Library Thing
She was tied to a chair and could barely move. She gradually lifted her head up and tried to remember what had happened. Her head hurt and her memory was foggy. She could barely see out of one eye and her hands throbbed from the tight rope wrapped around them.
She remembered coming home after a wonderful evening at the opera. She had worn an elegant cream-colored floor-length gown that matched her red diamond necklace and earrings perfectly. She had a huge collection of jewelry that had been passed down through generations of her family but this set was particularly special as it had been given to her by her late husband. It was a piece that had been passed down through his family for almost a thousand years. Even though she was an older woman now and not the striking beauty that she was in her younger years, she loved dressing up as it made her feel beautiful.
Here's a small teaser...

My Review:
I really did enjoy this book.. it had me interested from the first page.
From the very beginning, there's action and mystery. The writing was detailed enough to envision the scenes without being boringly overboard in description. I found myself actually questioning whether this type of group actually exists. It was very believable, and to be honest, I'm not quite sure how I feel about that possiblity... disturbed, intringued or both?
As I said, I did enjoy this book and can't wait to read what comes next. It was a very short read and perfect for someone who either doesn't get a lot of time to read or those "in between books" period.
I give this book 3.5 stars.
