I really enjoyed the first book in this series - Evie is smart, sassy and refreshingly imperfect; so I was looking forward to reading the sequel. However, by the time I reached the end of what was a relatively entertaining read, I realised two things:1. The world Evie inhabits is ridiculously fantastical. The agency she works for bears no closer resemblance to a real world espionage agency than Hogwarts resembles a real world boarding school. I started to get a bit irritated with the MacGyver/Chuck Norris approach to law enforcement.2. Nothing is really resolved by this second book. In fact, I felt Evie and co were racing down more rabbit holes than ever before. It left me wondering just how long this story can keep dragging on for - and, yes, I'll go so far as to say I felt it was beginning to drag. (Let the protests begin!)I was pleased to see Evie and Coop stepped it up a level in this story, because Servario left me completely cold, but I was a bit irritated by the notion that they are a looong way from any resolution.It was humorous and sexy - but it was also starting to lose my interest. I'm not sure that I'll read the next instalment.If you're a diehard Evie fan, you're probably going to love it!
