REVIEW:
So I have been remiss in not reading the Shaft on Tour series (and I have already taken steps to rectify that), but even without the background knowledge on some of the characters, it was easy to get wrapped up in this story and I loved it.
The relationship between Kionna and Luke had angst, but mainly because she didn't want to let herself get to close to him, especially due to her current job situation. Regardless, they end up together anyway, and they're both good for each other, of course until the inevitable happens and Luke jumps to all kinds of wrong conclusions. Surprisingly, that was actually cleared up quickly since that's not the main issue of the whole story.
I was pretty sure I knew who the suspect was somewhat early in the book (it was very easy to eliminate the obvious choice), but just a few more chapters in I added a second person to the suspect list, so while I wasn't surprised who it turned out to be, I was surprised for the reasons behind their choice to do all of the damage and destruction they caused.
I enjoyed the cast of characters in this story, especially the dramedy that is Mitch and Shelby; it's so obvious about those two and their feelings for each other. What I don't know is Mitch's back story, and what's causing him to engage in the behavior he chooses on a nightly basis; I don't know if was brought up in any of the Shaft on Tour books, or if we'll learn about it in a future Artistic Pricks Ink story. Overall, a good story that I'm glad I got a chance to read, and I'm looking forward to reading the Shaft on Tour stories, as well as the future stories on Luke's tat crew.
