Review: Quirky Heroine with Lots of Attitude
Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed this short read.  It easily held my attention all the way through.  At times, I thought Rose was just a bit too brash, but then she would say or do something that would just melt my hard-heart into a gooey puddle.  She also is funny, in a snarky kind of way.  I like that she thumbs her nose at her ostensible superiors, often showing them up as highfalutin, know-it-alls who actually are somewhat out of touch with reality.Throughout the book, there is sort of skirmish going on between the politically correct group, who admonish Rose to conform more to their standards and Rose, who seems honestly not to give a rat's patootie about kowtowing to their demands.  She is enlisted in helping them solve a tricky problem; determined to resolve the issue in her own unique way.Rose is a quirky, not always particularly likeable heroine, who I am eager to follow along with on her next adventure.  Stacey is an author who knows how to create a story that entertains by creating a world similar to our familiar one but darker and much more dangerous. Then she adds characters that inspire loyalty in spite of their flaws; in my opinion, it is a winning combination.This book was provided to me by the author, through Bewitching Book Tours, in return for my honest review.Reviewed by Laurie-J
