Ok, rant over.
The first half of The Denial is the best book in this series. Ives comes into his own, bringing all facets of his fantastic personality to a concise point to deal with the departure of the one he loves. He's smart and quick thinking - but maybe a bit too pedantic for my liking.
Outside of being pedantic, Ives major character flaw is that he always seems to underestimate Allina. She loves him, all of him, why in the world would she ever be upset if he has to cross some lines to bring her to safety? Throughout the Killing Game Series he continuously underestimates Allina's ability to understand forgive. While that brought will they/won't me drama in the beginning, I think their relationship has moved past that.
This has moved from a book review to character analysis. It can't be denied, The Denial is very exciting and filled with action and mystery that picks up perfectly from the end of the last book. It is thrilling.
Just don't pick up this book first, I definitely recommend reading the first two books in the series beforehand, I think it would really help with understanding the plot.
