Status Updates From Justified

I read behind her lives and am currently reading both psuedo and in her shadows. The characters are meant to be the same. Yet, there does not seem to be a connection. Yes, there is fraud and conning. However, April in Behind Her Lives does not seem to be the same April in In Her Shadows. Same goes for Kennedy in both Psuedo and Behind Her Lives. I will continue reading but disappointed at the books as a series.
