Side Hustle: Season Two, Episode 2

Rate this book
All three episodes of Season Two are now combined on all platforms in a full length novel named Gut Check.

Clyde Sargent is rude. Egotistical. And a bad tipper. Delivering a fourteen-inch Rollo’s Revenge pizza should be an in-and-out job. Until he drops a bombshell he might’ve committed murder. Then Darcy Walker can’t let it go.

Days from the police academy, Darcy’s conscience reminds her it’s not her job to solve the mystery. No matter how appealing the challenge may be.

Struggling with coloring between the lines, the more she tries to conform, the more crime the universe throws her way. A dead body appears. A hit is placed on her friends. And someone from the academy has a Star Wars moment and goes to the dark side.

A new day is on the horizon in season two of Side Hustle. Darcy’s dream is within reach. Will she pump the brakes on her personality and let others take her cases? Or will she get kicked out of the program before she even earns her badge?

Love, Love, LOVE!

Oh how I love Darcy and the hot water she gets into! Still in the police academy and still doing whatever she needs to do in order to solve the mystery. Thank goodness she’s got friends in high places or would that be low places? Another action packed installment with Darcy escaping by the skin of her teeth! Bring on some more Darcy!!

While I was reading season two I was so excited to read the book and wanted to read as fast as I could but at the same time didn't want it to end! Darcy's adventures are always entertaining and I never know how she is going to get herself out of the trouble she inevitably finds. A.J. always keeps us guessing and throws unexpected twists along the way. This series is funny, heartwarming and leaves you wanting more.

Episode two started with a bang literally. I will never understand how Darcy manages to get involved in such chaotic circumstances but I hope it never stops. When enemies emerge out of the shadows an attempt to hurt Darcy and the ones she loves will she be able to solve the case on time? With so many twists and turns episode two kept me on the edge of my seat.

Can't stop!

These books are impossible to put down! I'm deeply invested in Darcy's life, not to mention that of her friends/family. Do yourself a favor: start at the beginning, and prepare to binge read!

I can't wait for more Darcy!

I love all things Darcy and after reading Season Two, Episode one I couldn't wait to see what she got into next! This one picks up where Episode one left off with plenty of action and Darcy 's humor. It is a very quick read but I tried to drag it out so that I wouldn't have so long to wait for the next episode.

If you haven't read any of the Darcy Walker series I recommend starting a the beginning with Grade A Stupid. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and eagerly await the next episode!

This will be a quick review. These serials are so hard to review.

I have been immersed in Darcy's world for years. I am enjoying the rollercoaster she keeps taking me on.

We get a continuation of the last book in this one. I really wasn't sure where the author was taking me. I was a little scared there for a chapter or two... but alas... more hijinx, action, mystery, giggles... everything I love about this entire series.

If you haven't read Darcy Walker yet, I highly suggest picking up the first book, Grade A Stupid. I promise, you will devour each novel from start to finish, leading you to her new found adulthood in these new serials.

You do have to read Season 2, Episode 1 before reading this. Episode 2 does continue the story. Episode 3 will finish this one, but there will be more of Darcy to come.

I honestly don't know what to say for this review. There is way too much I could give away. I would hate to do that.

Just expect Darcy to be Darcy. She is a verb after all.

This is a great, fast paced read that you won't be able to put down. You'll be begging for Season 3!

Side Hustle: Season Two, Episode 2 by A.J. Lape

There is no story like a Darcy Walker story. And AJ Lape tells it magically. Darcy is living life as a verb again, making enemies and new friends along the way. If you don't like a cliff hanger, wait until they all come out, because this is another doozie. Well worth the read.
