The Root of All Evil has a really dark cover and title, but to be honest it isn't that much of a dark story. Well, it's starts off very dark and then in chapter one we are introduced to Lily. She's a normal woman living in London with a deadbeat artist boyfriend named Daniel. Her boyfriend transforms a lot throughout the story, doing some good and bad.We also get to meet her friends and a man named Andrew aka the rich, cocky dude who's in love with her. I thought his character would play a bigger role in a romantic way but surprisingly the author had other plans for him.After a grave event, Lily's brother Simon returns to her life after ten years. He brings all the mystery and drama into the story and eventually becomes the main focus. His plot takes over the story up until the ending. The author does a good job of reconnecting Simon and Lily's plot, overall giving us a clear and logical ending.I wasn't a big fan of how the story was broken up into three Parts but I guess it was done to smoothly transition from one main character to another. This is another book I've read that dives into many genres. Some authors butcher the attempt but this author did a really good job stepping in and out of multiple genres. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars.
