Hell for Hire

Disappointing.  The characters are good, but the plot and pacing feel rushed.  Challenges are built up as impossible only to be overcome easily, without real effort or sacrifice.

The thing that will keep me from continuing the series, though, is the main character.  Her tough side and her soft side seem like characters that should be in different books.  Complex characters are interesting, but Brex feels bipolar.  Sometimes she's a strong warrior that fits perfectly in an action packed adventure and other times she's a blushing damsel that belongs in a romance novel.  A kick-butt fighter that has a vulnerable spot when it comes to romance is absolutely a character I would read about, but when it comes to the (kinda cringey) romance, the transformation feels rough and jarring.
