Dime Sheppard delivers a smart and witty caper about a crime novelist who recruits her main characters to investigate her maybe-unfaithful fiancé.Evie Howland has problems.Guns. Bombs. Murderers.And that's just on the page...In real life she's meant to be planning a wedding to adorable billionaire Daniel Bradley, but Evie is seriously snarled in the sixteenth book of her successful crime series. In fact, her protagonists are becoming almost impossible to wrangle: NYPD detective Carolyn Harding is volatile after a messy divorce, and Detective Jay Ryan has that heated look in his blue eyes again. They're both sick of being written. And frankly they're getting a little...physical. Evie is beginning to wonder if she's ever going to finish Book Sixteen and get them back into fiction where they belong.But when a disturbingly familiar homicide surfaces in the city papers, it seems as if other, darker characters might have crossed the fiction-frontier too. In which case, Evie is in a lot of real-life trouble.If she's going to survive it, Evie must face her own worst fears, and learn that real love can be the best way of writing her own story.But can she change the ending?Full of high-octane adventure and dry humour, this novel is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's action-packed Stephanie Plum novels, or Mary Stewart's stylish romantic suspense.… (meer)

This is a fun book but way too long. We understand early on that Evie Howland suffers from writers block and that she is plagued by Carolyn and Jay, detective characters who manifest them selves in her living room. But then other characters start appearing and the line between fact and fiction blurs (disappears entirely, really). The author pushes the concepts to the absolute limits and then goes on to another half book playing it all out. The book could easily have been a third shorter. I got tired of all of the twists and turns and did not finish, even though what I did read was fun.

I received a review copy of this book through NetGalley.com. ( )

Creatively unique! Creatively witty! Creatively charming! Creatively memorable! Creatively unexpected!

The novel begins with writer Evie Howland frustrated by the clichés she’s written to begin Chapter 3 of the 16th book in her crime series. Is that what writer’s block does to an author? Thankfully Evie’s agent Jenna places a reminder telephone call as Evie has forgotten there is a party at the home of her future in-laws to attend with her billionaire fiancé Daniel Bradley.

A page-turning delight from the opening sentence to the end. Dime Sheppard’s author debut is bold and magically different. I simply loved it!

My sincere thanks to Dime Sheppard, and Ruby Books for my complimentary digital copy of this title, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.
