Dime Sheppard

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.

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.
