My Thoughts:
Author R. Weir hits another home run with Fallen Star, the second book in the Devine Devils series that features Hunter Devine as the main character. Hunter is a former U.S. Marshall turned P.I., and he is tough as nails. If you read between the lines, you can see that he also has a conscience. I couldn’t ask for anything more in a main character for this genre.
Fallen Star features a Hollywood star that has fallen out of grace. Megan Getz is a white-hot mess who lands herself in the middle of a blackmail scam and still cannot lay low. Hunter must love a challenge to take on this case! When Hunter and his team go deep into this case, they’re not only trying to find Megan’s blackmailer but also a solution to the case that ended Hunter’s career.
I appreciate that the characters are realistic and that the situations are gritty. The world-building is incredible. The plot pace is intense! While I liked the author’s “cleaner” lead character and storytelling in the Jarvis Mann series, I do appreciate Mr. Weir’s storytelling chops. It takes talent to have that breadth of characters and situations. The case Megan Getz gets Hunter involved in is dramatic and thrilling. I would be shocked to hear that any reader is able to not read this book in one sitting!
