Crosswind is a clever, black-comedy that uses its premise to set up an arc for two uniquely interesting characters. It skilfully balances to darker elements with moments of levity and stunning character work that leaves the reader thoroughly empathetic. In the end, we are left with a tantalizing question: which one of our protagonists was more relieved by their switcheroo. This book doesn't need cliff-hangers to get you hooked, all it needs is your time and it certainly deserves it.

Half Past Danger 2: Dead to Reichs #1 is the beginning of an endearing, witty, and joyful adventure that once again proves that Stephen Mooney is the king of modern pulp. Long may he reign.
