Mystery & Thrillers, Romance
Description
Dime Sheppard delivers a smart and witty caper about a crime novelist who recruits her main characters to investigate her maybe-unfaithful fiancé.
Evie Howland has problems.
Guns. Bombs. Murderers.
And that's just on the page...
In real life she's meant to be planning a wedding to adorable billionaire Daniel Bradley, but Evie is seriously snarled in the sixteenth book of her successful crime series. In fact, her protagonists are becoming almost impossible to wrangle: NYPD detective Carolyn Harding is volatile after a messy divorce, and Detective Jay Ryan has that heated look in his blue eyes again. They're both sick of being written. And frankly they're getting a little...physical. Evie is beginning to wonder if she's ever going to finish Book Sixteen and get them back into fiction where they belong.
But when a disturbingly familiar homicide surfaces in the city papers, it seems as if other, darker characters might have crossed the fiction-frontier too. In which case, Evie is in a lot of real-life trouble.
If she's going to survive it, Evie must face her own worst fears, and learn that real love can be the best way of writing her own story.
But can she change the ending?
5 STARS
The cover for this book first caught my attention. But I have to admit I was a bit confused at the beginning of this story and I was having a hard time getting into it. I even have to shamefully admit that I also laid it down, a few times until I finally went back to it and got to the point that it pulled me in. Of course Mrs. Andrews finally gave some eye opening revelations that pulled me in even further.
It seemed to me that Evie might just be more in love with her fiance's mother and father than she was with him (Daniel) It was surprising when Carolyn accused her of what I had been thinking.
I had no idea how things could ever work out well. Especially since the darker characters in the story brought a lot of fear and trouble into a lot of dangerous actions. Edge of your seat stuff. In the end I found this story, quirky, a bit odd, very creative, fascinating, and with a romance I was hoping for. I ended up loving it!
" I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book through Netgalley. And these are my honest opinions about it.”
