I read this right after I finished [b:Just One Damned Thing After Another|29661618|Just One Damned Thing After Another (The Chronicles of St Mary's, #1)|Jodi Taylor|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1459230212s/29661618.jpg|25626746] so that the events of the last book would be fresh in my mind. That was maybe good and bad, because while I remembered fine what had happened, I also remembered all the things that annoyed me. Like the fact that the author often does not spell out what the fuck is happening in the story and I just have to guess from context clues. Sometimes I think she does it to prolong the plot, and sometimes I think it's just her writing style; either way I think it's bad writing.

They don't catch Ronan in this book either, which I'm sure I already knew, given that there's 8 books so far in this series, but if I have to read about them failing to catch him for another 8 books I'm going to be pissed. I don't even 100% understand why Ronan is a bad guy, but of course as he slipped through their fingers at the last moment, Max pretty much just goes "oh, well, we'll get him next time."

I finished reading this last night and I can't remember how it ended. I do remember nothing was resolved. I'm also starting to wonder if Accent Press is a vanity publisher because there were more typos in this book than there were in the last one, and the last one had a handful. (I just looked it up. It's not, which is almost worst.)
