FEMME FATALE: The Agency by C.A. Bell
4 star review
Read and reviewed on behalf of 2 girls who love books blog.
As soon as I read the synopsis of this book I was intrigued and I couldn’t wait to delve into the world of the Fearless Elegant Mistress’ to Members of the Elite (FEMME) and on the whole I really enjoyed the story. It was a fairly short story at 174 pages but it certainly had everything in it that you needed. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be one of those ‘marmite’ stories where you either loved it or hated it with no in-between, for me I liked it and I’m definitely looking forward to the next book. There was a good twist at the end that I kind of suspected but was still not fully expecting. I did find myself confused at parts with the name switching but I did get used to it in the end. The only thing I did struggle with was Monica/Olivia’s character, she was lacking in some way for me that I can’t pinpoint but hopefully we may see more of her character emerge in the next book.
Overall I thought that FEMME FATALE was a good story, I thought the plot was good but with characters that lacked slightly. I am however looking forward to reading about Edward a bit more!

A copy was given for an honest opinion
This book may have been relatively short, but it packed one heck of a punch!! It had all the makings of a great story, such as intrigue, deception, suspense, drama, and it was incredibly sexy.
I really liked Monica and the idea of transforming her into a self-assured and confidant woman. I'm all for girl power and The Agency seemed to have a knack for enhancing the beauty that was already there and bolstering the self-esteem of its agents.
The story had a real Charlie's Angels kind of vibe which I loved! It was unique and refreshing. The writing was pretty fluid and kept my interest going from beginning to end.
The only problem I had was with a certain word and its usage. It could be because I was born and raised in Canada, not England. I'm not sure. It was the word wiggle or wiggled, as in she wiggled away from him in order to catch his eye. It threw me off a bit and made me picture something quite different than what the author intended. I thought a better word would have been sashayed or something similar.
Rest assured, this was a fantastic read and I can't wait to see what the author has planned for book 2, His Agency. Maybe I'll even get to see Edward's POV *wink*.
