What's with all the slut shaming of a fictional character on the reviews for this book? I say good for her. Have all the fictional sex you want. Fictional sex with fictional strangers. Fictional sex with multiple fictional partners. Multiple fictional sexual encounters. Shame all the slut shamers with your having all the sex of the fictional varieties. Sex sex sex.

Cool story line but not sure I needed to know how much the main character likes to get railed lol

***DNFD SO NO STAR RATING***

I believe women can have however many sexual partners that they want, even fictional characters, but literally being fingered under a table (where a dog and no less than 4 other people are sitting) by a guy you just met literally 2 minutes ago is a bit much.....but hey, at least she brought condoms!

The book literally lost me at Beethoven’s fucking toenails.....ew, no thank you.

Fun and atmospheric 'summer' read. Don't expect 'literary' writing, but the plot is engaging and representations of Prague past and present are rich and appealing.

This book is fun and an interesting premise. It does not quite live up to its hype but it is fun.

Honestly, the writing feels like two people wrote it and there is good reason for that...two people wrote it. So, it's a little disjointed at times, but again stupid fun. It was not boring. If you're just looking for a good beach read, this'll do. :)

This book was a bit hard to get through. I kept hoping it would get better and, at times, it seemed to, but overall it did not go into a direction that I had anticipated. Think of this book as less of a magic book, as the magic that it did include was tame and disappointing, but more of a spy novel full of history.

This was an okay read. Not a favorite, and not sure I'll continue reading this series, but it helped pass the time!

I really liked the historical and mystery elements, and I gave this book a star for being music-centric. However, I had a tough time connecting with the characters. Also, some research needed to be done on the definition of tantric sex before it was placed in this book's blurb and then not actually used in the story. I've done some reading about it, and just from that, I know it's equal parts physical and spiritual. Having a character not remember sex afterward because she had a vague sense of connection with something and a lot of mindblowing orgasms is not tantric sex.
