At the beginning I thought this audiobook was a bit slow paced, compared to the first book of the series. That was a miss. When the mystery started to pull me in it actually sucked me right into the very event horizon of the vortex - leaving me incapable of putting the book aside. Thus, I ended up binge-listening it through in one go. The plot kept me guessing till the very peak of the story and left me reeling!!! Oh, and it was hot, too. I really love the quirky, weird protagonists and their love story.
