While the summary and cover are beautiful the book falls a tad flat for me. The author makes the main character to ballsey and in your face. The plot is flat and most of the story revolves around her lying about some thing or another.
I think the idea was there but the execution just fell flat for me.
Those who want a more fluid story with not much up and down would enjoy this story.

I absolutely love this author, another amazing story. The characters were fantastic and had very hot chemistry between them. This book was so real with lots of funny dialogue, it was such a beautiful story to read. This book had the perfect mix of sexy hero, strong heroine with the perfect chemistry. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

This is the first book in the series and what a fab start it is. This is a story about two broken people trying to mend. This story is heart breaking as well as beautiful. The characters are fab and work well within the story. Its a bit slow in the beginning but stick with it, it is definitely worth it. I cant wait to read book 2.

Fantastic all star cast
Terrific choreography
I can't believe how much I loved this movie. Hugh Jackman just keeps getting better and better in movies. The original score and beautiful choreography, mixed with a very talented cast make this movie an all star hit. It is now in my top 10 movies of all time, truly great for any age from 9 to 90. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Sam Spade is a PI, and when his partner is murdered, he starts to look at the case. Was it the case they'd just taken on for a beautiful client? Yes, it's a giant of the genre, but I found it slow, especially at the end. Maybe that's just how things have changed over the years.

Presley Parker's latest party is a wine tasting in the beautiful Napa Valley. But murder follows her when a despised environmental crusader is found murdered after the party. Convinced the cops have the wrong killer, she starts investigating. I find these books fun. The plot was a bit uneven, but overall an enjoyable read.

I was experimenting with listening to audio books during my commute when I "read" this book. While the format was a little disorienting for me, I absolutely loved the story, enough so that at some point I'd really like to go back and read it "for real."


I will say that Gaiman is a beautiful reader, and I'm glad I listened to the story purely from the perspective of getting to hear him read his own work.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.
