It was fine. I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it to anyone. I’ll listen to the second one, but only cause its free from the library and takes up time on my drive home.

I'd only read one Evanovich book before this one and had a great time with it. I had never heard of Phoef Sutton but wanted to give this book - the first in a new series - a shot. I'm happy I did. It was truly a fun, non-stop joy ride filled with murder and mayhem. The story line was interesting (tracking down stolen gold) and the characters were truly a hoot. The bad guys were bad and the good guys were lovable and a load of fun to get to know.
I'm looking forward to reading more about these characters in the next book.
I was given a copy of Curious Minds through NetGalley and Random House in exchange for an honest review.

Curious Minds is sort of an interesting cross between a slow-burn romantic comedy and National Treasure. Evanovich and Sutton take the reader on a ride into the strange and at times absurd as Riley Moon is dragged into Emerson Knight's passionate pursuit of answers about the wereabouts of his money.
It is a fun and fast-paced read, that at times moves so quickly, you almost have to double-back to esnure you didn't miss anything. It is certainly not for anyone looking for a deep serious read, but may appeal to readers of Evanovich and Sutton's Lizzy and Diesel novels, which shares the quick-witted and often absurd scenarios that the characters often find themselves embroilled in.

Mediocre for Evanovich. Sorry but I just couldn't finish it.

This was entertaining. I was a bit worried that the characters would be overdone, but Emerson's eccentricities (aside from all the exotic animals) actually seemed mostly plausible. The action was good and kept me turning pages. There wasn't as much of a love story but it wasn't totally absent either. Moon is a professional that just started working for a large financial firm and is assigned to meet with one of the most eccentric clients (Emerson Knight) in her first week. She ends up running from dangerous people while searching for the truth about the world's gold supply. It offered a nice tongue in cheek look at conspiracy theorists as well. I will definitely check out the next in this series.

Enjoyable, but farfetched in so much as plot. I might try the next because the characters are cute. Maybe the next plot line will be more believable.
