Escaping From Houdini

I was so excited for this book because I love this series so much and I am complete trash for the romance. While I was waiting to read this book I read a few reviews that I knew weren't going to spoil me and while most of them were praising it I did come across some that wasn't happy about some things that happened in the book which in turn made me a little apprehensive to read it because I knew what my feelings were going to be on it. After reading it I understand why those people were upset.

Let me just say that I absolutely loved this book. Kerri does an amazing job with giving you just enough details and descriptions that it doesn't feel like to much and it sucks you into the story. When you have a book about solving a crime obviously everyone is a suspect at first but in this book I was able to narrow it down enough to have a solid guess at who the killer was which I loved. Was the killer on my list at some point of course but I never was like oh yeah it could definitely be them.

Here's where it starts getting spoilery. There is somewhat of a love triangle in this book. Y'all know I have no issues with love triangles because I pretty much love all things romance however, Maniscalco has been building on this romance since book 1 and now in book 3 she decides to add in another love interest? NO, JUST NO!! Audrey Rose and Thomas are like my OTP and to all of a sudden throw in someone else lets just say I wasn't happy.

There were times when I was so mad at Audrey Rose for the decisions she was making and my heart broke for Thomas so many times. There was one scene when I read it I said aww no poor Thomas out loud, again my husband probably thinks I am crazy lol. I wanted to smack her for what she put him through.

Luckily at the end she comes to her senses. While I was happy with how things ended I think Thomas deserved an explanation about everything that happened between her and the other guy. Her cousin told her that she needed to tell Thomas exactly how she felt but in the end it was Thomas laying his heart out. I think she needs to woman up and tell him exactly how she feels about him.

Ok so this review ended up being all about the romance side of the story sorry guys but I had some strong feelings about it. All of that being said no matter how much I hated these particular aspects of the story it still made for an amazing story and I cant help but to still give it all the stars.
