Detective Siro Ferreira-Nunes has transferred from Olympias 1 to 3, which was always his goal. However, when he arrives he quickly discovers that his first assignment may be his hardest, and most gruesome, yet. In the heart of Oldtown with a new partner with a giant spider on her head, Detective Spader, the duo must uncover the culprits behind a mass grave and a murdered celebrity. The brass want answers and The Dragon has given them a week to solve it.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I have said it before and I will say it again. I love Anna Mocikat books. No, I am not just saying that because after having done reviews for her for years she has become someone I consider a friend and that I talk to regularly. I love each of the worlds that she builds and the descriptors used. Each time you read one of her books, no matter how long it has been since you last read one, you are instantly transported right back to where you were before.
That being, while this series is set in the Behind Blue Eyes universe and features two of the characters from said series it is not in line with book 4 of BBE, which was the last one of that series I had read before jumping into this one. Book 4 of BBE technically takes place after Neon Nights 1 since Neon Nights starts on Siro's first day in Olympias 1. I will say that when I started reading Neon Nights the scene was so similar to the scene where Siro and Spader find the mutilated Angel I messaged Anna and asked if it was the same scene. She told me that it was intentionally set up like this and to keep reading. Was glad I did as the scene turned somehow even more macabre than the mutilation.
Like I mentioned, the author does an amazing job of transporting the reader to the scene. It is easy to see the characters in the book as well as the things they are having to bear witness to. You meet some new characters that are not mentioned in the BBE series as well as mentions of ones we know well. I really enjoyed getting to see more into Siro and Kate as I loved them in the BBE series. Them getting their own spotlight with their more interesting cases is going to be fun.
While this book is book one in a series it seems that this series will be set up more to be one book resolutions just containing the same characters unlike in some of the other series. I will go into a bit more detail on that in my review for book 2, which I have already read. There are only currently two books in this series, but I am sure that there will be more adventures with this duo in the future both in this series and, of course, in BBE. If you haven't already read BBE you CAN read this book in the series without spoilers.
That being said, all of these Sci-Fi adventure books are on Kindle Unlimited. They are well-written, exciting, and full of action. And cyborgs.
