I appreciated the human trafficking storyline. I liked the romance between Julian and Tessa. It was difficult to put down once I started. Good suspense.
What I didn't:
While I appreciate Tessa's dedication to her job and getting the story, I thought she did some not-so-smart things. This lead to her needing to be rescued by Julian. *eye roll*
It was unrealistic to have sexy times after a certain someone was shot in the back 5 times. (Look no pain! The magic sex makes it all go away!) It mentioned 5 bruises the size of a palm on this person's back. Ouch!
My last bitch is Tessa quitting her job at the I-Team. She enjoyed her job and was good at. I understand why she ultimately quit (conflict of interest). However, this is becoming a theme in this series so far, since Kara quit hers too in book 1. It's far too common that women (in general in real life) often give up and/or turn down career opportunities for the men in their lives. I don't particularly like to read about it in my fiction too.
Fantastic book! I think Pamela Clare is a talented author! This book is a rollercoaster ride. It keeps you turning pages and makes the hours pass by quickly.
Tessa Novak is a reporter, part of the I-team. She witnesses the murder of a young girl and gets sucked into a whirlwind as she investigates the murder and crosses paths with mysterious Julian Darcangelo. Each of them has had troublesome childhoods which have molded them into the tenacious and wary adults they have become but gradually they begin to act on the attraction that they feel for one another. The problem is that neither may live long enough to admit the feelings for the other. Another enjoyable addition to the series.
