Spoilerish...Cannot get enough of these books.I read the ICoS series recently and at the end of Fade I was dying for more. This book is a spin-off of ICoS.Let me tell you: this writer impresses me to no end. The way he dominates the language, his narrative is freaking flawless! And he has such a way to describe some stuff. There's a whole new kind of violent in this book. Sexy violent. LOVED IT!I have to say, I liked this book a lot. It was dense, just like I imagined it would be. It takes place in the same world created in ICoS. And there are character cameos from the main series like Carhart and Sin *grinning* and the dude that attacked Boyd in the first book *ugh* and guess what? We see a lot more of Chance (And I'm still not impressed)The characters in this book Gordon and Adam are both very flawed but perfect to make us feel all kinds of emotions.Gordon is an outgoing, sexy, trouble maker red head. And Adam is an assassin with a conscience.The first half of the book focuses on explaining the world, which kind of bored me a little because I already knew what the world looked like, but I guess for people that are not familiar with the main series this was a smart thing to do.Back to the characters. Gordon reminds me a lot of Emilio, even the way he talks, and even some situations such as being extremely 'available'.At times, Adam seemed like Sin but then again there cannot be another Sin. Ever!Any way, the story is basically about how the two characters came to be together, and it was, well, perfect.Now we need a part two explaining what they're up to. Because a lot of issues weren't solved.  We know (kind of) what happens to them eventually thanks to Fade, but it would be nice to actually read all the details.
