Reviewed the Book "So far I'm really enjoying this series" Lost to Books "Okay so I don't like Paris but I did really like this book. I think that's more to do with Aimée's writing and the characters that she has created more than the city itself though... This installment to me felt shorter than the others, or maybe it's the fact that I'm now so addicted to the series that I'm reading them too fast."

" ~ Reviewed the Book "There was more emotion in this instalment and I dislike the author for leaving it on such a cliffhanger!
