Oh the bodies are dropping! I think there must have been another murder every twenty pages and there really isnt much time to do a whole lot of gawking with this novel.

Im not a blood and guts kind of girl, Id rather reader a romance over a murder, so when I read a murder, I take them suspenseful. If youre going to creep me outthen. creep. me. out. I think this novel didnt a pretty fair job of that task. The balance between murder and romance was pretty well level, though it did tip a bit heavier towards the murder business side.

The novel did feel a bit as though there needed to be a killing to keep the tension level high, but I didnt think it too much until the ending.

I loved it when the story took a personal turn for our heroine. Putting someone close to her in danger, totally upped the anty and pumped my blood. Excellent moment in the novel. The only place where I thought it totally came out of character for the novel was at the end and the twist. Which of course I cant say anything, so my lips are sealed, except to say I didnt see it coming and wasnt sure it really fitbut thats just my personal opinion.

All in all, great book, cliffhanger ending, darn that author! ;-) And I have to wait more months until we figure out whats in that envelope people were killing over. Shoot.

Pun intended.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publisher for my copy to review.
