Lucky Double
Lucky Double
This book is non-stop continuous action. While this is not fighting action, but rather customer relations' nonsense and Lucky's crazy life, it is still hooking. Putting this book down is a challenge. The writing is so engaging and fast-paced, that I knew quickly this book would turn into a good one.
While the humor is not what I expected, because it was related to Janet Evanovich's work, it was still chuckle-worthy. The humor is not from outrageously ridiculous situations with silly women, but the situations are indeed crazy at times, but Lucky can handle herself in a crisis.
This brings me to the characters. In this first novel we are introduced to many characters, but they are all so distinct that they are easy to remember. Even the side characters have life in them, becoming more than wallflowers. Lucky is strong in her own right and doesn't need to rely on anyone to save her, but she doesn't have a problem with asking for help. She is such an amazing character.
I also want to mention that the female relationships here are refreshing. There are good friendships and the conversations do not only revolve around men. Even the thoughts about sex and prostitutes are positive, even if the main character would rather not get paid for sex and is waiting to have sex with someone she likes.
I also want to mention that the romance is not the main part of the book, with Lucky's job and the mystery taking center stage. The build of the relationship felt natural and flowed very well.
This book is absolutely fabulous and one I plan on recommending to many, many people. I will also continue reading the series, myself, when I have time. This seems like a fun book to listen to, so I will try that out too, just to see. It isn't often I find fun, awesome books which do not revolve around a romance, so I look forward to reading more of this series.
