In book nine, Rachael O’Brien’s plan to dispose of stolen property becomes sidetracked when she is forced to accompany her stepaunt on a UFO-abductee interview near Roswell, New Mexico. A charismatic shaman and five-star accommodations at a new-age soul-search retreat seem like the break she needs. But a hitchhiker telling of alien sightings and rumors of shriveled bodies fuels wild theories, which run rampant. Tribal elders believe it’s a sign that their ancient ancestors are angry, while others are convinced aliens are to blame.


With trouble mounting, Rachael relies on a handsome lawman from her past for help. Sparks fly between them, but beneath the boundless blue skies and romantic starry nights, a mysterious evil lurks, threatening to overshadow the reunion.


Paisley Ray’s SUNCHOKE pins Rachael O’Brien between myth and conspiracy as she races to make sense of the unexplained and attempts to align her orbit with destiny.

The Rachael O'Brien Chronicles are not your typical fiction. A young woman's plan for an art history degree turns into an outrageous series of misadventures in this laugh-out-loud romp about a girl who enrolls in a southern college during the height of the crazy era that was the 1980's. This collection crosses genres of chick lit, mystery, romance, humor, and action with the possibility of a corpse or two.

A good mini-adventure, up to the standard of the other Rachael O'Brien stories but disappointingly short. I get the feeling the final three books could have been put together into one single novel. With this in mind I am going directly on to the final book in this series. To readers new to this series, I would recommend, but don't start at book 9, start at the beginning at book 1.

Glad the crazy is branching out

This book is refreshing in that the majority of the action takes place outside of the Carolinas. I know Rachel has been to Great Britain, and hails from Ohio, but I enjoyed the last 2 books with the TexMex/Southwest locations as a change.

This one is actually not as good as several of the previous books. It is slow developing and at times quite boring. The editing needs work but I have noticed that a good many Amazon books have that problem.

The action was better in this book than it was in the last three. Not as much time was spent on the friendships. Headed on to the next one, since this is another cliffhanger.

Picking up immediately after the previous book ended, Sunchoke is the ninth Rachael O’Brien book. The storyline is interesting and has a lot of action. It does need an additional edit to get rid of some remaining typing and editing errors. The problem I had with the book is it really should have been the second half of the eighth book. By dividing the single story in two, it really feels like the author is just trying to generate more money from book sales. I do recommend reading it to those who enjoy the Rachael O’Brien Chronicles, however, because the story is good. It’s just annoying that what should have been one book was split into two.

Boring

I love all of the Rachel books but this one was so dissapointing.
Slow, hard to follow, and honestly boring . Hoping for the fun plots and twists in the next .
Don't waste your time on this one .

Fun story of a girl who just has a magnetic attraction to trouble. Good story. Good series. I miss the "note to self" element as in the books when Rachel was in college.

Exciting!

While not like the others, I still found this a good plot line especially when Stone saved her once again.
