![]() The first 30% of the book didn’t grab me at all, but once I got into the groove of the characters and their personalities, things started getting better.Įvery Breath starts out with Rachel Watts hating on city life and crushing on her neighbor and schoolmate, James Mycroft. Every Breath is certainly one of the better ones I’ve read, but as a whole, I only liked it – nothing more or less. I don’t know if it’s because of the mis-characterization or what, but I’m never in love with the retellings and/or spin-offs. Books with anything to do with Sherlock Holmes, for whatever reason, often end up doing not so well with me. BUT even given all of that, this book didn’t arouse too much of my interest. The characters are interesting, and the mystery + how Mycroft and Watts go about solving the mystery are one of the best things about this book. ![]() But first let me acknowledge some things. ![]() ![]() Fast forward a couple years, and I finally got to it! The not so bright side: it’s not one of my new favorites, and I’m not sure I’ll continue with the series. No one has ever directly recommended it to me, but one of my favorite bloggers way back when declared it one of their all time favorites, and I’ve been looking forward to it ever since. I started reading this book because 1) I wanted to see if I was in a reading mood and was ready for The Reading Quest – I’m feeling very shaky about it – and 2) this book has been second-hand hyped to me for a while now. ![]()
