Lying with Scorpions by Aleksandr Voinov

Sales in the Rocky Mountain states dipped the most significantly, down by 29 percent, with the South Atlantic, West North Central and East South Central all dropping 25 percent. Having said that, I am looking forward to the third one.New figures reveal that Bud Light sales have plummeted in every US region in the wake of its disastrous partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.Īmerica's flagship beer brand has been sent into a steep decline after it used the controversial trans influencer, 26, to promote the beverage.ĭata from Beer Business Daily showed that sales of the US's number one brand has fallen in every region of the country. He went from pretty much being the hero of the first book to the villain in this one and if an author is going to do that, it needs to be deeply rooted in their characterization. It seems kind of out of the blue and a bit too unexplained for my liking. That being said, I don't really like the character change that's occurred in Adrastes.

The world-building seemed to be on much more solid footing, there weren't quite as much shadowy politics and mysterious goings-on that weren't fully explained and the characters seemed more memorable for some reason too. Review 2: I liked this quite a bit better than the first one. I just can't imagine where Aleksandr will take us! But I trust it will be a fantastic ride! I'm so curious to see how this will wrap up in A Taste of Poison. which is fine, I can take or leave big fight scenes. more t new characters, great old characters, enough action to be interesting but not as much fighting as the first book. I wasn't sure about Aleksandr's decision on what to do with their relationship, but by the end of the book I approved. I had a hard time with Adrastes, he's changed a lot since the first book when he was the Officer. We learn more about his history in this one, and his family history. The story is just as complex and twisting as Scorpion, the characters are wonderful, especially Kendras.

When I saw on Twitter that Aleksandr was working on sequels, I was a very happy girl! I read the updated version of Scorpion not too long ago, and have waited for Lying with Scorpions axiously. I was under the impression that it was to be a stand alone novel. Review 1: WOW! I read Scorpion several years ago and deeply loved it.
