I received an ARC of this book from the authors in exchange
for an honest review. I was very pleasantly surprised by The Syndicate. The
concept of time travel interested me from the beginning but this book has so
much more than just that. It also has mystery, murder and the start of a
romance.
The twist of having the murders thrown in that weren't part
of that past history really added to the suspense. There were a few different
plots entwined in this story, the main theme of travelling through time to find
a lost manuscript, the murder mystery to solve and most enticing Stassi's past
and the mystery of who her parents were. Even more intriguing is, what is the
connection between Stassi and Charles' pasts?
I laughed at all the
witty banter between Stassi and Gaige, their relationship is just like a
typical brother and sister. I liked the relationship between Stassi and her
boss Cyrus. It was nice to see the parent less Stassi getting away with things
that others wouldn't with Cyrus acting more like a surrogate father than a boss
at times. I don't think that the relationship with her friend and roommate
Molly has been fully developed yet.
Even though Charles seems very
proper and stuffy I think that is because of the time period that he is coming
from. My favorite Stassi and Charles scene was the make out session in the
Rolls, it is probably even more comedic in 1925 than it would be now. I didn't
see the end coming until it actually hit, but I was very happy with it. I have
no doubt that we will see things heat up even more between Stassi and Charles
in the future (no pun intended). I imagine Charles will have no problem fitting
in any time period. I can't wait to see what happens next as the mystery
and suspense continue!
The only negative is the copy errors in the
book, although they are not as bad as in other Sophie Davis books they were
still there. Mostly missing words or letters, they do detract a little for
those of us that read every word. With that said I would still recommend this
book.
