I first came across Rachel Caine when I was reading her <i>Weather Warden</i> books which, by and large, I all found to be rather enjoyable. This was the first of her books not in that series that I have read: unfortuantely, I found it to be a distinct drop in quality from that other series.

I found this to be actually quite morbid in places, and also seemed to take forever to go nowhere in particular. To me, it lacked the beating heart (pun intended) of a good story!

fantastic second book in this series
This is the second book in this amazing trilogy. The story continues in this book from the first one. Same amazing characters with such intense chemistry between them. This book is filled with action, sex, angst and twists and turns. The story unfolds more in this book, sucking you in and keeping you reading long into the night. I can't wait to read the final part in this trilogy.



Highly recommended series

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book

Ok, on occasion these books can get a bit repetitive. However, there is a larger story arc that encompasses the series. Even though you could probably read the individual books early in the series in almost any order. This is a bridge book. Which for me is strange in the third book instead of the second. It bridges the beginning books to the over all arc. It is a reactionary book where the main character reacts to the bad guys instead of plans ahead or has time to change the gut reaction.

Enjoyable
First series was not too bad but won't set the world on fire. It's a hard one to review because it just lacked that something but I don't know what that something is. Will I watch series two? Yes probably, I feel it's going to get better as the characters develop. I think on some of the scenes I should be on the edge of my seat like I was with GOT et al but I wasn't. Let's hope it grows, it has the capacity to do so.

It’s all over!!
I didn’t actually realise that this was the last one in the series until I got to the last page. I had an inkling, but there was always the hope that it was just a pause: but it’s THE END!! And what an end! Everything has been wrapped up nicely, with a good dose of adventure in the lead up to the finale. I’ve really enjoyed this series and I’m rather sad to see it end, but I’m glad that it ended on a high.

It’s no law and order
Happy - a darkly comical crime series with plenty of action and outrageousness!! The series features Christopher Meloni ( looking somewhat ragged compared to his SVU days) we an ex cop turned hitman, that is injured and begins to see a flying blue unicorn.

His irritating blue sidekick takes him on an hilarious journey to rescue a young girl, who is the unicorn’s best friend! Expect a few laughs at this noir-ish style comedy that takes you to the borders of insanity!

Omg!
I watched the whole 1st series in two days.
Wasn't expecting much from this but I was hooked after the first 10 minutes.
Joe seems like a normal guy meeting a girl at first but it gets really creepy really quick. Not only is he watching her through the window he also has access to her iCloud so can see every conversation between her family and friends.
Can't wait for a second series to see how it continues now his Ex is back.

Absolutely stunning show. I loved it as much as the book. Normally I tend to prefer the book over the tv show/movie but I thought this was well done.

This has got to be one of my favourite shows. The gradual development of tension throughout the series keeps you wanting to see the next episode and there was never a boring moment. The story follows the main character Joe who is a stalker and takes a liking to a woman called Beck. Beck's character annoyed me and I don't understand why she had no curtains but, I think Joe's character was presented well and I liked that more was revealed about him as the series went on.

What can I say about this incredible tv show.Based on the comic book series this series does not hold back on the violence and language (dont think I've ever seen the C word used so much in a TV show) and other extreme stuff that you would never associate with superheroes.

I wont give much away because people may still be watching it or havent started it yet but it's one hell of show that everybody needs to see.

I have mixed feelings about this book because of what's happening in the story. It's a very intense book with a lot of emotion and action and everything going on and I was caught off guard by quite a few things in this one.

I can't wait to find out what happens next!

If you haven't checked out this series, you should, but be warned, it's going to be a rollercoaster for you and your emotions. Also you'll likely have some book hangover issues after reading this series especially this book
