Reviews

[Angel (Bookn.All.Night) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a different type of cozyish mystery read for me and for the most part was enjoyable. This is categorized as romantic suspense and it fit that OK.

I loved the storyline...secret FBI agent married to an unknowing wife whose life is put in danger due to husband's secret identity. Chaos and danger of course follow them while they strive to stay alive.

While I did love the storyline and the main characters, I felt like some parts of this were repetitive and wish this was a tad longer BUT since it's on the cozyish side of genres I understand why it wasn't. I'm definitely going to read more of this series.

This was a nice quick short read. It was about a female whose husband “died” and her life was rooted up from the ground she had a lot of horrible things happen to her. Later we find out her husband wasn’t actually dead but all those horrible things that happened to her were partially his fault (aside from her mother). The reasoning behind his faked death was crazy and if I was put in her position I’d be shell shocked too! the plot was somewhat predictable as you kept reading BUT it was a mindless read which was just what I needed for the weekend. I do feel as though the story needed to go through a few rounds of editing however none of it took away from the story and I could care less about that as long as the story is good in which case it was

Excellent start to a new series. Can't read to read more. Each author is different. Each book is a stand alone mystery that you won't be able to put down!!

This one was really good. I liked the premise and the mystery was exciting. I had trouble putting this one down when life interrupted.
