What they’re saying about it:

I was pulled into the story and in the end I wished to have more. The action in this book was so good and just enough for me to have a small adrenaline rush.

I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars because although it was very well written and the depth of development was good, I personally am not a massive fan of violence in books. However, I would recommend this read and believe that it is a brilliant look into the human psyche and also a fast paced, action packed story.

So when Vivien is joined by a handsome  insurance agent eager to prevent the multi-million dollar claim from  being paid, they use any means necessary to track down the location of  the stolen paintings. But is Vivien willing to become a thief herself to get the paintings back? The answer leads her on a journey of intrigue,  deceit, crime and even love as she travels from Los Angeles to Paris and discovers the true brilliance she is capable of.

What they’re saying about it:

I totally loved it! defiantly not my usual type of read. I was a bit  skeptical at first but intrigued by the storyline. Leti Del Mar tells a  story that captures you and then doesn’t let go, I couldn’t put the  story down! Vivian is an amazing character who is so determined, witty,  hardheaded, but at the same time easily hurt. She blends well into the  world of art and security, and when she meets Walt/Nathan the book  couldn’t get any better!

Review from Amazon: It’s a zombie story without a zombie in sight.  It’s set three hundred  years in the future or maybe it’s right now.  Damned if I know.  What I  do know is this is one hell of a cool ride.  It starts pretty quickly  and never loses momentum.  The two main characters are easy to root for  and the main villain is very easy to hate.  There are no shades of gray  (fifty or otherwise) in this world Cronan has created.  You’re on one  side or the other and the line between the two is very clearly  dilineated.  There’s a very Alan Moore-esque feel to this and it kept me turning the pages.  This deserves your time.

Detective Inspector, Mick Chandra of New Scotland Yard, struggles to

that Josie was abused before she was murdered. Mick is informed by a
Quaker Friend who knew Phoebe that she, too, may have been physically
abused. Mick realizes he is getting close to the fire when his live-in
love, American expatriate and renowned England-based concert pianist,
Jessica Beaumont, is suddenly harrassed. During a concert, someone even
takes a shot at her. Seconded to the Yard’s Pedophile Unit, Mick and his
partner, Sergeant Elizabeth Chang, receive help in breaking the case.
The Unit’s chief informs Mick that a notorious pedophile ring is working
out of north London, headed by someone who calls himself The Erlking.
Day by day, more children are reported missing in north London. How is
this linked to Phoebe’s death? What is the connection between Phoebe and
Josie? As Mick struggles to expose the identity of The Erlking, help
arrives from a most unexpected source.

I’m no hero.  In fact, up until a couple of days ago, I was the villain. Kidnapped  maidens, scared kids, stole magic tchotchkes—until I got into a little  scrape with the union. Now I’m cursed with the worst fate in New Never  City—no matter what I do, I gotta be nice.

So when a head-case princess  named Asia barges into my apartment and asks me to find out who whacked  her stepsister, Cinderella, I have no choice but to help her. And I’m  more than willing to head back to her parents’ castle and do some  investigating if it means I can get into her black leather cat suit.  Except this twisted sister has a family nutty enough to send the Biggest Baddest Wolf running for the hills—and a freaky little curse of her  own. . .

What if his proposal had an expiration date? Hannah’s in a bit of a pickle. In twelve days she flies from Hong Kong to the US with  Sam, where he’s finally going to meet her parents… and ask to marry  her. Since overcoming a rather rocky patch in their relationship  (which was totally his fault), he really is a new man, and they’re  completely in love. The problem is, she feels panicky every time she  contemplates matrimony. Which is perfectly normal, isn’t it? Isn’t it?!  She has no idea but she’s got to find out before he pops the question… because she’s not 100% sure she’s going to say yes. Which will make for a very uncomfortable family holiday. He’s got to ask her before they  go. So Operation Proposal begins.

As time ticks down to their  flight, Hannah realizes that her own secrets are threatening their  future. Before she can be happy with Sam, she’s got a lot to learn about herself in the twelve days to Christmas.
