I officially like this series a lot! I normally steer clear of creepy/horror-influenced things, but everything, the characters, their interactions, and the art, is just so ridiculously cute that it calls for me. Of course, I gotta answer it. :D

In this volume, Crismon is no closer to uncovering who she really is but is receiving visions/flashbacks of a past life. Meanwhile, Simon and she are drawing closer (apparently, they're dating) and Quinton’s getting saltier. SN: I like elegant, uppity perpetual-maybe-it’s-Maybelline-flowing-hair Quinton.

Now, some of these relationships (Crismon/Simon; Wisteria/Parameter) happened at break-a-neck speed. I thought I had missed a volume at first. But hey, I guess we got to the good stuff faster.

Of course, some werewolf vs. vampire action happens. It wouldn't be paranormal fiction without two creatures fighting. But the way it was handled was surprisingly mature. It wasn't on some boo-hoo, I just don't like you junk.

Overall, this volume felt really rushed, but I'm on board for volume 3. We ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm eager to see where that goes.

WHO IS SARAH!?! *screams at keyboard*

This book has all the fixings to make you “aww.”

I feel like I have seen this "underdog or kid befriends creature" story a million times, but this has giant robots protecting the Earth against triangular aliens, so it's all good with me.

Nice artwork as well. I'm sure the next volume will expand the characters a bit more.

STORY:
In Security Breach by R. Waites (191 pages), despite exhibiting major potential and leadership skills, Dwayne Walker's content being a low-ranking sentry at his father's guard syndicate. His lack of ambition is disappointing to everyone. But Dwayne is fine with his position until an opportunity presents itself, a crazy, dangerous opportunity. 

The premise of security is interesting. I know next to nothing about security/guard syndicates, but I feel the book explained everything without babying the reader.

Also, for those who don't care for it, no romance is present.

CHARACTERS:
Dwayne's delightfully witty and self-less. I like how chill he is. His (arguably) two best friends, Hector and Lila, are respectively a manipulative pretty boy and cut-throat boss chick. Honestly, their dynamics are entertaining. 

Hector is my absolute favorite. He's so snot-nosed (not literally). He's hilarious, prideful,  and awesome in his own right. I can see why Dwayne (and Lila) find him so draining at times.

Lila's soft-spoken and vicious, the best combination. 

Also, let's acknowledge that Major, Dwayne's smartwatch, is dope. I wished I could have seen it used a little bit more.

Lastly, I really like Barrel Walker (doesn't that name scream manly?). It's rare to see strict, serious parents that actually love their kids in YA fiction. 

Yes, he probably eats rocks for breakfast and doesn't cry when he slams his hand in the car door, but he loves Dwayne. Believe it! *Naruto voice*

OVERALL:
Fun cast of characters and good action and suspense!  I wouldn't mind reading more about Dwayne, Lila, and Hector.

I recommend it!
