My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Unbound and NetGalley*
Rumer Cross is cursed - everyone around her dies. Which is why
Rumer isolates herself, working for a detective agency.
Rumer lives in the shadow of her dead mother, a ruthless criminal
with a long list of victims.
When a dangerous criminal that knew Rumer's mother demands that
Rumer tell him where the Crook Spear is, she finds herself sucked
into a dangerous world.
Her very life under threat, Rumer must do whatever she can to survive.
The premise for Vicious Rumer really intrigued me.
I liked Rumer and I felt sorry for her - she had gone through a lot. I
could totally understand why she thought she was cursed.
Bolt was an interesting character and I would have liked there to
have been more of him in the book.
The plot was interesting but nothing that happened really surprised me.
I liked the writing style - it felt very atmospheric - but I wasn't
gripped.
Overall this was an enjoyable read.
