Rose is called into action when Neely Kate’s cousin goes missing and the police refuse to take it seriously. But while the authorities—Rose’s ex-boyfriend, included—are certain the missing woman has run away, mounting evidence points to foul play. Rose agrees to help her friend, even if it means partaking in Neely Kate’s shenanigans, including an impromptu trip to a strip club.
And because trouble never comes without a guest, Skeeter Malcolm, Fenton County’s newly crowned underground king, resurfaces, saying he needs Rose’s visionary gift to track down his enemies. He makes her the only offer she can’t refuse: The guaranteed safety of her assistant DA boyfriend, Mason Deveraux, who is being threatened by forces unknown. The Fenton County law enforcement is still abuzz about the infamous Lady in Black, who took part in the underground auction that earned Skeeter his crown. Can Rose risk a reprisal of her role?
As the stakes continue to rise and the search for Neely Kate’s cousin becomes increasingly complicated, Rose must struggle to keep both her secret identity and her sanity.
My Thoughts :
Book #6 in the Rose Gardner series has been waiting on my Audible app for a couple of weeks now. I am trying to restrain myself from just listening to them all in one gulp and instead make some progress on other audio series I have been listening to. However each story just makes this series more and more addictive to listen to.
This time around there is a lot of Neely Kate which is great. There are, as the title suggests, a lot of shenanigans which are fun and thrilling at the same. Not a lot of work went on so there wasn't much Violett (which was refreshing) and Bruce Wayne (which was kind of sad). Of course there was enough Mason and Joe to go around but it wasn't all fighting and drama this time around. Skeeter Malcolm played an even bigger part in this sixth installment and it is obvious that we haven't seen the end of him yet. Rose's Shenanigans have gotten her into more problems that she had before this book started.
There is something addictive about this series and I am not sure if it is just the Audible version that makes it so good. The narrator has obviously enjoys the story as much as the readers do and she does a wonderful job of bringing the books to life. Of course the author is the one to praise. Putting together such a bunch of interesting and crazy characters and wrapping them all up in weird mysteries. The paranormal aspect of Rose's visions makes this series memorable and the relationship drama is definitely a big selling point too.
If you haven't tried this series yet then you are missing out on something that manages to be serious but also very funny in a witty sort of way. I only have one more installment to read (and a novella) to put me up to date and I hope there will be many more books to come because these characters definitely have a lot more stories to tell.
