In Catalyst we are introduced to Sadie and Rafe. Their history is rich and the tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
There were so many moments where I found myself shouting at Sadie to get out of her own way before she blew it. Watching the two navigate through their feelings and finally reconnect was incredibly satisfying.
Note: In this one, there is a dash of spice though! While the spicy scene was a bit of a surprise, it was a very welcome one. The build-up between Sadie and Rafe made it feel earned and much needed.
I was also beyond excited to see Stone and Len continuing as characters throughout the story! Their presence added such a great layer to continuing the series.
Once again I couldn't put this book down. The author kept me on my toes until the case was solved and then wrapped up the plot beautifully.
I am excited for the next one!
