Velvet, Vol. 2: The Secret Lives of Dead Men (Velvet #2) by Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting (Illustrator), Elizabeth Breitweiser (Illustrator)

Well, Velvet Templeton is now being hunted, but who said a spy turned secretary turn fugitive in her 40's can't kick some major ass. Ms. Templeton can give James Bond a run for him money. As Velvet continues her investigation into who set her up and who turned her whole life into a lie, things get super crazy. Just when you think things are can't get any crazier, Velvet learns there is a whole new game being played and she is not as up on the game as she thought. We meet new players and new enemies that will keep us running to the next issue.

The art of course is incredible; and am I the only one that is loving Velvet's hairstyle and that experimental suit, damn, bulletproof, knife proof and bite proof. Now that is a spy suit. The storyline, not to be left behind, really delivers; you really gotta love spy stories.

Game of Fear (Montgomery Justice #3) by Robin Perini

What do you do when your super smart little sister disappears and the only clue is a note, you are 100% sure your sister didn't write?

If you're Deb Lansing, you go ask for help from the good looking, former cop, bartender. When Deb's little sister Ashley disappears, this tough as nails, former Army pilot teams up with Gabe Montgomery to find her sister.

Gabe is currently working undercover, but when Deb comes to him for help, he'll do anything to help the woman he's been crushing on for months. Soon, Gabe learns that his investigation is intertwined with Ashley's disappearance and a murder that happened many years ago on the night his father fell from grace.

Deb and Gabe end up running for their lives, trying to stop a major conspiracy and save the day. The story was good, the characters, despite their very over the top skills were likable. The only thing thing that I did not like, is that we don't get enough details on the villain; here he is pulling what could be considered the greatest crime in history and we know nothing about him other than he like Gucci. If you like action packed, crime solving books, you should check this one out.
