This book wasn't a bad book but it just didn't grab me like I was hoping it would. It is about a rare book dealer, Lily, who comes across the knowledge of a book out there that is extremely rare and powerful. There are people willing to pay good money to get their hands on it. She tells a rare book buyer about it and asks if he's heard about it. He has not but will ask around. Lily doesn't think much more about it and heads home to her country house and her invalid husband. When she gets a call from Lucas and a meeting with someone else gives hope to the book, she is now looking at using if for its power instead of the money.
So it sounded great and sometimes it was. There was some adventure and some steamy sex scenes but all it all, it was too drawn out. I found myself skimming because I just wanted to get through it. I didn't really like any of the characters either. For a bit, Abe the invalid husband at home, was the only one but changed my mind in the end. Also, the ending... it was neatly tied but it was parts silly and parts depressing. So to sum it up... great premise, meh execution.
