So You Found The Body, Huh?
A facetious university student hijacks a James Bond-like adventure—in all the wrong ways.
When the sarcastic and mischievous Charlotte is whisked away from her university lecture by some very serious men in impeccable suits, she believes it to be a great opportunity to be able to skip class. The only problem is that she will have to miss a few more classes than anticipated as she is not allowed to go back to her boring life. Instead, her life as she knows it is turned upside down when she is immersed in a world full of lies, action, and Secret Intelligence Services as she appears to be the last key to prevent a war.
Unfortunately for them, she is a cunning girl with an interesting sense of humour who has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. She may not know how to physically fight or aim a gun, but she has a weapon fiercer than a nuclear missile: her words. And she will use them to manipulate, insult, and deceive everyone around her. Even herself.
But as lies coming from all directions uncover, and her past catches up to her, her roguish act will slowly have to crumble to reveal who she really is behind the mask she so cowardly hides behind.
An action-packed thriller sprinkled with witty humour, a smidge of romance, silly politics, deadly spoons, and many unexpected twists.

What a terrific sarcastic, tough yet vulnerable heroine!
Wow! That's all I can say. This has to be added to my list of all time favourite reads. She's mouthy, sarcastic, acerbic, sly, clever and most manipulative heroine's but also one of the vulnerable and innocent one's as well as the most innovative. The plot is a simple one that grows as the read progresses. To bring down a power hungry despotic businessman who is trying to start a war and is suspected of having killed multiple people.
When she is pulled out of her class, she is surprised to learn that the secret government department has not only transported her to Britain but wants her to take on the role of another young woman. A young woman who looks exactly like her! Watch as she runs rings around the trainees, uses her words like nuclear missiles, gets kidnapped, drugged, threatened, abused and finally has to show up for the wedding she is being forced into. Can she get out of it in one piece? Why does she look so much like the other young woman? Will the tyrant have to face the music?
Absolutely wonderful read. Fantastic pacing, great action and showing skills that would put Mcgyver to shame. It has everything - emotion, pathos, humour, and romance.

A Silly, Funny, and Exciting Tale of Hidden Identities and Powerful Psychopaths
I really enjoyed this sarcastically witty adventure! The main character, Charlotte, was more complex than I had originally thought she would be. Her ability to outwit her captors, her saviors, and her own father belied a wickedly fun intelligence. While the title doesn’t really convey the story, it is a funny anecdote in the book. This author has a lot of promise as she continues to find her voice and matures in her storytelling. I look forward to what she creates in the future!

Book Bin Divers tackled something a bit different from our usual feel good romance. We selected So You Found the Body, Huh? by Eva Kloppenborg, a self-labeled suspense with strong spy elements and a lot of snarky humor. We know what you are all thinking - and don’t worry. There is still some romance with this week’s read. We wouldn’t leave you high and dry.
Charlotte Milton is our protagonist and she is loaded with sarcasm and defensive outlets. Charlotte’s law class is interrupted by a Men in Black (esque) team demanding that Charlotte come with them. As if unaware of her starring role in this version of Taken, Charlotte is relaxed in the face of these hostile uniformed men. She relies heavily on her smart-ass commentary to deflect what her abductors are dishing out, but eventually leaves with them. It’s all funny in an absurd sort of way.
Immediately, the reader begins to wonder who is this girl that is so obnoxious under pressure? Who are these men that can lay out an entire auditorium with their watches? Is she a spy? Are these really MIB? Does the professor who doesn’t do a damned thing work for them?
And, finally, the big ticket question, why does Charlotte go with them without a fight?
This one act that happens in the very first chapter seems to be the downfall of the entire book. Because in crisis, most women tend to fall into one of three categories: defeated, resigned, or combative. In every other high-crisis part of the novel Charlotte fights. She battles her way through every other situation relying on her intellect.
Yet in chapter one, she acquiesces. She voluntarily leaves the safety of her classroom with a group of men sent to abduct her. Is the story propelling her potential doom with these strange men? Once you realize the girl is really a fighter, the fact that she didn’t fight her own abduction casts a negative haze over her character.
So You Found the Body, huh? might have worked better as a novella. There are whole chapters following the classroom incident that could be omitted without detriment to the story at large. In the chapters following the first, Charlotte’s smart-ass retorts jump the border into bratty, kid sister antics further killing any likability her character might have had.
The saving grace is when Kloppenborg sends in a love interest, code-name Lynx. And ooh, do we love how this guy loves. Charlotte is a mental hot mess and does not look her best, yet he gives her a hug and ignores the drool. Lynx is a trained agent and she’s (maybe crazy) a law student, but he lets her take the lead in a tactical exercise. Strong men who let strong women do their thing are hot.
Charlotte does have demons in her closet, explaining a lot of her behavior. Luckily, she has found herself a guy who is just the right fit for her kind of looney. Readers will empathize with her pain and even root for her as she has to overcome all sorts of threats, but for us it was still too late to like her.

Two stars
This was a really weird book. There were times that it was really hard to follow what was going on. I had to continue reading, and then go back and reread it to make it all fit into the scenario that was presented. She was told so many lies that when she was told the truth, it was hard to know if that really was the truth. I almost quit in the middle, but I went ahead and finished it. I'm still not sure if I'm glad that I finished it or not.

A sassy college student finds herself confronted by the authorities in a law class at a non-prestigious university. Why is she wanted by the law? She's a dead ringer for the daughter of a rich man who seems to want to start a war with the United States. This is a pretty zany story. I kept reading because it kept getting nuttier and nuttier.

Fun love the main characters.
Great book fun read. The characters were reasonable realistic. I love that it actually showed growth in the protagonist but seemed realistic. Will read more from thus author.

Outstanding read
From the get go it is action, action, action. A very well written and crafted story. Strong believable characters and a fine understanding of psychological and emotional behaviours. Enjoyable from the start to the end. Leaves you wanting more.

An Exceptional Read
I really enjoyed this book. The young lady in the lead is feisty and smart, facing extremely difficult hurdles. The plot is convoluted and held my interest throughout. I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Quirky and Fun
The first chapter of this book really set the tone for a book that really was unlike anything I've ever read. Charlotte's reactions to extreme situations is so contradictory to what anyone expect.
I would have given this 4 stars but there were far too many grammatical issues to ignore.

This book was a lot of fun to read. The author is witty, funny, and ceative, and so is the main character. Funny scenes are alternated with exciting plot twists that will leave the reader stumped and wanting more. Every page reveals new information and every detail will turn out to be important.
I definitely recommend this as a book to read when you want to relax and take your mind of everyday life. This book will defintely cheer you up.

I'm in awe of this book, it gripped me from the first page and I loved following Charlotte through the story. She is an interesting character with so many great aspects but she is also flawed which I really admired, especially in the writing as it didn't try to take away from her history and developed her so well. A lot of story's make their characters too perfect, I loved that this wasn't the fact here.
The plot is amazing with so many twists and turns that I just didn't expect, I was definately with Charlotte through the shocks and
surprises.
I will admit to choosing this at first partly for the title which I loved, its so very fitting and reflects the story in more ways then one.
The whole cast are interesting I adore Robert especially and Wade. Loved the conflict with Vincent and noir, it was rather different and I liked how that was handled. The discussions and exploration of Anyasl were so good.
Romance wise it grew on me I'd still like to see explored/developed more however I think it was rather suiting to Charlottes personality and Lynx is adorable.
I've kept this spoiler free, believe me it was difficult... Because I really loved so much of it and I noticed apparently going to be a sequel? So that should be awesome.
4.5 stars, dropped to 4. I wasn't sure on the romance mainly and that's unusual for me as I usually am easy for love interests. I liked their friendship and interactions which is great, however it felt too quick love wise although I understand it in terms of the plot.

This book is fantastic! I read it in just 2 days as it captures you with its story and characters. I love the fact that you can relate to the characters because they do act like their ages. I can not wait for the next book !!!

What a Fun Romp!
I’m not sure what I thought this book would be, but what it turns out to be is an engaging story with characters you’ll care about, more twists than a box of Krispy Kreme crullers, and a satisfying resolution.
