I really enjoyed this one, but I would be lying if I said it didn't piss me off. The person they were supposed to be saving in this book was, in my opinion, the villain, and he doesn't get any type of punishment! The person who they made the "real villain" honestly deserved to get revenge and I sided with them more, but whatever. If that makes me a bad person for thinking so, then so be it. Also, it seems that a few of the men in the series so far seem to think it’s perfectly okay to cheat on their spouses openly with no consequences, which just baffles me! Over all, I did like the mystery in the book, just not the majority of the men, but despite that I am excited to continue the series.
