actual rating: 4.5 stars
Devney Perry is such a brilliant story teller! Gypsy King is a fantastic series starter full of mystery, suspense, and sizzle!
I cannot say enough good things about Devney Perry as a writer. Her writing is captivating and her stories are evocative. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book as it seemed a bit different than others I’ve read by her, but it did not disappoint!
Gypsy King — book 1 in the Tin Gypsy series told in dual POVs — is primarily an enemies to lovers, small town, contemporary romance. There are MC elements and the plot involves a murder mystery, but I — personally — would not categorize it as either. The banter is on point, the mystery is intriguing, the suspense is intense, the chemistry is undeniable, the romance is hot…this book has a lot to offer and is absolutely unputdownable! The pace is slow and steady, but I had to keep reading.
By the end, I adored the characters, but they took a minute to grow on me. I’m not even sure I can pinpoint what I wasn’t fond of at first with Bryce because her character is everything I usually love in a female lead — feisty, determined, not afraid to stand her ground, but has vulnerabilities — but I just didn’t click with her right away. Dash is gruff and sexy! I was missing a bit more grit with him, but I still really liked him. AND THEY ARE SO GREAT TOGETHER!
Some things are left hanging, but I hope that means the overarching storyline will continue into book 2…which I need…now!
Overall, Gypsy King is another amazing book from Devney Perry! Fans of swoony, mysterious contemporary romances definitely want to pick this one up!
