Corporate litigator Mia Shaw is devastated to discover the mutilated body of her friend and coworker, Chase. She will do everything in her power to get him justice, but the accused turns out to be a friend of her acquaintance security tech Noah Ramirez, who refuses to believe the man did it. When Mia's boss hands her the case that Chase had been working, Mia finds some strange emails that point to corporate espionage. Even though they disagree on Chase's murderer, Mia can't deny Noah's security skills, so she brings him into a case that proves a lot more dangerous than either ever dreamed . . .
I really enjoyed that this book has the opposite perspective of the first book of the series (rather like bookends to the series)--instead of taking on a company in the wrong, Mia is working on the side of the company being accused of wrongdoing (though it isn't clear-cut right or wrong--I'd call it something more like murky corporate politics). I enjoyed the complexity of the story, with different threads in different cases that may or may not be related.
It was also fun to have Mia and Noah on opposite sides (at least for a good while), yet still be able to work not just professionally but kindly with each other. In truth, I wasn't sure at first that I liked Mia--she was so adamant about who Chase's killer was and unwilling to consider an alternative that it turned me off for a bit. But when she was willing to work with Noah--and agreed to be willing to change her opinion should the evidence point that way--then I instantly softened toward her, and she proved an excellent heroine for the remainder of the book.
Thank you Bethany House and NetGalley for the complimentary e-book. I was not required to write a positive review, and all opinions are my own.
