Review

Another fun installment into this series.  This book finds Jolie and Ava in Santa Domingo helping Ava’s family deal with blackmail.  I enjoyed learning more about the country and feel like the author did a great job researching the details to include in her book.

Jolie is still a hot mess and Ava has a hard time letting others help her when the chips are down.  But they manage to solve the mystery and learn some new things about themselves in the process.  The mystery is woven throughout the book and just when you think you have something figured out, the author throws a twist and you have to rethink everything again.

I have to say there is one part where Jolie stands up to her family because let’s face it, they are a helicopter family which would drive me crazy!  I’m not sure how that is going to play out in future books but only time will tell.  I also wonder if Jolie is going to give Meiser a second chance after what she learned about him in the last book.  I think they could be good together but both have their own baggage to deal with before they can really move forward in a relationship.

We give this book 4 paws up.
