Perfect Heist by Elsa Joseph
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Perfect Heist" is a romantic thriller that won't have you teetering on the edge of your seat, its suspense simmers slowly, drawing you into a world of intrigue and morally grey characters.
The protagonist, Serena, is far from an anti-hero, her penchant for skirting the rules and her questionable choices may leave readers conflicted. I found myself sympathising more with her father. Yet, there's an undeniable allure to Serena's confidence and resourcefulness.
While the thriller aspects are present, the pacing leans more towards a slow-burn mystery. The romantic thread, interwoven with the heist plot, adds a layer of complexity and emotional investment. This focus on character development and relationship dynamics may not satisfy readers seeking a heart-pounding thrill ride. However, for those who appreciate a thoughtful, character-driven suspense with a hint of romance, "Perfect Heist" offers a refreshing escape.

Inlet Intrigue: The Trouble with Paradise by Jeff Thompson My rating: 2 of 5 stars While "Inlet Intrigue" boasts a captivating storyline and plot that promises a thrilling ride, its execution falters. A challenging reading experience hampers the debut novel. An ornate font might alienate some readers, and the text could benefit from a closer editorial eye. This stylistic misstep unfortunately detracts from the story's potential. "Inlet Intrigue" had potential, and the storyline itself was intriguing. However, it wasn't quite a hit for me. While I didn't dislike it, it also didn't leave me eager to dive into the author's other works. View all my reviews
