4 STARSI am still enjoying reading this series. This is the second book of the series. It has a good mixture of action, mystery, humor, danger, good guys and bad guys. It even has a touch of paranormal.In Carrots Shelby got shot in the head during a bank robbery and it has left her being able to read minds. Shelby has worked with police and told Detective Dimples (Harris) that she sometimes sees things before they happen or in the past if she in room. She has helped in a few cases. On the other hand local mob boss Uncle Joey knows and has made her help him.Uncle Joey has sent Shelby 5 million dollars to her online account. Later tells her not to tell anyone about it is a matter of life and death. If he does not come back she can keep the money.CIA agents come to Shelby's house and asks her if she has talked to Joey. They bug her house. Then she gets a phone call from detective in Mexico asking her to pay ransom of 1 million dollars to get her Uncle back.With helping police with a murder case she fingered the murder case. He is out right now and wants to kill her. Shelby is trying to keep alive, not sure who to trust. A few times she is rescued by the bad guys from other bad guys.I got to admit I like some of the bad guys over the CIA agents.I bought this on Amazon and have already bought the next ebook in the series. Just finished listening to the audio version of this book.I like that the title of the book includes "A Shelby Nichols Adventure" which is exactly what this book is. Shelby is like Stephanie Plum and Lula rolled into one person. She bumbles her way through situations and has a handy flashlight stunner. Add the mom card, abductions, mind reading and a few people turning up dead and you have a great adventure.I will be looking for the first book and hope to see many more adventures with Shelby,
What do You think about Fast Money (2000)?
Borrowed from Amazon Lending Library. Fast paced, fun, and free!
