I picked this book up for my bookshelf Bingo challenge. This was a great excuse for me to finally start the Arcane Society series from this author that I've been putting off. I must admit that while I liked this story, I didn't love it.
The plot and surrounding mystery was very well set up, with twists and turns and snakes - oh my! The suspects were presented to keep the reader guessing and their motives very plausible. My disappointment stems from the vagueness in the romance. While I liked Venetia's and Gabriel's characters, I didn't get a real sense of WHY they have fallen for each other. They interact well, but though we are told they are each other's "the one" I don't see evidence of anything other than sexual chemistry in the narrative.
Great mystery, dry romance, good read. I'll continue with the series.
