dark, but good.
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.

THis is book 1 in a new series by Logan Chance, and it spins off Men of MAddox Security (I think, since I read that series and Dean Maddox pops up here!) But you don't need to have read those for this to make sense. Arrow popped up at some point in the other series, is all.

Juno's sister was murdered, while she live streamed. And Juno sets about finding her killers and getting some justice, somehow. She resorts to the dark web, and meets a masked man who offers to help. Said masked man is none other than her best friend, Arrow, who puts trackers on her computer, so he could keeps a eye on what she was doing in the dark web. CAn he keep his identity a secret, while helping Juno??

Ohhhh! I liked this, a lot!

Juno and Arrow are perfect for each other, even if they have been friends for years!

What I loved most about this, was when Juno finds out who the masked man is, and what he has done, she's not mad, or angry. She understands WHY Arrow does what he does. What she does feel, though, is a whoosh (almost, since it's been brewing a while!) of attraction to Arrow and she forces the issue. Loved the way she does that.

It's dark, Arby, Juno's sister is murdered live streaming. There are some darker forces at work here but I did NOT see where they were coming from. So well played on that front, Mr Chance!

It's steamy, once Juno and Arrow get their act together!

It has some funnier moments, but I wouldn't call this a romantic comedy. Emotional in places, very much so.

A character, right at the beginning, has a say and I wasn't sure why he did for a long time. But it does become clear, in the end.

A huge supporting cast, who I believe will get their own stories. Looking forward to that.

But heads up about this one. The murder is live streamed, and on page, from a viewer's POV. Harrowing reading, but I do think it is needed.

4 VERY good stars
