Vic Davalos is one of the most successful models of her generation. She's also scheduled to be taken out by a hitman by the next new moon. Jack Cavanaugh, also known as the Pimpernel, has less than a week to change the woman's fate. The Cupid who brings Jack this news insists he must save Vic so true love can succeed in bringing two soulmates together who will change the world for the better. While Jack is always happy to stop a murder, his personal motive is to catch the Starbreaker that's been hired to make sure Vic Davalos doesn't survive past the new moon. Statistically speaking, saving Vic and catching the Starbreaker is an impossible feat. If historic lore is to be believed, no one has caught a Starbreaker since the 1700s. They are notorious for never leaving fingerprints on their handiwork and, therefore, leave no trail to follow.A Starbreaker has to be caught in the act, or not at all.The chances of Jack succeeding with an extemporaneous plan and only the assistance of his new Shade, Kali, are so close to zero they aren't even worth calculating.But he has to try.… (plus d'informations)

Pimpernel’s cover did not incite in me a longing to metaphorically open the cover (I read an ebook version). I couldn't resist the description of the author though (see below) so forge on I did. I'm glad. Between the covers is a fast-paced and interesting mystery. I found Pimpernel’s ancestral premise quite creative. The legacy, the identity, art, and secrecy of the Pimpernel persona being passed on from generation to generation. The history involved in this legacy provided some great gems in the story. It is an engaging concept.

Pimpernel is well worth a read. You can figure out components of the mystery before they are laid out but not all. It didn't keep me from enjoying the story. Also, don’t miss out on the adventure of searching for slang and clichéd one-liners that a woman with an IQ of 176 would not likely say. I.e. “boom!” For me that was just a fun side adventure.

I received a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My thanks to the author and publisher.

These people are super smart and reminded me of the TV show Leverage, so I loved the story.
This book has it all with a young woman’s fascination with a UNLV professor, to multimillion-dollar deals. Claire has a mind that won’t shut off, she is OCD and off her meds, she has been recruited to work a scam to help her idol, whom has ended in jail.
Enter the Pimpernel and his group, and her life will never be the same, and will she accept their help? As the story unfolds, I never saw most of it coming, there a chuckles and heart breaking reveals for Claire, how can people do these things?
Once you turn the first page you will be quickly absorbed in this story, and just wait until Claire opens the door of her apartment to find Daniel on the couch, slowly throwing his clothes. Enough said!
I received this book through I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
