Having already had as much of an origin story as I think we're likely to get, in the Nite Owl component of the series, this book serves as an additional story to show Rorschach in action alone.
The book demonstrates his determination to seek justice, despite everything thrown at him, which we see later in the Watchmen book proper.
Rorschach is determined to try and clean up the streets and seeks out the pimps and drug dealers he feels are responsible for the state of New York. This is in the midst of The Bard, a serial killer preying on women and writing poetry on their bodies. Interestingly, these two stories work in parallel, Rorschach only catching up to deal out justice in the final pages. This goes against the reader's expectations and was a nice contra-twist.

AWESOME !!!!
 I have been waiting for this book since the last one came out (Which seems like for ever ago, but in reality was only a couple months).
 Thor finally gets the girl, Or in this case a Queen Mother. Instead of the Queen Mother playing matchmaker this time, her kids decide to push her out side of her shell and set up a series of dates; really publicity stunts to gauge the public's response to the Queen Mother moving on and the possibility of new love for her. But the Queen Mother already has someone in mind, if she can get him to go along...
One of my favorite books by Carol Moncado so far, although I think I say that about ever book she writes. I would Highly recommend putting this book on your TBR Pile.

This book was good. If you don't mind a book that's race-filled and less on the romance and more on the action, which with this I didn't.

I had a few issues with it. Samantha was a bit annoying at times and totally oblivious to some things. And how Jonathan talked--which isn't that big a deal, I know, but I'm English and when I ask questions I NEVER end it with "Yes". Does anyone do that?!

Other than that though, I got really into Samantha's journey from winner of everything small circuit, to F1 test driver to F1 racing driver. She deserved it and she earned it. She overcame many issues and grew up a lot.

I've noticed that there's a second book in the series and would like to read that too.
