"Cute, clever and a light read."

In this continuation of Maggie Kelly's story, she finds herself in a bind when a publisher turns up dead at a writers conference. With the help of Lieutenant Steve Wendell, St. Just and Balder, she sets out to sort through not only her feelings for Wendell, but how to handle her creations come to life. To make matters worse, there are others who aren't out to help Maggie, but to make sure only they get ahead. The best way to do that is to see someone really fall. In the meantime, St. Just and Balder are still trying to adjust to their move from the written page to the real world and how they fit into Maggie's life.

I've really liked Ms. Michaels' books in the past and never blink twice when picking one up. However, I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. The story is cute and clever, but sometimes a bit too cute and clever. If you're looking for a light read, this is a good book for you. Of course, I'll still watch for her books in the future.
