I Love Vic and Simon!

OMG, Morgan Brice sure does like to put Vic and Simon – and a few other characters – through the wringer. Just when I thought things were finally going smoothly and they had everything figured out, she threw something else at them.

There are so many good things about this book it’s hard to know where to start. I loved all of the witty banter between the characters and especially between Vic and Simon. I also enjoyed the glimpses of characters from other books in the worlds created by Morgan Brice and her alter-ego Gail Z. Martin.

As I’ve said many times before, the books in this series really can be read as standalones because Ms. Brice gives you the background you need to know the characters. I didn’t read them in the exact order and never felt lost. I will admit though, it might be more fun to read them in order.

This book gripped me from beginning to end. It was at times terrifying when it looked like the bad guys might win, but it was also light-hearted enough in places too keep it from feeling too dark.

If you’re looking for hot and sexy you won’t really find it in this book, although Vic and Simon do get it on a few times. What you will get is lots of action, adventure, mystery and suspense, and a great cast of characters that I can’t wait to hear more from.
