CLOCKWORK GENIE
Reviewed by Gabryyl Pierce
2.5 out of 5 stars
Clockwork Genie is the first published novel by Kevin P.S. Broden.
Cecilia Orchard, broke and always on the verge of being fired by a
nasty boss, has just been informed she's the prime suspect in the murder
of a grandfather she never knew existed. Now she's heir to a vast
fortune, prime murder suspect and new owner of a golden pocket watch
that houses a powerful genie. The entire world can be hers with a wish,
including the hunky cop investigating her for murder, but what does
Cecilia really want?
Broden has created a story that combines Contemporary
Fantasy/Murder Mystery/Paranormal Romance. Overall, Clockwork Genie is a
quick read which unfortunately falls a bit short in the
execution. The premise is interesting, but was overshadowed by a few
flaws that pulled me out of the story, including choppy transitions,
flat characters, and too much information in several scenes that wasn't
necessary to the momentum of the plot.
Thank you for the review.
