"Trick Roller" was a stunning and gripping sequel. I think I loved it even more than the first book. It's packed with action and mystery, with lots of lovable and peculiar and interesting characters and scorching hot romance that made me sigh and blush.
Seven of Spades, our mysterious serial killer, takes a back seat during the events narrated in this second novel, with a different murder mystery on the frontlines occupying Levi's mind. But they're always there, hovering, to remind us (and Levi and Dominic) that they definitely have not been caught yet. And boy, that ending was chilling and scary and I'm not sure my heart will be ready for the next novels.
Levi and Dominic's relationship is much more present this time around: during this book they're still in the early stages of their relationship but they already grace us with tons of mouth-watering scenes, packed with sexual tension and a huge amount of chemistry, and also some of the sweetest and nicest moments ever: they both care for and respect one another so damn much. They're compatible and like-minded, and the power balance between them is evenly matched and that is probably the best thing about them.
Since I've purposely spoiled myself by reading the blurbs of the next novels in this series, I know that book number three is going to destroy me so I'll take a quick break and devour them all SOON, in quick succession.
