This one was self published and the typos and errors show it. It was nice to revisit the characters but the pacing was slow. I think it was a good story that could have used the benefit of good editors.

Fun and zany and fast paced but the ending was just odd.

I’m happy that the storyline still flows after such a gap in between books and also that there seems to be more coming!

I've never been disappointed by a Kyra Davis book and this one is no exception. Fabulous writing and great characters that I wish I knew in real life. Can't wait for another book! Easy read and great pace. Still remember discovering this author while roaming my local bookstore and so glad I picked it up.

It's been a while since I've been in the world of Sophie Katz. I forgot just how chaotic this world could be. The title really should have clued me in.
In a way, I'm glad I stuck it out and finished this series, even knowing that the last two books were a little bit too much for me. While this book did leave us on a bit of a wild cliffhanger, I'm under the impression that there this is the series finale. And let me tell ya, we went out with a bang.
Sophie really dove into the deep end with this one. But the thing is, I was keeping up with Sophie every step of the way. Every clue she uncovered, I was right there with her, clicking things into place. It was kind of fun to be on par with the protagonist of my novel.
This book was definitely a mind-fuck and a half at some points. The scope of the mystery was so broad at the outset, I was legitimately worried for a while that this was going to end up being way bigger than it ended up being. In the end, the scope narrowed down, and that's when things started to get interesting. At least, for me.
However, one line in this book really stuck with me: "If someone tells you they're doing something for the greater good what they're really telling you is they're about to do something very bad. Good deeds don't have to be justified." This is a quote that's going to stay with me for a very, very long time.
Despite the cliffhanger hint of potentially more to come, if this series ends here, I think that would be a good thing. I enjoyed my adventures with Sophie Katz, but her brand of chaos is just a little to much for me these days.
Sophie's mysteries were fun-filled, dramatic, and full of adrenaline. I enjoyed getting to know her, and her world. But now it's time to start getting to know a whole new world of mystery. Good thing I have a series waiting on standby!
