If you give in to the silliness, then this book is thoroughly enjoyable. At first, I was a little put off by the absurdity, but I soon let go and just had fun reading. Was it over the top? Yes, sometimes. Was it believable? No, rarely. Do I feel like it was a waste of time? Absolutely not! Don't take this book, or yourself, too seriously and it will take you on an entertaining ride.

Yikes.
How about I start off with the good stuff? This is evidently the third in a series and I didn't realize it until I came here to do this review. So these books are VERY stand alone. You aren't missing anything by not having read the first two. Also, if you're a fan of Sands' Argeneau series, the pacing and many of the story elements are exactly like those in that series.
But. This story is completely ridiculous. I mean, the Argeneau series IS pretty ridiculous itself, but maybe since we're talking about vampires, it's a little easier to accept. I mean, Jane's last name is SPYRUS. REALLY??? Then there's the fact that they're tracking a used tampon with a tracker in it. And THAT'S one of the more believable inventions in this book. Yeah.

I thought this was Adult since it is written by Lynsay Sands. Alas, it is not. Or, if it is, I never got that far.
From the minute I started reading it felt like the story was dragging.
Loaded with a lot of unnecessary information and it the story drag to a snails crawl.
Also the way it is written. For instance,
"They’d been calling all the numbers in Abel’s sister’s book for nearly an hour now and..."
Shouldn't this just say Edie's book? Another reason the story drags.
By page 61 the story is dragging horribly and disappointment has firmly settled in to my brain.
But I persevered to page 153 (39.53%) when I put it in my finish later shelf.
The thought of trying to finish it just sent me searching for something else I had to read NOW. Meaning, I made excuses to not finish it.
So now at 40 something percent it has been put to rest in my DNF Graveyard. There it will stay.
I have no interest in trying to read this one.
I don't read YA.
If you like ya, go for it & give it a try.

This was such fun and I think could have made a great series, but works well as a standalone novel. Think feminist, comedic James Bond and you're on the right track! It has a great pace with fun characters. There's a sassy and believable heroine, a very scary and talented grandmother and a bevy of sexy men drooling over the unsuspecting heroine, whose painfully shy and not aware of her natural charms! The missile launching vibrator and tracking tampons had me spitting up my coke and belly laughing on the train, much to the amusement of my fellow passengers. Well worth a read.

Nothing particular was terrible or bad about this book I just didn't enjoy it.

This story was hilarious, sexy, suspenseful, entertaining and absolutely what I needed while the real world out there is in such chaos. This riveting read hits the right notes with the spy gadgetry inventor involved in the latest BLISS case. While the spy company title takes me back to the author’s earlier medieval romp of the same name, the enjoyment is just the same. Bliss, the medieval romance, was one of my top favorite reads of all time. I really enjoy Lynsay Sands novels.
