This was an interesting and enjoyable read, however it also felt like it was going to be the start to a series. Lucy's character is intriguing. Blessed with an ability of having an eidetic memory (think Simon Baker's character in The Mentalist) she has no problem in amassing PhDs, she just has one when it comes to keeping her job. And it doesn't bode well that in her first day at her nth one, she suddenly discovers that someones been keeping a different sort of accounting. I liked the story line of Trouble Comes Knocking, it has a different theme that is commonly seen in the New Adult Genre. Lucy is a good character. It did feel that at some point she felt underdeveloped, whether it was because she has things in her past that is a mystery ( and another plot angle in the book) or its going to be explored more in succeeding stories remains to be seen. There is also the prerequisite love triangle but the author is making it hard for the reader to choose which one she should end up with. The writing was good, seamless, good pacing, nice dialogue and enough of a mystery in the plot to keep the reader going. The main mystery gets solve but the underlying one concerning Lucy's past and her love life is left open. Still it was a nice closure but enough of an opening for another book.
