All Eyes On Him by Iliana Xander (2025)
Even with all its many glaring faults, I still had a good time with this book and raced through it to find out what calamity would next befall its foolhardy heroine. It's rapidly plotted and paced and kept my full attention despite its Big Twist revelations that require a very sizable amount of belief suspension.
Natalie plunges herself, like a Nancy Drew who's common sense deprived , into her very own amateur undercover operation. Her roommate's date, a Crypto Currency whiz in all the headlines, left the poor girl unconscious and coma-stricken. And her roomie maybe wasn't this predator's first victim. Natalie, in pursuit of evidence against him, manages to insert herself as a housekeeper in Mr. Crypto's vast sprawling estate, populated with minions and servants who cater to his every need. (Including one who's got the hots for Natalie.). She finds working there a creepy experience.......not only is the staff openly hostile to her, it appears that nobody's exactly whom they seem to be - and that includes the all powerful Crypto Prince himself, who's on the verge of sealing a deal that will make him a multi-Billionaire.
No more can I say of course, without spoiling the over-the-top surprises that hurl Natalie into those constant life threatening situations that we all knew she was headed for sooner or later.
If the last mystery thriller you read was overlong, too complicated and heavily gloomy, I'd recommend this one as a fresh, fast palate cleanser.....if you can keep your temper at Natalie's reckless investigative skills.....
4 stars (****).
