Review:
I love when I find something really amazing. Velvet Templeton is more than your average secretary for a secret organization, she's a former spy. When Jefferson Keller, a spy for the organization was found murdered, the investigation led to a former spy, Frank Lancaster. However, Velvet didn't believe Frank did it and started investigating because things just weren't adding up. She soon found herself being accused of the crime and on the run.
Someone was setting her up and the only way she was going to find out who was behind it was to trace Keller's last few days because something he found got him killed. Velvet is going to need all of those former skills if she is going to survive. This is a fast moving, action packed sexy thriller that had me wondering what was going to happen next.
The story takes place in the 1970s but with additional flashbacks shown throughout. I love this first volume, it was well written and the artwork was great. I will be reading the second volume really soon.
Also, I can't help wondering if fashion expert Stacy London was the inspiration for Velvet, well appearance wise that is. Just a thought.
