To live, sometimes ya gotta die! Daisy Grant is in a heap of
trouble. She stumbles into a mob turf war and now somebody wants her dead.
Daisy may be small-town to the bone, not at all the kind of woman to deal with
the Southern Mafia, but she knows how to get creative fast!
Enters the way-too-attractive Mark Jensen... He didn't mean to rescue anybody, and he certainly didn't mean to go on the run because of a stubborn, sassy woman. Soon they are up to their ears in so many wacky characters they don't know who's on their side. Daisy and Mark decide that to live, sometimes ya gotta die. And sometimes to die right takes . . . practice.

There
aren’t many times that I’m at a loss for words, but this is definitely going to
be one of those times. How do you write
a review about a book that changed every idea that you have ever had about how
a mystery book performs? Each time you
think you’ve “figured it out”, “knew what would happen next” and “saw where
this was going” the book twists and turns you in a different direction.
So
you’ve just witnessed a murder and you’ve found out that not only was the
victim a member of a notorious mob family, but you’ve also found out that the
assassins were members of another notorious mob family. What to do, what to do? Enter witness protection of course! Except their track record for keeping people
safe from these mob families isn’t reassuring.
The last option, then, is to “kill” yourself. When that doesn’t work to perfection, you run
as far away as you can with a newly created identity. Will this help Daisy stay ahead of the mob
families and the authorities looking for her?
Where can she run and feel like she can ever be safe? Is there anyone
that she can trust? It be easier to
answer these questions if you would BUY THE BOOK!!!
As
I mentioned earlier, as I read through this book, I was always priming myself
for “what was going to happen next” or “I know where this is heading”. When the going got rough for the main
character, I knew the path the author would take her down, already knew what
she was going to encounter and knew the outcome. Boy was I wrong. This author does not allow you to take a
confident stroll through her book, she wants you right beside her, holding her
hand for comfort the whole way. Her
characters, while strong and independent in their own ways, form a bond as they
learn that they have to rely on one another to make it to the end of the
book. The writing is unique and is sure
to please even the strongest critics out there with humor thrown in along the
way to keep everyone interested.
Is
this a "guy's book"? This book
takes you from the beginning and never lets you go as it twists and turns down
a very intriguing story. Murder, mayhem,
mobs and malarkey (it’s the only other “m” word I could think of) will keep you
turning page after page in this book.
