I said in my review for the previous book that I have mixed feelings about this spin-off series, and the pattern of ups and downs continues because I liked this one more than the last.

There are still problematic and frustrating things in regards to sex, gender, stereotypes, etc. I still hate that Kelsey’s inner she-wolf literally NEEDS sex to not go berserk. I still am just not feeling this romance. But there was less focus on sex this time, at least, so I wasn’t as bothered.

As for what I liked, there was lots of Little Lee—he’s so cute! And the plot was good. I definitely got more into the book as we got deeper into the plot and mystery. In addition to having its own plot, this one also set up a bunch of stuff to come, and I’m happy to know that the open threads from Thieves have not been forgotten since I really want to know how those things will turn out!

Overall this was a middle of the road book for me with a fairly balanced amount of likes and dislikes, but I still feel too invested in some of the characters and the overall story to stop reading, and I really am looking forward to the next book.

*This is a spin-off series, and I highly HIGHLY recommend starting with Steal the Light. The original characters have a heavy presence, and I don’t think this spin-off series will be as enjoyable if you haven’t read the original one.*
