Hither, Page

2.4/5 stars

I was bored while reading this book. I felt like it was more talk and less show. I did end up with a favorite character though and that was the only reason I continued this book. The Cora and Wendy ended up being my favorites mainly because they tended to put the main characters on the spot.

There were few things that I liked about this book that had to do with the plot twists that were made in the last few chapters.

I liked that Cora ended up being another spy. As well as a better marksman than Page. I ended up liking the last chapters because they focused more on her as well as Wendy. We get to know that the secretary was being blackmailed due to being gay. It was also confirmed what I suspected which was that the Colonel had killed the og victim because of being nosy. Although I wish they had emphasized more on what the black market deals entailed.

As to what I didn't like I felt like we spent most of the time in conversations that didn't matter and were overly done. In the first chapter they kept emphasizing that the town looked as if it had come off straight of a postcard. Then there was the absurd amount of surgeries that Sommers performed. I felt as if it was mentioned every couple of chapters that he had just finished a surgery. I felt like they explained this towards the end with there being a wave of tonsillitis going through town. Moving onto Page I just did not like him at all. He has to be one of the worst spies. He admitted to being one with the slightest amount of pressure. He took so long before even solving the mystery and it was still sort of open ended.

Overall I don't believe I will read the second book in this series.
