The Perfect Paranormal Palette Cleanser
So I read this on a whim because one of my consumers in my book club at work suggested I give it a shot. Kindle Unlimited came through because I found it and it was cute in a pallete cleanser of a book kind of way. Thank you Valarie for your awesome suggestion. The writing is so fluid it made me feel like a pro surfer riding a wave. It was so easy to read that I flew through this book in no time. Apart from one character, (who you’re not supposed to like) I liked everyone in this story. There was enough humour without it being a farce; enough tension to carry the plot and a bit of angst thrown in.
After witnessing a robbery of at bank located I side a grocery store, Shelby is grazed in the head with a bullet. After the pain begins to dissipate, she realizes that she now has the ability to hear people’s thoughts. After meeting Kate, the gorgeous new lawyer at her husband’s law firm, she realizes that this huzzy wants her man. Shelby inadvertently tells Kate she knows of her relationship with Uncle Joey not realizing that he is The mob boss, Joey the knife Manetto.
Now not only is the bank robber out to get her but Uncle Joey is hot on her tail as well.
Shelby is bound to receive the end of a knife or bullet until she reveals her new ability to Uncle Joey. Now, he plans to use her in his scheme to ferret out the links in his operation. What we have her is a wonderfully written who dunnit’ with a paranormal twist and loads of comedic moments. If I can’t have a hairy werewolf or a sexy vampire give me a crime busting novel any day of the week. Then, add a paranormal twist, I am sooooo in my element.
I will confess I was not expecting to enjoy this book so much; but I am so glad I did. And since this series has been out for awhile, I will have several good reads to keep me busy for a time. If you are like me and enjoy a little humor, crime solving and paranormal edge in your reads, I would highly recommend that you pick up “Carrots.” I think I will slowly continue this series when I need a pause from my growing TBR pile. 3.5 stars.
