    While the titles of the first two "Miss Cousin" books are quite provocative, the main plots have a suspenseful mystery/crime-solving feel. The author states that there's no single protagonist in the first book; the plot unfolds through the combined efforts of various parties. The second book's main storyline revolves around the female protagonist unraveling the tragedy of her family's massacre. "The Book of Stealing Life" isn't the typical domestic power struggle or female rivalry purported to be; the protagonist confronts supernatural beings. She herself possesses no superpowers; her only chance of survival is through a loyal servant, who uses this opportunity to his advantage. Those who enjoy watching ordinary people (not overpowered or overpowered) solve problems might find this book worth reading.
