A review by balletbookworm
Big Ben by Nana Malone

3.0

Surprise, this was basically part 1 of 3, so it's not a trilogy with separate linked stories, but an actual trilogy that tells the story of one couple over three books. So this ends on a cliffhanger.

It's a bit like What if the Illuminati but British boarding schools and aristocracy plus some spying and a very smart gal who accidentally winds up in the wrong closet at a party.

I did like it, this first part just moved very slowly - the relationship between Ben and Livvy really doesn't kick into gear until about the last 25%. She's got to break up with a very VERY terrible boyfriend and he's got to set up all his backstory with the Elite. I am interested in reading the others though
