When a seemingly unoccupied plane crash lands in the middle of Kelton, Jarli’s attempts to lay low and out of Viper’s criminal crosshairs crash lands along with it.
The cause of the accident is a mystery until his Truth App uncovers a dangerous secret at the crash site—a secret Viper will do anything to keep buried.
Suddenly Jarli is a target again and on the run with his high school tormentor, Doug. There’s no one he can trust, not even the police—and Jarli’s starting to think Doug is hiding something, too. Constantly at odds and left with no other choice, they team up to conduct an investigation of their own. But when Doug’s past comes back to haunt them, Jarli fears that there’s little hope in getting out of this one alive.
Kelton was supposed to be the perfect hiding place. But there’s no hiding from the truth.
This time last year, I reviewed the first book in this series. A lot of what I said about that one apply to this one as well; it's fast paced, it's exciting, it's a short read compared to some teen novels. The mystery of the Viper deepens as Jarli finds himself caught up again, through no fault of his own, in the crime lord's machinations.
Anya, one of Jarli's sidekicks in the first novel, was sidelined in this one in favour of a new friend. Jarli also gains a couple of tentative allies, and I have a feeling he'll need all of them when the series continues. I'm not sure how long this series will run, but based on these two, I'll be right here to find out what happens next.
A great quick read, and you could read this one without reading the first one as just about everything you need is explained in it.
