!

Y'all, I really love this series. It's just ridiculous and fun in the best ways.

The criticism the first book got regarding the way police were depicted was definitely warranted, and I appreciate the effort in this one to rectify that, even if at times it came across as a little awkward. There's a lot of needed dialogue here, and it can feel a bit clunky, but again, I appreciate the discussion. This is not me saying he
"fixed" anything, as that is absolutely not my place, but rather acknowledging there was an attempt made.

Also- drag queen superheroes? Hell yes. I literally yelled when this character appeared and Seth had to talk Nicky through learning their name.

TJ has this way of making me cringe with secondhand embarrassment (in the best way) but still not be able to stop reading. Nick is still a mess, I still adore Seth, Gibby and Jazz are still the brains of this entire operation and the others would be lost without them... This was just a super fun, action-packed continuation.

Can we talk about TJ and his ability to cliffhanger?? Hello?

I'm so excited for book three!
