If Sherry Thomas insists on keeping to the perfectly reasonable pace of one Lady Sherlock novel a year, I guess I’m just going to have to read her other books in my ongoing attempt to read only nonfiction and coping mechanisms but nothing in between.
Look at me, two m/f romances in the same week. What is even happening here?
This book absolutely runs on romance novel, from the series of extraordinary coincidences (although, to be fair, you really can run into literally anyone in Manhattan) to the relationship between love and obsession to the speed at which minds are changed. And also the research was very fun, I had a hard time not rooting for the characters and everyone liked dinosaurs. Well, everyone worth liking anyway. This book is teetering on the edge of my “possessive hero is obnoxious not sexy” but comes down on the right side in the end (Thomas knows her craft) so we are on to the next book.
(First book - enemies to lovers. Second book - here the whole time. This feels like a pattern I have seen in other trilogies.)
