Kyra Davis is a fictional writer who was born in Santa Clara, California. She published her first book “Sex, Murder and a Double Latte” and signed a three book deal. Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss is the fourth book in the series.
The series follows mystery author Sophie Katz, who tries to solve mysteries in her own life. In Lust Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss, Sophie falls in love with a three bedroom old Victorian home because she can no longer stand the complete lack of parking near her apartment. The only problem she can see with this stunningly beautiful home? The realtor is her slimy ex husband, the seller of the house is a rich, creepy guy who wants her to join San Francisco’s Specter Society, a social group that meets weekly to discuss ghosts and hold séances. Oh, and finally, when she goes on her first walk through of the house, she walks in a room to find a lifeless body holding something that has a very interesting history. Reluctantly, Sophie decides she cannot walk away from this house and will go along with the Specter Society so that she is able to keep the house.
When Sophie doesn't things can get any stranger, a Specter Society member is found with a slashed throat, and Sophie's house is sending her signs for her to leave. Sophie hears footsteps in the middle of the night, the lights will turn on and off without her or anyone she knows of doing it, and to top it off, things that have been placed around her brand new home are found in different spots unexplainably. The worst part of it all is, her on again off again, sometimes live in boyfriend, the super dark and handsome/P.I, Anatoly thinks that it is all in Sophie’s head.
While people Sophie has been in contact with keep turning up dead, Sophie becomes sure of herself that whoever is messing with her house is the same person responsible for the deaths. So Sophie, once again, goes on a hunt for the killer.
Kyra Davis is an exceptional writer, I have read every one of the Sophie Katz novels and they have not disappointed, what I like about Kyra’s writing is that it takes two completely separate genres and pushes them together to create something incredible. There is the murder mystery that is tied in with the standard Chick Lit theme, and at first I was a little sceptical, but when I opened the book I couldn’t put it down!
The overall story line is interesting and keeps you glued to the story, I think the only downfall to this story is the on again off again relationship with Anatoly and Sophie , it can get a little annoying and repetitive if you have read every book. However that’s only my opinion. The best thing about not only this book, but the series in general; you don’t have to read them all, or in order to understand everything. Yes, there will be a few things you’ll miss out on, but it catches you up and I don’t find that it matters that much. Some may disagree.
Kyra Davis is an amazing writer and I cannot wait to read more of her books.
Overall Rating: A
Til’ Next Week.
