Great fun--this gang is a hoot!
I really love these books. I can't wait to finish this particular trilogy, cuz this whole gang is an absolute hoot. We get to see Avery from the Chevy series just a bit, and we get to see a crime solved, so there's a lovely little win-win here. This one does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but the third book, Rebel, is already out, so I'm ready to start right in on that! Highly recommended!

ugh!
The dog didn't deserve to be in a mystery this bad! The plot made no sense at all--were these people from another planet?

I love all of Mary Hikers books. They are a quick read and a fun story. Some of her books need some edits but nothing I'd get hung up on.

Good cozy mystery
Just as enjoyable as book 1. This was yet another easy cozy mystery by Mary Hiker. Now to read the final book in the series.
