Suspicion by Alexandra Monir
* I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
I’ve loved Alexandra Monir’s writing since her first book came out, and it hooked me. Suspicion was a very different tale, despite also having a fantasy twist to it. I have to say that I truly enjoyed Imogen, it’s rare anymore to get a heroine who doesn’t daydream for adventure. Imogen doesn’t. She lost her parents at such a young age and in such a terrible way that all she wants is to be normal.
Granted, the craziness that happens to her is wonderfully amazing, and in the end I think Imogen really appreciates all that she’s been through, but she didn’t go seeking it out. This book was more mystery than a fantasy/romance, and I actually enjoyed that it was so different. I love romance, but sometimes it feels forced and in this book it was more like a side thought than a major plot point.
There was a fantastic twist in this story, that I really didn’t see coming. I agreed that there was something fishy going on, but I would not have pegged the actual conclusion. I enjoyed this book, and I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. It was a fun, decent read, and it was different enough to be truly enjoyable.
