Dirty Deeds (Dirty Deeds, #1). SE JakesReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.I came into this series late, a couple of books back and to be honest the whole spy/black ops trope has me a bit confused and yet...these bunch of characters keep pulling at me. Tough guys on the surface and yet underneath they have fears and desires, needs and hopes, even though they don't seem to admit it to themselves. So I have to keep seeing what's going on, whose met up with who, and how things are going to work out. Guessing is no good – I’m getting it wrong every time :)Up to now Cillain has been to me a bit of a mystery man, I keep finding out bits about him via others, texts, pc etc but the whole man...well here he is in this book and getting a glimpse into how his mind works is fascinating. Throw in mysterious Mal and – well – its dynamite when they both try to work their way round the other, trying to see what the other knows, what the other is planning and who's really pulling the strings. Its a book where everyone seems to be watching someone, the wrong move means death, quick sudden death, and no-one is as he seems. Well that's how it seems to me, spook fans may find working out the puzzles easier of course. Still, that doesn't stop me enjoying the story and wanting to know more...Still, I wish the book was longer, I wish it didn't end on a cliffhanger – I really, really hate that. I don't like these “chapter” type instalment books, I want everything in one fell swoop. That would be a five star read.Stars: four stars, fun book, spies and spice all in one..ARC supplied by Netgalley
