Week 16 Review: Icon and Inferno

From Goodreads:

Spies meet romance meet popstars in this thrilling follow up to Stars and Smoke by bestselling author Marie Lu.

A year has passed since superstar Winter and secret agent Sydney Cossette went undercover - on a dangerous mission to bring down the baddest man in London.

Winter hasn't stopped thinking about Sydney since, and she's been trying not to think about him

Family secrets and nasty newspapers has Winter desperate to re-enter the secret world. And it's not long before he gets his chance.

Sydney is back, and this time the mission goes right to the heart of the United States of America. A rescue gone wrong, an assassination attempt - and the return of an old flame - puts Winter right back into the action . . . and into a country on the brink of chaos.

And when a murder accusation has Sydney on the run, suddenly it's not just a life at stake, but all-out war.

My Review:
Of course I loved reading this book, I loved the first and I was so excited to read this one! And oh, it was another fantastic read, a fantastic plot of spies and superstars, and I couldn't get enough! And with the way that it ended, maybe I will get more! 

I'm not sure if I'm right, since this was in audio, so I couldn't go back and check, but I think this is set in the same world as Warcross, which was so great, and that we had a cameo from Emika, which I loved. If I'm right, which I hope that I am.

This book had a fantastic mission, and also fantastic developments in their relationship, with an added bonus of his ex, and her ex both coming along. And with some pretty high stakes to the case, yeah, I couldn't get enough of this book!  

The way that it ended, yeah, that was so good, and pretty satisfying with how that whole case was wrapped up. And that final chapter with the redacted conversation, it gives me hope that we might get a 3rd book, which would be so great! 

I loved reading this book, and I'm really hoping for more!
