This little volume, part of a larger series, plunks the reader smack dab in the middle of the action. I had to keep scrolling back to see if I had missed a chapter. But, that’s the price you pay when you pick up a series, especially a series of novellas, and don’t start at the beginning. It reminds me in a way of the old-time serials. However, it does not end with a cliff-hanger, but a nice segue into the next book in the series.

It didn’t take me long to sort things out, however, and even though I would love to read the earlier books to find out more about the over arcing conflict, the book was enjoyable as a read-alone. The characters are well drawn and likeable (I especially like Sally, the spine cat).

I will definitely be downloading the rest of the series to add to my ever growing TBR pile! Good job, Ms. Burkhart.

  3. Thank you so much for the review. I’m glad you enjoyed the book. Sally the Spine Cat was one of my favorite characters. I thought she really helped to show a softer side of Vivian. Well, spring is in the air! I have to ask – does anyone have a favorite spring flower? I’d love to hear what they are. Leave a comment about the book, excerpt or flower along with your email so you’ll be entered in the giveaway.
