This action-packed story about friendship, influence, power, and community is so heartwarming and gut-wrenching all at the same time. I loved to see the bonds of friendship tested as team JERICHO tries to decipher clues, but I also enjoyed seeing how these very diverse characters handled the tough moments and how their different life experiences led them down very different paths when confronted by the darker sides of society.
It did take me about 20-30% of the book to really get into it and overall I really enjoyed the story and thought the pacing was perfect, but the ending was what truly blew me away and had me tearing up. Without spoiling it, I’ll just say that Jax, Yas, Spider, and Han have truly wonderful parents and the chapters dedicated to them interacting with their parents after the events of the story are wrapping up are truly some of the most moving chapters I have read in a story.
Rating 4.5 stars
Thank you to BookSparks and Brittney Morris for the gifted copy. All thoughts are my own.

So, as with all Brittney Morris reads, this book was filled with fast paced action, intriguing characters, and a major hot button issue. In this instance, big oil coming in and ruining everything for the people already there. This book packs in all the sensitivity and minority characters it can in such a short read. Appreciate that she uses sensitivity readers to get them just right.
As for the story in this one, I wanted something different, but get why the puzzle had to go that way. It won’t stop me from reading Brittney’s next book.

A fun story that explores important topics.
This may be for you if you like reading books with:
Multiple narrators,
Diverse characters,
Fast, action-packed pacing,
Rival scavenger hunting teams,
Anonymous social justice groups (in this case The Order),
The impact of mega-corporations on local homes and businesses,
LGBTQ+ representation, and
Social commentary (racism, classism, and more).

I loved Slay, so I was really excited to see another book from Brittney! I loved the multiple POVs and how each character was so unique. The audiobook had different narrators for each, which I found really helpful and brought the story to life. I was looking for a book with substance and this one had it while also being entertaining and heart-thumping.
