I wanted to share some of the latest book releases with you today. Death in Paris by Emilia Bernhard, Mardi Gras Murder by Ellen Byron, Be Our Ghost by Kate Kingsbury, The Lacemaker's Secret by Kathleen Ernst, and Legacy of Mercy by Lynn Austin are just a few of the new books out thus far in October. A little something for everyone.
A Thief Consumed by Heather Sunseri is the second novel in the International Thief series. It has been a year since we last saw Lola
Parks with Dimitri in the south of France.
Dimitri disappeared, and Lola has not seen him since then. Her mentor, Elisa Garment has been training
her to liberate a rare blue diamond. Reynard
Jules has a special opportunity for her, and it is one that Lola has been wanting
for twelve years. Claude Marquis has
recently obtained the remaining six bottles of a limited edition Bordeaux that
Lola’s father created. Lola blames Claude
for her father’s death and cannot wait to acquire the wine. Reynard insists that she also procure the
Paul Gauguin from Claude (of course). In
disguise at a dinner party, Lola sneaks into the wine cellar and locates the
wine. She is only able to hide it and grab
an envelope from the crate before she must depart. It turns out that the envelope contains
papers that several parties are desperate to obtain. Dimitri left Lola to keep her safe and he has
been keeping an eye on her from a distance.
But when shots ring out at her shop, he quickly jumps into the fray. Dimitri is then approached by Interpol who is
close to identifying Lola. They have an
offer for the pair. Lola’s heart was
broken by Dimitri and she is not about to let him right back into her
life. She will have to figure out what to
do while staying one step ahead of the interested parties. Join Lola and Dimitri as they fight for their
lives in A Thief Consumed.
A Thief Consumed is a fast-paced
romantic suspense novel. We get to know
more about Lola and her upbringing, and her family. It explains how Lola became a thief and why
she is estranged from her family. I recommend reading the books in the
International Thief series in order. Otherwise, you will be missing some key details. Declan is consulted by Dimitri in this installment
for those of you who enjoyed the In Darkness series. I thought A Thief Consumed was well-written
with plenty of action and plot twists.
There are adult scenes that are for the mature audience. The point-of-view switches between Lola and
Dimitri so you can see the story from each of their perspectives. It can be confusing especially when I put the
book down and come back to it because then I must figure out which character is
talking. The ending will have you chuckling and wondering
what is in store for Dimitri and Lola next time.
The first book in International Thief series is A Thief Revealed. Thank you for joining me today. I will see you tomorrow when I share my thoughts on another book that I have read. May you have a relaxing day. Take care and Happy Reading!
