I really wanted to go higher than 2.5 stars because the book was well-written, the mystery itself was decently planned out, though not completely solved; this will clearly stretch out over the course of the series. But I couldn’t go higher. The initial concept just made me too mad to see beyond it. – Smut Matters
The descriptions of the food were amazing. I could smell them coming through my Kindle. I don’t think I’ve ever had Russian food, but this book had me wanting to seek out the nearest Russian restaurant and order everything. – Smut Matters
This was a great start to the series. Even though I didn’t love Ethan, I really liked most of the other family members and KGI operatives we met, and I’m looking forward to their stories. I’m just sorry I waited so long to start this one. – Smut Matters
