Reading the author’s debut and then transitioning to a much more recent release provided a fascinating perspective on their growth. It's impressive to see how much Carter has evolved as a writer. While I found enjoyment in the first book, I had a strong dislike for the character Hunter; he really grated on my nerves. Yet, to my surprise, I found myself warming up to him in this instalment. This newfound empathy makes me eager to follow his journey through the series, as I believe it will offer valuable insights into his character development.
The plot was nothing short of captivating. The crime scenes were ingeniously crafted—graphic and intense, drawing me in completely. I was genuinely shocked by the unexpected twists and turns, particularly the conclusion; it was brilliantly executed, with all the various threads of the storyline woven together seamlessly.
I will admit that the climax felt a bit over the top at times, but it managed to retain my interest. Additionally, there was a loose plot thread that lingered throughout the narrative, and I was delighted to see it resolved right at the very end, providing a sense of closure that I truly appreciated.
Ultimately, I’m grateful that my sister encouraged me to explore this series. I have a strong feeling that it’s on the path to becoming a future favourite.
