Synopsis (Goodreads):
Geek girl Lexi Carmichael thought getting engaged would mean calmer days ahead. But when Slash's past brings up more questions than answers, she's not going to let anything--or anyone--drive them apart.Thoughts on No Stone Unturned: Whoa. This book had a slightly darker feel than some of the others. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. While the earlier books had high stakes and the potential for massive (even global) destruction, this one felt more personal to Lexi. And Slash. I mean, they've finally decided to make their intertwined lives more official and suddenly this THING is popping up that threatens to derail them.
Getting engaged is supposed to be a fun, exciting time in a girl's life. But things are never that easy for Slash and me. Instead, someone is threatening to expose Slash's past--a past so secret, even I know very little about it.
Before I can get used the weight of Nonna's antique ring on my finger, he's on his way to Rome...and we're farther apart than we've ever been. Still, I have no intention of sitting at home and letting him take on the Vatican by himself.
With a little expert-level hacking, I learn Slash is keeping secrets from me. Big ones. Dangerous ones. In fact, the more I dig into Slash's past, the more I discover things about him I never knew--things that eventually pit us against each other.
From Rome to the Amalfi coast to the highest levels of the Vatican, we both race to discover the truth. No matter what I find, we're officially a team now, so I won't let him face this alone. Even if I don't know if our relationship can survive it.
The issues aren't necessarily on a global scale, but it felt like there was more impact to them.
Huh. Apparently, it's the little things that get me. Like Lexi choosing to step back and bide her time once she realized how badly Slash didn't want her to see the thing she was trying to see. And their relationship! Oh, I like these two together. I'm big enough to admit I wasn't thrilled with their pairing when it first happened (for reasons that had nothing to do with Slash, mind you), but I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT Team Slash and Lexi now. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
Maybe it was getting into Slash's head that did it. I like that guy. He's honorable and deadly and REALLY FREAKING GOOD at everything he sets his mind to do. He and Lexi make a solid team with skill sets that complement one another in the best possible way.
I fell like I'm being a little flaily and gushy, but THESE TWO. I like how they work things out when things get dicey. I like how they stand up and fight for one another when needed. I like how they're willing to take on the most powerful people in the world if it comes down to it.
Team Slash and Lexi! YES!
