Title: Not a Nina Reilly
Review: Perhaps I should have read the synopsis a bit closer, but after waiting several weeks to receive a much-anticipated new Perri O'Shaugnessy book, I was disappointed in the story. Being used to the tightly woven and fast-paced plots of the Nina Reilly tales, this story seemed loose-jointed and did not move forward at the same rate that I was turning pages. The author(s) spent more time describing parking problems in the Valley than character development. And the plot twists just did not seem to hold - there was a definite, and uncomfortable, blurring of the lines between antagonists and protagonists. I finished the book just to see if it would get better, and while there is a surprise ending, it just did not justify the rest of the story. Please, give me another Nina Reilly story and I'll once again be in the front row of Perri O'Shaugnessy fans.
