Review: Something Went Wrong, I was Supposed To Hate This Book
Rating: 5 out of 5

I primarily read paranormal novels, it is what I like, but every now and then you have to take a break from unreality to keep you sane.  I choose this novel since from reading the teaser it showed promise to be a literary "palate cleanser" and not to actually be the addicting page turner it became for me.Tales of MI7: The Kramski Casestarted out much as I expected with a killing and a story that grabbed your attention.  I was expecting the mysterious MI6 type James Bond scenario but it quickly became a LOT more than that.  Let us start with there is no "James Bond" character leaving ladies in a faint, there are three gentlemen that are quite good at their jobs from the three countries that are involved (UK, USA, Russia) and this team starts off after being assembled in a fashion that had me scratching my head quickly.The plot became so multi-layered that it did require my attention (no scanning here) in a story of mystery, politics, tragedy, revenge, a bit of romance, grief and an excellent ending. This novel surprised me in several places which added to my enjoyment and as a reviewer I can tell you that describing a car chase in words that does NOT have you scanning ahead is a feat only excellent writers pull off.There are too many characters to really go into depth about but by the end of the book you will love Marcie , trust me..The title organization MI7 is a super secret UK spy organization and the very organizational structure was entertaining I found, the character of The Red Maiden was given a perfect role, not as aloof as the infamous "M" and yet not "one of the boys".There are too many plots and surprises to go into, I suggest readers take a minute and read the teaser from the product page and realize that that may be one of the more boring parts of the book (and it is far from boring).Bottom Line:  5 Stars for entertainment and originality, these days I seldom lose sleep over a book unless it is truly exceptional and I was up far past my usual bedtime to finish this story.  It appears there are at least 2 other books in this series which I will purchase to read when I again tire of my paranormal readings .
