5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, Clever, Riveting - Everything You Want in a Book August 27, 2012

Simply put, this book was one of the best reads I've had in a while. The phrase, "I couldn't put it down" has lost its significance due to over use, but I'll say that I couldn't wait to get into bed at night and get my Baeli fix before falling asleep.
This book was a blessing and a curse. -A blessing because it was so satisfying, but a curse because I was sad for it to end. So...I read it once, went back and read "Armchair Detective" again and then read it again. It is a sequel to "Armchair Detective, but it could be read as a stand-alone. I would recommend reading "Armchair Detective" because the character development in that first book really helps cement the reader's understanding of Jobeth and Phoebe's remarkable relationship.
The book is written in both the first person and the objective third person. Baeli moves deftly between the two conventions. Jobeth's (and everyone for that matter) sense of humor is both smart and funny and she is a charming lead character. The author writes wonderful dialog that is keen, witty and original.
Unpredictable action packed mystery. A must read series! May 15, 2012

This book was even more gripping than the first! I feel like i've known the characters for a long time and hated to come to the end of the book. This is the first time in reading a book, that i purposely took breaks from the reading to digest all that had happened before continuing on. It was just one shocker after another and amazingly engaging. Izzy's character was so well done that it seemed like i knew her better than the other protagonists. Absolutely LOVE her!
Like the first book, you will experience a wide range of emotions while reading this. It's intelligent, hot, and witty and will have you laughing with the characters, angry, sad, and in love right along with them. I am still amazed at this author's ability to break the mold of the predictable lesfic genre. She is in my top two of all times and you are missing a gem by not catching up on her work...
definitely read this book, and read Armchair Detective first. Both are well worth the time and money and better than most of the other books of this genre.
"The humor, the drama, the dialogue, the plotting, the characterization--all expertly rendered. It's another can't-put-downer. What a delightful sequel to an already outstanding book (Armchair Detective). We love Baeli's stories and characters, and will never tire of reading her offerings!"~KIWI Club Reviews
