This second book benefits greatly from not having to establish the world and the antagonistic secret society Zodiac, so the plot can both start quicker and tell a smaller, tighter story. But after a strange encounter while out with a friend at a nightclub, Kim comes crashing back into his life, pulling Will back into both covert operations and his bed. Will Darling, Great War veteran and bookstore owner, has been left high and dry in his tempestuous affair with gentleman spy Kim Secretan. The Sugared Game picks up a few months after the conclusion of Slippery Creatures, in the 1920’s. I may have to turn my attention to some of KJ Charles’ many other series, because I don’t know if I can wait to get the next one in my hands. I slammed through a lot of this book in quick succession, and the fact that the final book in the trilogy isn’t out yet has me in mourning. It feels like all of the aspects of the first installment were tightened, shined and enhanced and the end result is incredibly fun. I loved The Sugared Game, the second book in the trilogy. I liked Slippery Creatures, the first book of The Will Darling Adventures by KJ Charles. A sequel: The Sugared Game (The Will Darling Adventures #2) by KJ Charles ![]()
