Summary
I really enjoyed this book, I liked the characters. Sure some of it was predictable, but that didn't take away from the mystery. Shelby and Griff draw you in and you can't help but like them. You might start the book thinking Shelby is a week woman, but doesn't take you long to see that she is strong and smart.
Violence: There is some violence characters getting killed, but doesn't go in depth or describe in detail
Language: The F¬bomb is dropped several times through the book, but not to the point that you can't get passed it
Sexual: It's a mystery/romance, there is sex not described in detail or mentioning body parts
Drug & Alcohol: there is drinking in the book, a mention or two of drugs, but not the focus of the book.
