While I didn't love Terrier – the first book in the Beka Cooper series – I absolutely adored this one. Achoo and Pounce are still my favorite characters, and I think Beka is really coming into her own. This volume felt very fast compared to Terrier, and I'm excited to move onto the third book in the trilogy very shortly...
Immersively enjoyable but the chase scene at the end is too damn long.
A fun book I'm glad I read it. The romance was shallow and off putting. The whole setting of this book makes it fun.
