5.0
I loved this book! It was such a fast paced and action packed thriller. I love how it blended a courtroom drama with a mystery thriller. The writing was so good - tense, funny and interesting. It was so engaging. I absolutely love Eddie. He is literally one of my all time favourite characters now. He’s smart, witty and actually has a good heart. I love how determined Eddie was to do what was right. I was so pleased that the Lizard was in this book. He’s… crazy, but I love him. All the other characters were well written - I wasn’t sure who to trust because most of them were suspicious to me. I enjoyed watching all their secrets get revealed. The plot was complex and had so many layers to it which I loved uncovering. It had so much going on: murders, cons, money laundering, courtroom scenes and even the cartel. It honestly did shock me a lot - there were some big twists that I definitely did not see coming! The way it all played out and was revealed was amazing. It was very explosive and had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the ending.
