Romantic suspense kills me (when done well anyway). The need to know the end, to know what happens, and what clues I am missing, drives me CRAZY! And so, it is one of the romance sub-genres I read the least. I genuinely feel like I am giving myself anxiety issues when I do 😅
All that is to say this little duet was beautifully written and kept me anxious almost the whole way, which a romantic suspense is suppose to do. So if you like romantic suspense, give this little gem a try. The review for the first book is here.
Blurb:
I was sent to save the city.
It turns out I'm the poison that will destroy it.
Sun City is a city divided, eaten away by the corruption of the Elite upper-class who reside in the Gold District. The drugs siphon down into the middle-class White District, killing the dreams of its residents until they end up in poverty-stricken Blue District.
Ana Jacobs has spent the last year of her life atoning for her father's sins and searching for the truth about the Trinity. During the day, she's Sun City's best cop. At night, she becomes Night Hawk, a bow and arrow wielding vigilante who dispatches those within the Trinity's corrupt Inner Circle. Between both worlds, she works to fight her demons.
Years of torture didn't break Ana, but the truth just might. Now, with the burden of how she's tied to the city's death sentence, a new villain places her and all she loves in their sights. She's determined to protect her newfound family, but when she comes face to face with the Nightwatchman, Ana realizes the man she loves is as tangled in the city's lies as she is.
Together, they might be able to save the city -- if only Ana lets Levi in.
But some demons never rest.

This book starts where Into the Darkest Night left off, so you really cannot read one without the other.
Ana and Levi are together now but their secrets define who they are and if things are to work between them they have to find a way to share those secrets with each other.
Most of the book focuses on them trying to figure out who is behind the virus and who is en-charge. A little after the half way point I had my suspicions about who it was but it was not obvious, you are still left guessing for quite sometime.
I really can't say more without spoiling it all for you, so I guess you will just have to give this a try.
One negative? the same I have with almost all suspense books I read, things take a while to happen. But that really is the way the genre is meant to be so it is just a matter of preference and of what you like reading.
