Entertaining and compelling to read, but … I don’t know. I guess I thought the book would be smarter than this. I could see every “twist” coming from a mile away, and the book kept reminding me of Artemis Fowl, for some reason.

I bought this book last night and read it straight through. I don’t know why it touched the chord it did, but I ended up crying through half of it. Yes, it’s a Red Dress Ink book, yes, it’s chicklit, and yes, everything ends very neatly, but it was GOOD along the way.

I have been completely sucked into this series.

Cute and mostly fluffy. This one at least had me laughing aloud a few times.

I think I laughed aloud more at this book than some of her others! The ending though—it just ended! Shortest denouement I’ve seen in a while. ;)

Okay, I loved this book. “Charmed Life” had me laughing aloud on the airplane. This book is good for older kids who liked the Harry Potter/Ella Enchanted sort of book and now want something else to read.

Cute, light, fluffy. I guess I’ve become used to a different type of book, even a different type of cozy mystery.

Oh dear. I was so hoping all of the reviews were wrong, but they weren’t. This book is just boring and overly detailed. Almost nothing happens. I tried to really read everything so I could keep up with the story, but there are so many times you can read endless strategy and battle details (as well as wardrobe details). Oh well.

I’m always happy with a Donna Andrews book.

Might as well try this one, too.
