Felony Ever After : A Domino Novel – 13 Authors, 1 Story

My Review of Felony Ever After

Felony Ever After is a novel written by 13 different authors.  Some are seasoned pros, some are brand new, so I thought, “How is THAT going to work?”.  Each author wrote a chapter (or two) and then passed the story on to the next person.  While the concept of a chain story isn’t new, I know I’ve never read a novel like this before.  I don’t know how they made it come together, but they pulled it off seamlessly.

The story is about Verity Michaels, a 20-something receptionist trying to make something of herself in New York City.  She has great friends, an unnervingly pervy boss, and a habit of picking up the slack at work.  One night, after working late, Verity ends up sharing a cab with Hudson Fenn.  After a very unexpected evening, hilarity ensues and their rollercoaster relationship begins.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed FEA.  It’s light-hearted and fun, with a totally unique storyline.  There is also a touch of angst with plenty of steam.  I thought the story flowed well, which honestly was a concern of mine from the beginning.  Verity and Hudson are hilarious and their banter is awesome.  Twitter is featured heavily in the plot, which was another interesting twist.  I looked forward to the end of every chapter to see what the characters tweeted and the hashtags are priceless.

I love how this book turned out and I have found some new-to-me authors that I will definitely be adding to my ‘must read’ list.  Congratulations to the authors on a job well done!
