In a Fix was a really fun read. What I liked about it most was Ciel's character. I thought she was completely crazy, in a good bookish way of course. I couldn't help laughing at the things that popped into her head sometimes. especially at possibly the worst times. It was refreshing to be in the head of such a fun, but quirky heroine. I really liked Ciel's and Billy's banter. Didn't like Marks, chauvinist attitude towards Ciel making her own decisions to take risks.

I really appreciated how Linda Grimes created such a quirky character in Ciel. I thought she was cleverly written, really loved her wackadoddle ideas and thoughts. I will certainly be continuing on with Ciel's story.… (lisätietoja)
