Book Rating

This is the very first Melissa Marr's book I have read and it will not be my last. I've always have had an obsession with Faeries but I don't normally read books that feature the fae. I always fear that they wouldn't live up to my expectations. Luckily, my best friend and a bunch of booksellers convinced me to read this book.

The characters were unique, and just downright lovely. The plot was fun and kept me guessing. I loved the twists and turns that were present too. This is a young adult novel but I didn't feel like I was too old for it. It was refreshing.

If you're looking for a great Faery book, look no further! This book is great!

Excellent pacing to the next Cullen adventure. A body is discovered in the hidden streets underneath Edinburgh's old town and the ensuing investigation leads them to investigate members of the Scottish music scene and venture North to Cullen's hometown of Dalhousie (loosely based on my own hometown of Carnoustie), and West to Glasgow.
The story also continues the ups and downs of Cullen's relationship with Sharon McNeill and his career aspirations, building on the previous books in the series.
This is quite a short and very pacey book that is a genuine page-turner (as the chapters are quite short it's always "one more chapter", until the cleaner gets angry at me spending too long on the toilet at work).

MelanieTheresa (997 KP) rated Leverage In Death (In Death, #47) in Books

Nov 12, 2018

Always a pleasure, the In Death series is hands down my favorite series of books in any genre. It's like going back to old friends with each new installment. By the 47th book, you know the quirks and eccentricities of each character, from over-the-top Mavis to Galahad the cat, and you can't wait to "see" them again.

Leverage in Death, while a great addition to the series, featured a central plot which felt a bit clunky to me. It was appropriately horrifying, but a bit convoluted - not nearly as streamlined as past installments in the series. The characters, as I said, are always interesting, and it's their interactions with each other that make this story work.

All of that said, I'll be eagerly awaiting #48!
