Kiss Me - LP Lovell

​I received an ARC of this book from the author via Give Me Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you LP Lovell and Give Me Books!

What a dark and twisted sequel to follow the Kill Me. This book did not disappoint. It was compelling, consistent with the first instalment, and just completely captivating. Those were a lot of Cs eh capo? *chuckles at own joke* 

So here are where Lovell hit the spots for me.

Una. Her character is just so well built up and broken down by Lovell. She is able to make of a fictional character, a living being who lives and breathes; who acts and reacts in very human ways. If possible, Ina is even more conniving and deadly than in the previous novel, and I have to say, I wouldn't want to cross her.

Nero. Now you're all thinking, "she's going to just talk about how great Lovell is at characterization". Well, yes. Because she is. I believe that that is the author's strength. Even the lesser important character show depth and layers. She makes George the dog awesome - and I'm not a dog person. *Gasp* I know, I know, I'm a cat person. For the record, I feel like Una would be too if she met a cat. 

Steers back into the review here. 

Here's what was missing for me. Is there going to be a third book? I don't know. So here is what I would have liked to have seen possibly resolved in this installment if there wasn't a third. (this is going to be hard without spoilers) Anna and Una's relationship, the Elite, Una within the Italian mafia. 

Overall though, I am very impressed with Lovell's skillful writing, and enticingly twisted plot line.
