I'm still not sold on this series. It's competently written and plotted, but weirdly slow paced. I like Elizabeth and I even can get on board with Gideon's holier-than-thou ways, but something is not working for me.

RATING: 4 STARS
Yay, this series passed the second book test! I loved this one as much as the first. Elizabeth is such an endearing character as she seems realistic yet like so many flawed heroines. Being raised as a con artist, she finds it hard to be completely good. Yet, she has a good heart and does want to help people who are suffering. For me a good series not only has a good romance story (which this does) but also that there is a solid friendship. In this series, Elizabeth has more than a friend but there are some fun secondary characters (friends and foes). If you have not tried this series, I highly recommend the first novel. As each book can be read as standalone for the story, the background info from the first book really make the characters realistic.

this was so good! i love elizabeth and gideon so much more after this book. even though their relationship progressed pretty fast in city of lies, i appreciate how thompson showed them figuring out how that relationship would actually work.
