Loved, loved, loved! I loved the Charley Davidson series and could not wait for this author's new series to start. She pulled it off again with a great mystery, lots of humor and made me cry! Just like the Charley books, the mystery gets solved by the end but there is definitely more to come. Love all the new characters and the setting and the little references to the Charley story.

Lots of fun, can't wait for the next one. There were a couple of weird tics in the writing, particularly toward the beginning of the book, where something would happen and Sunshine would immediately realize a counter-intuitive truth about whatever just happened. Those things are fine when they're done well, but there's no hint in the text--we just have to accept the about-face.

But those are just nitpicks. It's a fun and exciting read, and tonally, it reads like Charley Davidson meets Wynonna Earp.
