This series has not only created two charming characters in Linnea and Parker, but it also provides a much needed fix for fans of thrillers and mysteries. Issue #3 fleshes out the characters while still giving readers a tense third act. Read Full Review

Dogged, if dull, detective work gets Linnea and Parker much closer to the cult than they had anticipated. Read Full Review

I think they spent almost too much time on the flashback in this issue, but otherwise, I really like this book. I'm not sure how many issues it has, but I'm excited to see where it goes. The relationship between the characters is what keeps it interesting in light of the Eyes Wide Shut storyline. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/wEksq4qv4yo
