MY REVIEW.
4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Read Like A Movie.
Like a literal movie script. W.J. Saunders has packed quite a bit with this first book in the After Midnight series. There is a lot of players and a lot of action page after page. This review will be vague to protect the storylines.
"You may kill people for a living, but there's a certain cleanness to what you do. You go in, terminate your target and leave, but once you immerse yourself in my world, it will stain your soul and you'll never be clean again."
The blurb says it all, however there are a ton of minute details and players around Shadow and Selene, the city of Vegas the biggest. Shadow is there to to a job, one he didn't realize he has been so close to. She isn't the girl he once knew and it doesn't take him long to realize that.
The book is well and as I said chock full of details and drama, as well as some sexy and of course angst. There is a lot to digest and at some points it felt a bit draggy, the story could have been tightened up to move quicker. There is a second book to the series, Violence & Vice and it'll be interesting to see where these two end up.
