Penny for Your Secrets

I have really been enjoying this series but this novel has been my least favorite so far. I again enjoyed the blend of mystery and historical fiction, but the plot dragged and was bogged down by redundant character arcs and pointless side plots.

Honestly, the characters seemed so perfect in this one that they came off as unrealistic. They are so mature, thoughtful, caring, attractive, competent, wealthy, and sexually active (at only 24 years old) it's annoying. Sidney is the strong, masculine protector and Verity is the compassionate, feminine supporter. Together they overcome the demons of their pasts to bring justice to a cruel and unfair world. All of their assumptions prove to be correct and they always know the next right step. They're like superheroes, even though, just months previously, their lives were in tatters.

I don't know. I still enjoyed the writing but near the end I was ready for it to be done. Hopefully the next one will be better.
