A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James

This one is probably too cynical for its own good, as I find myself eventually somewhat rooting against the main characters.

The feels are strong in this one.

The whole thing starts out promising, but it seems like the author just gives up eventually.

I like this one, but I think the sameness of the author’s formula is starting to get to me in a not-so-good way.

The spy hero is a colossal idiot. So no, this one doesn’t work.

Another knockout winner to add to the author’s impressive track record. This one is just too easy to love.

Good: characters that are not the usual stereotypes. Not so good: too much silly bickering and bratty antics.

Reading this one, the phrase “going through the motion” comes to mind.

This one can be pretty bad, but it has its share of campy appeal.

I’ve read better books by this author, but still, this one can still pack a wallop of fun.
