Valldeperas has done it again...maybe even better this time. Tailspin is the followup to Toxic, in which we get to tag along with Nathan instead of Logan. I think I might have liked this one better because I like Nathan better. At times, he was a bit annoying with his "let me save you" complex, but by the end I loved that about him. This is the kind of book you want to have with you when you have a day to spend at the beach (best done in Florida :) and you just have a few hours to spend reading away in guilty pleasure. Also, something weird happened. I ended up really liking Logan by the end of this one too. I sort of saw her as just a victim in the first book, but when she gets her act together, I finally started to see her for the beautiful woman that Nathan had already seen. I must have had the "junkie" blurring my vision because for the longest time, I didn't see what the big appeal was to Logan. Mostly I just thought it was an interesting story and I couldn't figure out why Nathan was so invested. By the end of Tailspin, I understood.I have to say though that one of my favorite parts of the book were the humorous parts between Nathan and Derek. It actually reminded me a lot of the duo between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena in "End of Watch." I was actually laughing out loud in some parts.Overall, great read. I'm happy to have had a chance to get an advanced copy.P.S. I really loved how we got to see the other side of things with matching the events and switching POV. I thought that was done really well and was very interesting and I loved that I was already invested in the story because I knew these characters. It's easy to see now why authors do series.
