Betrayal of the Blood Lily ~ Lauren Willig

***reviewed by Mercedes
Betrayal of the Blood Lily by Lauren Willig

This latest edition of the Pink Carnation series was not quite a disappointment but didn't have the thrill that some of the earlier editions did. The love interest was discerned immediately, how to get to that love interest was predictable, and there wasn't enough suspense or action. I enjoy reading books set in British India - I find them intriguing and exotic so the local for Blood Lily was fun but it seemed to do little to further the basic Pink Carnation plotline. Willig is been reliably frequent in her publications so I'll look forward to the next book in hopes that she'll return to her earlier thrilling stories.
