Paige Bookdragon's Reviews > Cloak and Dagger

It's finally time to give this a beauty a review. (Actually,this review is overdue).

First of all, just to make things clear for those trolls out there, I didn't read this book just because Nenia Campbell is a friend. No one could make me do something I don't want to do. I read this book purely because it's fucking awesome.



I wouldn't give any spoilers because I'm not feeling bitchy today. My review would be about why you should read this book.

What I really liked about Cloak and Dagger are:

The characters.

One example of this is Michael Boutilier. When Nenia Campbell said that the character is "young assassin working for a mysterious organization of mercenaries" he fucking acts like a young assassin. He's badass. He's an asshole without remorse. He acts like Jason Statham and he's the epitome of a heartless killer and don't you just love it when the hero sticks to his character?

The pacing

Perfect. It's not dragging. It's fast paced but not rushed. You can savor the parts piece by piece because as I've said, it's well adjusted. Just think of it as a steak. In order for you to get the "well done", you have to set the heat/fire in properly.

The romance

One big amen for not giving us an insta-love!



Nothing, and I mean nothing sets me off more than a so-called declaration of love just because you saw the hero with his shirt off



or because the heroine gave you a dazzling smile.


I mean, fuck that. Am I supposed to believe that love is that easy? Love is a fucking Odyssey and Cloak and Dagger didn't disappoint me. The romance is perfect without being cheesy and unbelievable.

The ending

Just a friendly reminder that you probably should buy the whole set before reading the first book.The ending?It's a killer.

Nenia, looking forward to more books of yours.
