I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect mix of lighthearted yet suspenseful.

At times, it reminded me of Law & Order: Organized Crime, but that isn’t a bad thing.

I was in a reading slump of sorts and this pulled me out! I find that in cozy mysteries (does this count as one?), there tends to be more emphasis on character & relationship development than on the mysteries themselves, but here the balance was pretty much perfect. The story takes many outrageous turns, yet the atmosphere & pacing were so consistent that I never had trouble immersing myself.

I found all the characters (yes, even douchebag Steven) interesting except for Nick. Julian was nice and ~mysterious~ enough, Nick's presence was redundant. :P Vero kept making so many dumb decisions that I almost wanted to strangle her, though she was endearing at the same time.

Love love love! Intriguing, funny, page turning, full of heart and hijinks and a delightful juxtaposition of grounded and heightened. I’m going to stop reviewing and start reading the sequel now.
