3.5-3.75??? maybe? the ending pissed me off i’m not gonna lie and knocked it down a bit. but the whodunnit was fun! i loved the little mystery and piecing the clues together and the FMC’s quick wit. i don’t love that the FMC has zero female friends except her sister? and that every man she comes into contact with his described as “hunky”? including her extremely awful estranged husband? and the vampire-hunter actively trying to kill her? but i’m writing that off as a sign of the times and (warning im going to be mean) a man writing a FMC.

Just found this series. Free eBook and free audible with kindle unlimited. The narrator does the Lillian Byrd series. Excellent!!

I didn’t go into this book with any expectations and, for the most part, I did enjoy the book. It was a quick and engaging read, even if it was very surface level engaging. I did not like Sam’s husband and the way he treated her. I felt that her relationship with Kingsley was random and that it was created to say that she had moved on. Honestly, the most intriguing man in her life is Fang and she hasn’t even met him. Romance aspect aside, I liked the mystery in this book. I like seeing Sam taking charge with her life and doing worthwhile things. I would love more backstory on her and her life but I have a feeling that will occur in later books.
