A review by jpjackson
Addict by Matt Doyle
4.0
I really enjoyed this story. Cassie the PI was owlie and rough, yet you knew deep down she had a tender heart, and of course by the end of the book that shows through.
I also loved the depth of world building and creative use of technology, and kudos to the author for creating advances in tech that I would never have been able to come up with.
I LOVED Bert. That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to include any spoilers. But I will say, I want one!
But then I also want an Ink too. Ha! Sound intriguing? You'll have to read it to find out more!
My only criticism would be that the story is very heavy on exposition and sometimes verges on the dreaded info-dump. I would have liked to seen more details of the story played out through clever dialogue, of which the author was entirely capable as seen with lines like: “I sit back into the chair at the head of my work table and take a big grimace-inducing mouthful of sadly milk-free wake-up juice.”

I also wanted to know more about Devin, the shirtless, buff, cowboy assassin. Who doesn't want to know more about THAT!
