Review: Stars and Smoke

Stars and Smoke Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Winter had made it big with sold-out shows in major cities.  He is now on the radar of The Panacea Group, a covert ops organization that has been around since the Revolutionary War.  Why are they interested in him?  Penelope is the daughter of a criminal billionaire and she wants Winter to give her a private concert for her birthday.  The Panacea Group wants him to say yes … and spy for them.  They have never had a chance to get this close and they want him to join their team.  The mission goes sideways and Winter and his Panacea partner must decide what they will do next.

Stars and Smoke is the first book in the series by the same name.  I can’t put this in one genre, but if I need to … I believe the best place is an adventure book.  There is a little bit of a mystery, but that is not the overarching theme.  There is romantic tension, but this isn’t a romance.  This is the first book in the series, but the major plot points are wrapped up and there is no cliffhanger.  This was a wild ride of a book and I look forward to the sequel.
