Customer Reviews
This was an interesting blend of mystery and science fiction
This was an interesting blend of mystery and science fiction. I know the description includes romance, but I kind of wasn’t really feeling it. It seemed more like overwhelming lust, barely resisted, than any actual love or romance. I got a bit of a Castle vibe from this story, but I could just be having a Nathan Fillion moment because there’s a piece of the plot that seems like it could have been heavily inspired by Serenity. I liked that we get to follow the clues with Janey and Orlando. I had lots of suspicions about who could be the villain, but nothing definite until the right person was brought into custody. Now we know who, but not the full story of why. In fact, there are several different plot threads that don’t get fully tied off by the end of the book. I’m very curious to see which ones get picked up and carried deeper into the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
