This was too mellow. I expected something with many teeth and a lot of juice, but it was tame. Very tame. We still don’t know who hired the kidnappers. I assumed it was in Tracht’s direct interest to find out, but I guess he was either sloppy or not as possessive as the author claims him to be or just... didn’t give crap about his family business and personal belongings? I am still hoping he pulls himself together in book three and the culprit gets what he/she deserves. ( )

This is just a short check in with Tracht and Alex. This time, Alex ends up in trouble because he helps to save Tracht's nephew. That makes Tracht mad because he doesn't really care about his sister's kids and because someone took Alex and hurt him. Plus there's the whole thing with his sister.

I still like Alex and Tracht. I don't like Anna. She's just rude and terrible. ( )
