Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

5 stars! Even though the love triangle is still triangling... but it might be starting to die.

This is probably my favourite instalment in the Electra McDonnell series, so far. The action takes us away from London for the first time and the story focuses more on Ellie and less on her family, compared to the previous books.

I had an amazing time with this. The possible relationship development made me squee! Plus, we got introduced to a new character, who is on the side of our spy team and I would very much like to see more of them in future books!

If you enjoyed the other books in the series, I can't think of a reason why this one wouldn't also be a hit for you!

It does end on the meanest cliffhanger of them all, though. And I'm quite grumpy about the fact that I have to wait for the next book.
