They’d been officially dating for two months now, and they’d known each other for three. It wasn’t sudden, this relationship, so it baffled her why it still felt fragile-why she was still relieved every time he wanted to spend time with her. Tony grabbed her hand as they walked and she looked down at their entwined fingers, glad that this at least was surviving, despite her half-present brain. She’d had this assignment for weeks-how could she have left it until now? This wasn’t like her. Alice clicked her pen as they hurried into the library. you know.”Ĭoncern flashed across Tony’s face, and his grip on her arm tightened for a second before he let go. She tried to smile, but her mouth ended up in a lopsided grimace. “Everyone forgets an assignment sometimes.” He grabbed her arm before she could jump out of the car. She rapped her fingers against the car door, gripping a notebook and a pen tightly in her other hand. It was almost empty the library was closing in twenty-five minutes. She slouched down in the passenger seat as they pulled into the library parking lot. “He’s been saying that ever since I got a license.” Tony knew this as well as she did if he was teasing, she wasn’t in the mood. “Didn’t your dad say something about getting you a car soon?”Īlice gave a single, grating laugh. **I received a copy of the ebook for review.

I highly recommend it for lovers of YA fantasy, romance, and mystery. This was one of my favorite reads of 2016 so far. I like how the new mystery (again, no spoilers) saves NOBODY'S LADY from 'book 2 syndrome'-like all the best sequels, it deepens and broadens the story in an unexpected way. )įinally, I really appreciated how NcNulty brought in a whole new thread of mystery in Book 2.

The concepts of love and identity are fascinating to watch play out-and a little frustrating, but in a good way.Īnd the love interest-well, that's the main reason I'm now dying for Book 3. I loved the exploration of the consequences of the happenings in Book 1 (no spoilers-but the description of Book 2 is itself a bit of a spoiler for Book 1, so just, you know, go read it already). I think you need to go through that journey with Noll to really get Book 2. You *could* read NOBODY'S LADY without reading NOBODY'S GODDESS, bit I don't recommend it. And now I can't WAIT for book 3 (NOBODY'S PAWN, January 2017). I DEVOURED NOBODY'S LADY and its prequel NOBODY'S GODDESS in, like, two days.
