Katherine R's Reviews > Then There Were Nun

Decent midnight, insomniac reading but a little hard to believe. I don't mean the demon or the talking owl either, but Trixie's super chipper, heart on her sleeve, feels-for-strangers immediate empathy. I kept waffling in my belief because she's an ex-nun but also went into the convent when her drug and partying habits got to be too much for her folks as a teenager. She's got some experience of the outside world.

In terms of story, it was okay. I felt like I needed to pause on multiple occasions, just to make sure I really was on the first book of the series. She keeps referring back to what sounds like a book-length adventure that sounded like a fun set up and story all it's own. I wanted to read it but it doesn't appear to exist. That said, it was a lot of backstory to get theses characters and I thought the author could have taken more time in showing that backstory rather than just telling since the characters involved seem kind of important.

So yeah, roughly 3 stars.
