This was so much fun! I loved Erin’s character and the fast-paced plotline surrounding her case, and the dangerous and thrilling situations she gets into. Gigl managed to keep me at the edge of my seat the entire time, and I would have finished this in one night if I didn’t have to go to work the next morning. The representation was excellent and well-written, though sometimes the conversations about correct terminology were a bit grating, but I think those were intentionally written for people who don’t read a lot of queer literature. Plus, considering that this book was published in 2008, I really don’t have many complaints about it. My only other gripe was that there were so many characters and names, and sometimes I struggled figuring out who people were in relation to Erin and her partner. But all in all, the writing was solid, the characters were interesting, the plot was engaging, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. In the end, I’m just so happy this book exists and I can’t wait to read the next one!
