Kat and Lock are perfect together. I love how this book picked up right where the last one ended but this time we have a serial offender on the hook. The AI element in this book is just fascinating. I think that this book does a fantastic job of outlying out we can benefit from the use of AI. I don’t think that AI belongs in creative spaces, but in terms of being a tool for different settings it works. I know it’s really helping in the medical community, and I think it could be useful in policing as well and this book highlights how it could be helpful. I love how the different perspectives were handled. I often struggle if there aren’t clear chapter headings so am always leery when they aren’t there, however this author did such a great job switching but making it clear that I did fine without it. I love how the layers of this book were divulged. It felt like we were slowly unpeeling layers of an onion, and the big reveal was so good! I loved the twist and just how the author did it, so good. I loved everything about this book and hope we get another!

This is a book that could work as a standalone, but I think I got so much more out of it because I read the first one first. You get all the background on Lock and how he came to be, and I think that was so insightful.
