4.0
There's always a risk when a pairing is teased for three books, but fortunately Angus and Nari lived up to the hype. They were surprisingly sweet together, given the antagonistic start to their relationship, and I even forgave the glossing over Angus's rampant alcoholism, because true love solves everything, right?
The serial killer storyline was so creepy, and I was genuinely surprised by the ending. My one gripe is that there was a bit of a lax attitude to safety - I was fully expecting poor Selena would get murdered, as she's barely mentioned, despite being a target. I'm also sad that there wasn't more of a tease of her and Jethro, I would have thought that her being a target of a merciless killer would have brought out his protective alpha instincts, but nah. You deserve better, Selena.
I really enjoyed the continuing focus on found family, the Deep Ops bunch are just a loveable bunch of oddballs. The fact that they are all moving to the same cul de sac whilst working together is perhaps a bit much in real life, but in fiction? Go for it. Who wouldn't want to be nearby for Pippa's baking and Wolfe's quips.
I'm hopeful there will be more of this series to come, definitely my favourite by this author to date.
