Thanks to Penny, I got an ARC of this book. Presley Parker is hosting a murder mystery to raise money for San Francisco's de Young museum when the play's victim dies in real life. The final quarter seemed a little bumpy with Presley being over shocked by things I thought were obvious. The climax still surprised me and kept me turning the pages.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:




I kinda liked how this one ended. A horribly nice death for a character who was kinda silly and pointless anyway. Their whole arc felt jarring, at even at the end, when we know their single character trait they've been given, it felt really strange for the character to act the way they did.

Huuuuuuuh... 4 more books...

Oh gosh, where do I begin! I couldn't put the book down. I was weary for maybe 5 minutes because I didn't understand why it started how it did, but I'm so glad it was written that way. I loved how Sadie would go from present time, to reliving a memory, and back again. I felt for her, I was frightened for her. I'm blessed to have been given the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. It was such an amazing read!

I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and because of all the great buzz it had already I was really excited to get it. I loved the way the chapters alternated between Sadie and West and I really loved that the ending wasn’t tied up in a nice little package. It felt more realistic which I enjoyed. I would recommend this book to someone and I’ll probably pass it off to a coworker who was really interested in it once I described it.

Hmm

3.5 stars.

As happy as I am that we figured out who murdered the biatch, I struggled a little with this one. It didn't have the same sort of feel as the first two but I guess things had to be a little darker in this one to finish off this trilogy story arc of the Royal's and Reed and Becca's story.

I am still very much in love with this messed up family and look forward to reading more of them very soon.

The third season of CBS's modern-day American-set reinterpretation of Sherlock Holmes, with this season - IMO - very much one of two halves: during the first season we have the whole Sherlock and Kitty plot arc (whilst he is initially estranged from Watson), while the back half is more akin to the first two series in set-up.

I must admit, also, that - while initially I found her to be quite annoying - the Kitty character did actually grow on me over the course of the season.
