I find this series to be a better version of the Stephanie Plum books and certainly better than the latest few. 

Finlay is hilarious and I love that Vero is getting more depth as is Steven. 

I can't wait to see where things go with the "hot cop" LOL aka Nick. I have to say if my life was that nuts I'd turn it into a book too! 

Overall this book was really fun and I'd say better than the first. I  recommend these books to anyone who enjoys funny mysteries with a dash of romance.

I thought this was plenty of fun despite being less "silly" than the first book. The stakes are astronomical by the end so I can only imagine the craziness that will ensue in the next installment. Finlay and Vero are basically Dumb and Dumber, though. 💀 All they do is bury each other in deeper shit, which fuels the comedy but can get exasperating after a while (I had to laugh at

Finlay entrusting all her money to Vero and then barely caring when it all got lost.

Girl, what the hell?). I still don't care about the romance.

I recommend the audiobook!

While I didn't love this one quite like I did the first one, it was still really fun!! I didn't totally hate the love triangle (Team Nick), and I adore Vero and Finlay's relationship. Will definitely be continuing in this series.
