Review: Good Read, but I Needed Book One
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is the 2nd book in The Artist's Trilogy ( Book 1 = Sins and Needles and the prequel novella = On Every Street), and I must admit I was suffering a bit from not reading the previous installments. It took me a bit to catch on to the premise of the story and the author's writing style. Karina Halle tells a good story and this one is told in Points of View that alternate between male and female, and for once; the male point of view sounds really authentic. I was quite impressed by her skills. The pacing was even, if a bit frenetic. It was definitely hot and steamy and quite graphic, but intensely satisfying. An edgy dark journey of twists and turns with strong multi-faceted characters, suspense and drug trafficking, and an ending that will leave you wanting more. Hopefully Book 3 is coming soon, and book 1 is still available.*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
