I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

I can't say I liked the Mc for the majority of the book, but in the end, he grew on me. He is rough around the edges and going through hell, but he is working on it. Cherabino is more my speed, but we don't get into her head as much as I'm used to in books. I don't think this is a bad thing though, more something that will be brought up in future books. The characters really seemed like cops to me and made the book more realistic.

The plot was interesting and in fact suspenseful. I found myself sucked into the story, blood pumping and gasping at times. This was really unexpected. I did not think I would get into the book and form attachments to the characters that much, but I was!

The reason I didn't think I would be brought in all the way, was because for most of the book I felt disconnected. There is much mention to the Tech wars, but we aren't told exactly that was. Nor, when telepaths and such were made public, or if everyone always knew. At times, I felt that this pulled me out of the book or that I was reading book #2. Yet, when thinking about it, it makes sense. Why would the MC explain the Tech Wars to himself? The brief mentions and peeks into what happened make much more sense. I believe the background is something that will continue to be unfolded as the series continues.

There is some explanation on telepaths, teleporters, etc. which I felt was needed, so I lapped it up. It is quite interesting. It does make me wonder why some of the new things our MC is going through weren't already made public... at least to him.

So, at this point I'm kinda invested in the characters and I want to see where this story goes. Definitely one I'd recommend in the future :) I look forward to reading the next book when I get the time.
