I enjoyed this book. Even though it was a crime book with a murder it was also quite light-hearted.
It was definitely different to the normal crime books I read but it was still enjoyable.
I was gripped from the first chapter and once I got into it I couldn't put it down. There was just something about it that I couldn't put down. There was also a romantic story running alongside the murder.
The author kept me reading and it was written in a nice style.
I connected with the characters...mainly the main character. I got a sense of who she was and who she became towards the end of the book. She definitely grew as a person.
The book was intended for late teens to late 20's.
The blurb made me interested and the book lived up to it. The book didn't turn out as I thought it would after reading the blurb.
I would purchase the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

I'm really enjoying where this series is going. This particular issue was very good even if it did feel like it was missing that "X Factor". I really enjoyed the Mission Impossible spy thriller feel that the book is taking on and I'm really excited to see where it will continue to go.

David Gemmell has always been my favourite heroic fantasy author, especially his Rigante series. I.found this book rather slow moving, far fetched and hard to get into. Baring all that I did enjoy it once it got going,although maybe wouldn't recommend this one as much as his others.

This was another cute story in the bird brain book series. Very sweet story about Honey who tries to be a hero but screws it up a lot. It had a good moral of keep trying even when you screw up. I enjoyed it and I am glad i got to review it
  
this book was great. until the last quarter when the author realized she'd spent so much time on sexual tension that she'd neglected the actual resolution of the storyline and it became sloppy and COMPLETELY ridiculous and and and...
i'd still recommend it. hopefully the next novel in the series will be better.

The second in the series finds Faye the head of an archeological dig in Alabama. But mysterious events are happening at the project. The story dragged way too much in the middle.

An exhibit on funeral art over the centuries leads Sweeney to a mystery from 25 years ago. Meanwhile, the museum's housekeeper is killed. A strong final (unfortunately) entry in the series.

Vampire
This is the first in a long line of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. This book follows Wrath and Beth. Beth is part vampire but doesn't know it. Much more happens in this fresh look on vampires. I have binge listened to the first eight books in this series. They are great.

Great story
I couldnt stop reading, it’s a book you just can’t put down. You want to know what happens in the next chapter there and then. Unfortunately I’m borrowing from a library and I’ve only been able to read 2 other books from this series. Need and want to know more!
