Author: Julia London
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback

Helpful Score: 1


This was my first Julia London book. I have to say that I never felt drawn into the story, and I'm not sure if I could say why. The pacing was a little slow, and the backstory a little too "heavy" for what I like to find in my romance books. I didn't find it very "witty" except for 1 or 2 pages in the entire book when the h/h fought over some benign decoration. The subplot didn't draw me in either, I found it confusing and there was too much name dropping and too little explanation. Because of my lack of understanding of this "mystery" I guess the book wasn't all that intriguing.

Based on these other reviews, however, this doesn't seem to be usual Julia London fair, so I'll probably check out another one of her books from a different series.
