Mimi Jean Pamfiloff


“I am the man who can find anything or anyone. For a price. And my price is you.” 

When Mia Turner’s brother goes missing in Mexico, while on an archaeological dig, she believes that life couldn’t get much worse. But when she’s blocked at every turn from finding answers, by both local and U.S. authorities, she must turn to a man she swears is the devil. 

Others might be fooled by his private jet, fine tailored suits, and disarming smile, but Mia knows something dark, sinister, and unnatural lurks behind those penetrating, pale-gray eyes. And the more she learns, the more she realizes she may never be free again.

I’ve been raving about Mimi Jean Pamfiloff and her Accidentally Yours series forever. Fate Book is awesome also. Seriously, if you haven’t picked up her titles by now, I may have to hurt ya... just saying.

King’s is her latest offering and the first installment of The King Trilogy. Pamfiloff has quickly become one of my favorite authors and this novel is a prime example as to why. Her sharp wit, flawless writing style, and well-rounded characters kept me turning the page and coming back for more. What a fantastic opener to an already promising new series.
MY REVIEW- ★★★★★
I've been looking forward to reading King’s and as soon as it came across my news feed, I was already on my way to 1-click. I've come to expect a lot from this author and this novel did not disappoint. Matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much I almost read it in one sitting. The only thing that stopped me was that pesky little activity called sleep. Pfft… dayjobs. Who needs ‘em, right? 

Okay first things first:

Mia, our herione— She was a strong character who, in the light of her brother’s abduction, was forced into uncertain situations beyond her control. The author did a wonderful job keeping me frustrated right along with her. Not knowing where her brother was or how to save him made me antsy.  Furthermore, Mia was more than capable of holding her own against men who tried to use their power as an intimidation tactic to get her to submit. I liked that she wasn't sheepish and didn't shy away from danger. She continued to run head-on into it, in the hopes of getting her little brother back.  She’s a great leading lady and I’m looking forward to watching her arc.

King, our leading man- Is that his first name or last? It’s anyone’s guess. He’s eccentric and a little creepy, but in a smoldering, intriguing sort of way. The mystery of who he is exactly, kept me on the edge of my seat.

Is he evil? Maybe.

Good? Perhaps.

Sexy? Hell yes!

The author gives just enough information to keep the reader guessing, which in my opinion, made the character beyond awesome. As such, I won’t go into detail about him either. You’re just going to have to buy the book to see for yourself.  

To sum up:

In case you haven't figured it out already, I loved this book. It has great pacing, fun characters, mystery, and enough paranormal elements to keep your mind buzzing. I’m was so enamored with this story I bought the second installment immediately after finishing the first. That’s right, book one and two were released simultaneously. You’ll want to one-click both to begin with. Trust me on this. You won’t be sorry. And let’s not forget, I've threatened bodily harm if you don’t check out this author.

You like your knee caps, dontcha?
