Full disclosure, while Josh Lanyon is still a solid dependable author for me, but I haven't been fully satisfied with anything she had released in the past two years. So I came to this one feeling a little skeptic and trying to tamper down any expectation. Also, knowing Lanyon's brand of romance, I though I'd better focus on the mystery part rather than the romantic portion.

Okay, I grudgingly admit that this was better, especially if I had to compare it with Lanyon's latest

A promising start to a new series and new pairing Lanyon style.

2016 - This was one great book! The start was a little bit slow and I thought it was going to have this emo boy undertone with Jason, but that soon turned around. Jaso was a great character, yeah with a little dramatic flair, but he is smart too and independent. He doesn't just let Kennedy boss him around.
