Book suddenly introduces new character on Koko's team... CIA Agent Bookman has lost control of his assets. Hex, a do-anything for the goals agent is out to kill Koko, or at least cripple her. Warning, it progresses to a full-on sex scene as Hex gets info.
Overall, it's a little too ... predictable? There is some exploration of Koko's psyche, but it is really surface level.

As someone who's into stories that consist of modern political turmoil, arms dealing, guns, black ops, etc. Jormungand was an incredibly engaging read and keeps you hooked on your toes. It may have some problems when it comes to its plot but the characters and engaging and fun with the action being incredibly fun.

One of Koko's bodygaurds is a double agent, and has to decide where his loyalties lie when a rogue agent sets up an ambush for the team.
This book continues to hold my interest. The art is awkward at times, but conveys the action and violence really well.
