This is actually my first Jenn Bennett book. I know, I am a little late to the game. But better late then never, right? Jessica loved Jenn's contemporaries works so when I saw that she was going to be releasing a young adult fantasy I was super excited. Plus, look at the detailing on that cover? It is simply stunning and I love it. Long story short I was real excited for this one and I am really sad that I didn't love it as much as I was hoping to.

I always talk about how my biggest thing in a book is being able to connect to the main character or at least the main character being likable, and in all honesty? I didn't find Theo to be relatable or likable at all. I found her to be extremely entitled with no respect for rules or her elders. Theo doesn't even take into account the reasons why Huck had to leave after that night in her room or how they effected him. She only cared about how she was hurt and betrayed and how he left to run away from her. Not that there was a possibility of it being something more.

I was expecting The Lady Rogue to be dark and mysterious and a little heavier on the fantasy aspect then it was. I found it to be more or less a "fluffy fantasy with a witty romance aspect?" If that would be the correct way to characterize it? If you are looking for a fantasy novel with a fun romance aspect that is going to make you laugh and want to re-read parts, The Lady Rogue is going to be perfect for you.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster, the publisher for approving me this title and NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. I absolutely adored this book! There was literally not a thing about it I did not enjoy. I was swept away from the beginning and loved Theo from the start. Then entered Huck and I found myself in love with the pair. They very much remind me of Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell from the Stalking Jack The Ripper Series. That being said I believe anyone who enjoyed that series will love The Lady Rogue! It was filled with adventure and humor and it was so much fun! It definitely gave me Indiana Jones vibes which I loved. There was a brave heroine, magic, folktales, a cursed artifact and explosions. What more could one ask for when hunting for Vlad The Impalers ring? (And Richard Damn Fox) I was absolutely swept away by this book and hope others will be as well when it is released September 3! Also I hope this isn't a standalone because I would love more Theo and Huck adventures!
