At this point he’d been lying to them for so long it seemed rude to tell them the truth now.

Lunatic was a bit different for me. I was very much invested in finding out what Archer was hiding, and just his general story. I think I understand why he is the way he is, but I also wanted a bit more. The conflict with the family, and especially Noah, was really well done.

I loved getting to know about Project Watchtower, and I am sooo fucking excited about the first book in The Watch series now. I mean, I was already excited, but after meeting Gift, I feel like I can’t wait.

Archer and Mac are perfectly cute together, and I enjoyed their story, but I was honestly a bit more intrigued by everything else going on than their relationship. There were definitely parts of their dynamic that I loved tho, don’t get me wrong. The sort of ‘enemies with benefits’ thing they had going on was interesting and waaay different than any of the other books. Not that they were really enemies or had a FWB situation, but they kept getting drawn to each other without really wanting to. Especially Archer tried to, but that big hunking redhead was too much to resist. It was also neat to see that connection to Shep and Elijah’s book in the Elite Protection Services series.

I have very little knowledge about psychopathy, but the part in the book where Archer gets completely overwhelmed because he experiences new emotions was very interesting. They explain it a little like a child experiencing big emotions, or the first time a Deaf person can hear with implants, etc. It’s so new to him and he doesn’t know how to deal with it.
