Since the book began w the kidnapping & torture of Dex while Sloan, Cael, and Ash waited anxiously for a hint of where he might be, you might think it’s strange that I found the book so engrossing. But my title is true, and the book was SO engrossing that I finished it in an afternoon. Read it straight through. No breaks, not even to pee. I couldn’t stop reading. I had to find out what happened next.
There were old and new villains, a totally different take on an intelligence group, and finally, an explanation for all the strange little annoyances that have been bugging Dex over the last few books.
Indeed, while in most of her books, at one point or another, a character will point out that Destructive Delta isn’t just a team it’s a “family,” I’M starting to feel like the characters are part of MY family (which is totally crazy and absurd, but when you’ve read 7 books in a row with the same characters, occasionally changing POV, you start to feel close to these people. And it’s just like real life. You have your favs: Ash, Dex, Sloan; the ones you like to read about: Cael, Calvin, Ethan, Seb, Hudson, Austen, Ash’s female partner which isnt leaping out of my head [so yes, I like reading about her in the sense of how she relates to Ash], Tony, Sparks [more in the sense that’s she’s scary as hell]; other members of team; and ones you dislike, like Taylor, bc he would not stop hitting on Dex, even when it was made clear Dex wasn’t interested (reminding me of every guy who ever hit on me in college); or the Dr from the Therian facility, etc.)
And I do not lie. While I’ve been leaning towards Ash as my favorite character, just because, this book reminded me both why I loved Dex and Sloane as a couple; indeed why they’ve been the main couple of the series.
I happen to a fairly fast reader so not everybody will get through the book as quickly as I did (some more quickly, most a bit slower). But it is so so worth every single moment. Bc the book is packed with so much information, action, and emotional upheaval that you will feel thoroughly wrecked by the end.
But in a good way.
