Lev A.C Rosen does it again with this second installment in the Andy Mills series. I was so excited to see this added to Bookish First. Andy is on another adventure and we see a few faces from the last story as well.

Andy is back and isn’t getting many jobs in his new life as a queer detective. Word is out that he used to be a cop and people are terrified to speak to him. When an old flame ends up begging for his help, the past comes back to haunt him and buried secrets are brought back to light. Andy’s time in the Navy is explored and past, present, and future collide.

I really just love Andy. He’s such a good guy, especially in this book. I could literally read a million books about him and his friends. I love his character development from the last book. Lev has an amazing writing style and I’m always left guessing more and more with the mystery. There were so many plot twists and sad endings here, just like in Lavender House.

The cover in Lavender House had a very warm and pastel feel to it, while this book felt more gritty and noir, like the cover. I appreciate how the front of the books matched the feel before your begin reading.

I fully expect to become obsessed even more as this series continues, so I’m counting down the days till there’s another book! Thanks again Bookish First for the opportunity to read this early!
