Finlay and Vero are just the best! I really hope this series goes on for a while, because they are just too much fun.
I love how we always start from the instant the last book ended. We have a ton of different people in play with this book. You are always wondering how Finlay can possibly get out of the middle. It seems to be so easy for her and Vero to be in the middle of murders and chaos. I enjoyed getting to know more about Vero’s past in this one.
There are many moments that are way over the top. It’s a given with this series, and I don’t really mind it. I know there are a lot of people that read this more critically and enjoyment. Do I think that two small women can lug around dead bodies? Absolutely not! Do I think that Finlay and Vero are hilarious? Yes! This book was such a fast paced read because there is always something crazy happening. I finished this in two days, and that’s with limited reading time.
I really love the fact that Finlay learns how to stand up to her ex. He’s not a good guy, and I’m glad she puts him in his place. I hope he finally sees the error of is ways, and becomes a better father for the kids. I’ve also loved Sylvia in this one! She’s such a minor roll, but we see a little more of her and I loved it. Even though these books are ultimately about Finlay and Vero’s relationship, I love her budding romance with the cop. It adds so much extra tension with the fact that he’s in law enforcement, and she’s in the middle of these crimes.
One little thing I struggled with was Vero rushing into everything. I get that she’s a hot head and never thinks things through but so many things went wrong because of her. I’m sure it adds to the tension and drama, but it was too much at times. She would never listen to reason and just did what she wanted anyways.
Overall, I did enjoy this one, and I thought it was a lot of fun. We have many supporting characters, and we learn a little more about them all. There is some added tension with her relationships, and I can’t wait to see where things go with Nicolas. I cannot wait for the next adventure with Finlay and Vero!
Many thanks to Minotaur Books and Netgalley for an e-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
