New characters were added and characters from the first book were given more booked time. I felt like I got to know each and every character. The dialogue was used to push the story forward and everything had a purpose. At one point I was caught completely by surprise. I loved how it gave me that moment.

I loved the first-person perspective, allowing all of the characters to share.
I was enraptured by the story within the first few chapters. The character interactions were so interesting I couldn’t get enough. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the author could sneak in the twists, and there were a lot.
When divorcee Justin Gray wakes up next to a beautiful stranger in Vegas on his birthday weekend, he assumes it's just a drunken mistake. When he discovers that he's married to said stranger in her early twenties, he insists on an annulment and assumes his life will return to normal once he gets back home.
He assumes wrong.
As the shapely blonde refuses to give him an annulment and insists the marriage continue, what was a wild weekend turns into a deadly mistake.
I loved that each chapter was a different character’s perspective. It kept the story moving through internal dialogue.
I am a big advocate of mental health and the author did an excellent job of respectfully incorporating the main character’s addiction. I enjoyed the colourful characters and unearthing the murderer!
