This book sounded interesting. For me it was rather slow moving. I just couldn’t get too excited about the story like other readers. It just didn’t keep my attention

This book turned out to be a real page turner for me which was a nice surprise because in the beginning I felt it was a slow read.

I liked the story and it was interesting following the main characters pov but also a few other characters pov (although theirs aren't so long). This is a murder mystery that also includes love and friendship/sisterhood.

Now I am looking forward to read the other books in this series (3 more) since I wanna get to know the other girls in the sisterhood Catherine had because they seems like interesting characters plus I wanna know the outcome.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for allowing me to read this one in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 3,5

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I've always enjoyed murder mystery novels, which is what drew me to 2045 Clementine Lane: Catherine . I've read a lot of murder mysteries over the years, but none of them compared to this one. Like the majority of readers who have read the book, you are left wondering who murdered Elizabeth York and why she was murdered. Given Elizabeth's history, I also wondered if it was murder or an accidental overdose. Just when you think you've figured out what happened to her, more clues arise, forcing you to reconsider your entire theory.

I liked how this story was written from Catherine's and Lieutenant Flint's perspectives; it allows the reader to get to know both characters. Catherine's point of view was intense at times, particularly when discussing her experiences prior to moving in with Toni and the other girls. I felt myself being transformed into Catherine's mind as I read from her point of view, feeling everything that she was. You could sense Lieutenant Flint and Catherine's attraction to each other from the moment they met, even if they tried to deny it. Catherine, I know, tried because of her profession. Even I couldn't see it working. Yet, I was hoping that they would find a way to make it work.

I did think the ending was a little too long, as if it dragged on a little too long. I enjoyed most of the book because it was unlike any other book I had read. Each of the characters was distinctive in their own way. Clementine Lane: Catherine will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. I'm excited to see where the next book takes us.

I got into this with low expectations, largely looking for a change. It turned out to be a refreshing read.

Catherine Beauchamp, Antoinette Rupetta, Lyla Kaspar & Juliette Dorn are escorts who stay at 2045 Clementine Lane. They are informed by Detective Aiden Flint, and his colleagues Mani and Sanchez that their friend, partner, and housemate Elizabeth York has been found dead, shot. The cops make very slow progress in determining a motive for the murder and coming up with suspects. Aiden and Catherine find themselves drawn to each other, though technically, Catherine should be treated as a suspect herself.

This is a good book to relax with. The story is told mostly from the perspectives of Catherine and Aiden, though the other girls are solid supporting characters. I found the characters well developed and especially liked Catherine’s character. The relationship between Aiden and Catherine takes its time to develop and the complexities involved are outlined well. I would have liked the story to progress more than it did in this first book, even if this is intended as a series.

My rating: 3.75 / 5.

This book has it all! What a roller coaster- I gasped, I cried and I smiled like a giddy schoolgirl. I also found myself staying up way later than I should have for just one more chapter, and then another, then another…

Catherine’s 2045 Clementine Lane story was supremely well written and managed to effortlessly combine suspense and romance together. There were lots of plot twists and turns as a group of high-end escorts work with local law enforcement to solve the mystery of their late friend’s murder. Every character has dark pasts and either had a motive to murder or didn’t have an alibi the night of their friend’s murder, so the story leaves you wondering who the killer is.

Sloane Fletcher did an incredible job writing about sensitive topics such as human trafficking, escorting and addiction. These topics (and more) were written about methodically and respectfully, without letting the romance and spice of the FMC and MMC’s budding relationship detract from the seriousness of the topics and the ugliness of the murder. I cannot wait for the next two installments to be released early in 2024 and will definitely not only re-read Catherine’s book, but also the books for all the other girls.

2045 Clementine Lane is highly enthralling! It has a fast-paced story with a forbidden romance.

2045 Clementine Lane follows the aftermath of Elizabeth York's murder. A high-end escort. It focuses on four escorts, Catherine, Lyla, Juliette, and Antoinette, Elizabeth's colleagues/friends/roommates.

This book mainly follows Catherine's and Aiden's POVs. Their story is raw and beautiful. They are two scarred souls who find comfort in each other, and I feel so touched reading about them. Catherine is a survivor, a fighter, and fiercely loyal to her friends at 2045 Clementine Lane. Aiden is an LAPD lieutenant who is kind and a teddy bear at heart.

I loved the plot twists! I thought this would be only about Elizabeth, but as I kept reading, there were so many revelations.

This was a wonderfully done mystery novel, I was hooked from the first scene and it kept me guessing until the end. I enjoyed the historical feel to it and that the romance didn't take away the horrific feel of the murder. I was engaged with the characters and thought they worked with the story. It left me excited to read where this series will go and from Sloane Fletcher.

This book wasn’t for me. I get tired of reading books that have the story overshadowed with the F-bomb. It’s overly used and detracts from the plot. I really wish authors would trust their writing strengths instead of using curse words like a crutch.

What a fantastic debut!! I just loved their story. Aiden and Catherine have my whole heart.
But that cliffhanger was brutal and gave me severe palpitations!! Tho, I’m appeased enough to know there’s a guaranteed HEA for all!

I liked this book but I just couldn't get into the story. I didn't like the writing style but overall the story was good.

Thank you Sloane for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!
