Review

"Good world-building is a requisite for an exceptional futuristic romance, and Waddell delivers in spades. Crisp dialogue and a twisty plot make this detective story, set in space, riveting and exhilarating. A major plus is the way Waddell handles the burgeoning sexual attraction between her characters, which is mirrored by their growing respect for each other's strengths. The conclusion leaves opportunities for sequels, so here's hoping Waddell decides to revisit this universe very soon!"--Romantic Times BOOKreviews on True Blood
