Blueprint by Romilly King (The Teams Book #2)

Title: ⟫ Blueprint 
Author: ⟫ Romilly King 
Blurb: ⟫ Meet Blue - The Arranger - Psychopath - Utterly Lost
 
My name is Indigo Jones, I smile like a human, I walk like a human, I kill like a god who believes in evolution. The Handler system gave me the blueprint to being human, so I won’t stand out in the crowd, but they can’t change the way I think, and death and all its aspects entrances me. 

Most humans don’t want to think about dying, I never stop. It’s my deviancy, that fascination with how you die, every little detail of it. 

I had someone to share my passion with once. My soul match. My symbiote.

They are gone now, it’s just me and the silence in my head as all the dark questions pile up, like so much oily pressure. My work keeps the pressure from blowing me apart, but The Team is a shadow of what I once had, just enough to keep me sane. 

Some corner of my brain though, it keeps looking for them, convinced they will come back, and make me whole again. The arrogance of the psychopath!

Monsters aren’t allowed to make wishes, and monsters don’t get happy endings. 

Review: ⟫ We finally get Blue and Trans' story. The problem with adoring a pairing is that it's incredibly hard for an author to live up to. How do you write an epic love story for a couple who are almost one person from the time they meet when they are young? It's a fascinating story and easily not as far-fetched as we might wish. 

Blue and Trans are as enigmatic, annoying and intriguing as always and it was good to see Nathan and Grey. I think I wanted it too much - nothing could really live up to what was in my head - but it was nevertheless a good read and addition to The Teams series.
