The MC and ML's dynamic is S.U.B.L.I.M.E. They are the definition of a charm offensive, as a reader I'm swept of my feet by the charisma oozing from the screen. Add to that their diametric opposite positions and their perfect back & forth (can we call it a rivalry?). The story, the mystery, becomes invigorating and worthwhile. I'm having a damn good time reading this. It's just that good!
