The ending had me a little bit shocked since i did not expect the criminal to be that person. if you're a fan of a soft and slow crime novels then i do recommend this series ^^...more

Her novels are always full of plots and sides that you expect your head to turn in circles but there are all related, like a nice little spider web that by the time you reach the final arc everything falls into it's place and you have an "OH" moment. Really and Highly recommend her series and am looking forward to listening to the last book in this series soon. ...more

BUT still i enjoyed every bit of it even if i was lost at some parts and wished the death of certain characters cause they annoyed the hell out of me and eventually did manage to make me cry. If you plan to read this book my advice is to block a good couple of weeks to read it and better not between readathons (big mistake) to be able to appreciate it....more

Highly recommend if you want an easy mystery for those rainy days....more

The plot is interesting enough but the characters were a bit lacking in depth and at part the story felt bland. Not sure if i will continue with the series... but will give it a second chance and then decide ^^...more
"Nooooooooooooooooooooo, how could you? what am i going to do now?" was my immediate response for something. Now that i have sorted through that... boy"Nooooooooooooooooooooo, how could you? what am i going to do now?" was my immediate response for something. Now that i have sorted through that... boy this book was beyond magical, i mean i loved the 1st book but this ONE is beyond LOVE.... i just fell into the book, slowly absorbing the words, the magic and FRANCE..... the story has a fast pace with "Oh my god" and "are you for real" moments that will keep you reading till you hit the last the page. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this series.
Oh... one more note: i just couldn't help but keep comparing tilly and oscar to V.E. Schwab's Cassidy blake ^^. ...more
