Love & War by Keira N. James
3.5
dark informative mysterious fast-paced

Love and War has a good plot, lots of cheesy metaphors and one liners, and several twists and shocker reveals.  Lot of great liners that kept me highlighting (if you have GR, check out my highlights).  I think Kaine and Ace have a toxic relationship that I don't envy, but they seem to hold each other down nicely in their disjointed chaotic temperments.  I like the information regarding the military, but these characters don't even appear to be hiding their relationship.  I do think this book jumps from one scene to another without fleshing out the details enough for my liking so I felt like I was missing something often. But it doesn't affect being able to enjoy the story.  She doesn't get to her revenge/assassin part until like 85% of the book too.  But she was badass and cut throat when it did happen.  I love it when a plan comes together and people get what they deserve. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but definitely could be polished more.
