Book 1 in the Shadow and Ghost series. (New series, new author, but I'm guessing this is best read in order.)
Quick 20 summary: Shadow is a masterful thief that doesn't get caught, except he got caught by a sexual act with handcuffs. He is given a second chance and asked to join an elite force fighting dark magic. Ghost is a legend on his own in this elite force, the Renegade, he wears a hood and mask, not really revealing his face to others. The two work together to solve mysterious killings.
This was a really good book, I really enjoyed the images the author conjured up with their words. My go to read is not fantasy or even urban fantasy, but I felt like this was a pretty solid storyline with their appropriate twists and turns that even someone like me who prefer romance can enjoy. It reads like an action movie, and there were many parts in the book that I did not see coming. The slow slow slow burn nearly killed me, but I still stayed up really late two nights in a row to finish the book because it's just that good and I couldn't put it down.
Also the cover looks amazing!! I definitely want it displayed proudly on my shelf.
This is a single POV, which is refreshing as it keeps the audience guessing, we can only understand what Kit understands and with his neurodivergent mind it's rather funny at times.
"How can you not tell that I'm into you?" "I've been blatantly flirting with you for months."
"I thought you were just fucking with me."
I really enjoyed this book, and I'm very impressed that it's by a first time author, Lex did a great job concocting this world, and I'm looking forward to book 2 already!
