★★★☆☆ Probably my best three-star read of the year. I really like this author’s voice, and I’m sure I will go on with the series... maybe on audio next time. However, there were several things I went “Huh?” over.

The dialogue between the H/h at the very beginning, for one; but it improved. However, the worst was the obligatory plot device: “have the heroine pull a TSTL move in order to get her in the clutches of the villain” - not once, but twice! Although, the “buddy read” members I read this w ...more

3 stars for story, 1 star only for the WORST EDITING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! I kept having to re-read passages because of sloppy sentences and just mistakes. Irked me and took me out of the story.

Not sure if I'll continue with the series though. ...more
