Two stories in and Avery Cockburn has successfully made this genre exciting again (for me at least). Hands down one of my favorite new-to-me authors and series this year. I'm off to read the next novel and short story. Review for this one have to be posted later. But let's just say that I LOVED IT! Finished the last 1/3rd on 40 minutes trip train commute this morning (which is always a sign of a good book, because I usually prefer to sleep during those commutes *lol*)
