And I thought the first book was explosive. Yes, it was a lot of personal misery, but this book adds twenty years of compacted emotional abuse (giving and receiving) to the action. I'm not exactly sure how a professional cat burglar keeps causing this level of property damage, but it seems to be accompanied with an equal amount of inner turmoil. Her father's death brings her back to the place she's spent her whole life escaping from to deal with the people she least wants to see--including the sadistic human trafficker who kicked the whole story line off. Before she's even finished with the viewing, she's delivered two badly needed beatdowns, so you know there's going to be a lot of satisfying punching, right down to the endurance competition at the climax.
