I picked this up after I saw the movie because I liked it so much, and I’m very glad I did.
Rachel Chu is thrust into the lifestyle of the crazy rich in Singapore when she and her boyfriend Nick travel to attend a wedding of Nick’s best friend. She is treated horribly by Nick’s traditional family and their friends, who are trying their best to get her out of the picture. We follow as Rachel learns about Nick’s past and family, secrets of her own past, and see her struggle to figure out who she is or what she should do.
The book changes perspective every chapter, so you really get the back story on and thoughts of all the main characters. You learn about this lifestyle that is so extravagant I couldn’t even dream that big. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to pick up the next book!

Natari (73 KP) rated Embrace the Night (Cassandra Palmer, #3) in Books

I'm rereading this book for the third time and it's still as funny and sexy as the first time. Cassie is so engaging, it's hard to find such well written characters that you can truly see yourself being friends with and wanting to meet. Not just because you like them, but because they feel real.

In Embrace the Night, the third book in the Cassie Palmer series, we start to see a much wider picture with new characters and new enemies popping up - and it doesn't seem like Cassie's "usual run of bad luck" no there seems to be a greater - more sinister - purpose that is getting the baddies with the big guns to crawl out to the woodwork to attack our poor little clairvoyant.

Tons of fun, and be prepared to fall even more irrevocably in love with Pritkin and Mircea. What a love triangle to be in.
