Status Updates From Cease and Desist (The IMA, #4)

OH wow ok there's a desi character called Suraya who was introduced earlier in this book, and now her perspective is being included?! COLOUR ME INTRIGUED.

“Michael gave a Gallic shrug he might have picked up from growing up in the French Quarter”

I Googled Gallic shrug and the gesture is an accurate representation of how I feel about 73% of the time

“You want to rip my panties off.”
She said it in a low voice. The only suggestion of her embarrassment was a whisper of color tinging in her cheekbones. “Yes,” I growled.
“That's going to be a problem.”
I didn't back away. “Why?”
She crossed her legs, smoothing down her skirt. Drawing my attention to her creamy, light brown thighs. Making my stiff cock throb painfully.
“I'm not wearing any panties.”

"Because she was my weakness, and I would do anything to keep her safe. Even if it meant pushing her away." No, this can't happen again. He can't push her away again. And what is up with all these new characters taking over???

He even died like a storybook villain! In real life, I'm sure these guys will just shoot -pow pow- Michael and Christina dead. Story over. But in fiction - they always have time to hand around & chat - or play hide & seek lol :)

Very original at parts.

So it was exactly what I imagined. Except he did it to Christina too. Adrian is a caricature. He is a storybook villain, but 100x worse and grotesque. I don't see him as a real character or picture him as a real person - just the token psycho belonging to a story. But what a story :) Not the darkest I've read, but it's not afraid of the grit!

....

Suruya is a decoy protagonist. A bit like Drew Barrymore from 'Scream.' She has her own separate POV, only to be met with a grisly end. Adrian is one sick puppy - he's a bit one-dimensional, but I can't wait to read more.

Tbh, the main reason I started this series so quickly, because I was being kept in suspense....surefire way to pique my curiosity. Adrian. Wtf, are you gonna do to Michael? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely?

Very slow so far :(

Finally get to read this! Squeal with me, people. SQUEAL.

Leaning against the trunk of one of the flowering almond trees was a man in a black coat. He was a tall man, and the coat flapped around him like wings. When the clouds broke, the sun caught in his blonde hair, sparking a blazing halo of golden flame. He looked, I thought, just like his namesake — Michael: the beautiful, but terrifying, archangel of war." And that's probably his cue to shoot, swear, or blow up a car

Okay, I'm FINALLY getting a chance to read this. Probably not going to bed tonight. Too excited to sleep.
