Finished Once Upon Stilettos tonight. I really wanted to like this one, but it really fell flat for me. I hated how Katie acted in this one. Granted a lot of it was due to how she was being tampered with, but her inability to trust her coworkers seemed really out of character for her. It really soured me on continuing the series.
I'm also struggling with one of my book hunt books--the random selection from my to read list. It turns out I already own it so I want to finish it though.
I should start this one !!!
