Oh dear, no one seems to like Juliet I bought it but just for the Italian setting.

The premise was so promising! I was really disappointed. Honestly I feel like the book just went foreeevvvveerrr.... So many plots and secrets that towards the end I've forgotten all of them.

The Masque of the Black Tulip - Lauren Willig (I probably won't continue with this series. Not a big fan of the dialogue!)
Royal Blood - Rhys Bowen
Through a Glass Darkly - Karleen Koen (LOVE this book!)
And Only to Deceive - Tasha Alexander (Very promising, though hopefully the heroine will be less dull as the series progresses)
