Week 28 Review: Eclipse the Moon

From Goodreads:

Acclaimed author Jessie Mihalik returns with an exciting new novel about a rainbow-haired female bounty hunter tasked with preventing an interstellar war.

Kee Ildez has been many things: hacker, soldier, bounty hunter. She never expected to be a hero, but when a shadowy group of traitors starts trying to goad the galaxy's two superpowers into instigating an interstellar war, Kee throws herself into the search to find out who is responsible--and stop them.

Digging up hidden information is her job, so hunting traitors should be a piece of cake, but the primary suspect spent years in the military, and someone powerful is still covering his tracks. Disrupting their plans will require the help of her entire team, including Varro Runkow, a Valovian weapons expert who makes her pulse race.

Quiet, grumpy, and incredibly handsome, Varro watches her with hot eyes but ignores all of her flirting, so Kee silently vows to keep her feelings strictly platonic. But that vow will be put to the test when she and Varro are forced to leave the safety of their ship and venture into enemy territory alone.

Cut off from the rest of their team, they must figure out how to work together--and fast--because a single misstep will cost thousands of lives.

My Review:
This was another fantastic read! I loved the first book, and I was really excited to be in this world again, and with these characters. We saw their first meeting, and now it was great to watch their relationship unfold while dealing with all the crap that someone is pulling.

Kee is the hacker of the group, she knows computers. Then there's Varro, who's really good with weapons. They were on opposite sides of the war, but now that there's peace, and their leaders are happy together, well, time for some more romance! 

The fact that a good deal of this book, it's really only the two of them, was really different from the first book. But I enjoyed watching them lean on one another, and let some barriers fall, because there's feelings on both sides, and I loved watching things develop! 

The mystery of who was behind everything-and getting that proof-is the forefront of the mission in this book. Because if they aren't stopped, what's to prevent them from finding another way to reignite the war? So that was really entertaining! 

This was another fantastic read, and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here! There's at least one more traditional couple, and I can't wait for their story!
