Review
I received this book for review from the author for a honest review. This is the third book in the Mellow aka Mel Summer story. A college student studying to be a film maker in her spare time she solves mysteries and works at the Candle Shoppe.
Mel is found in a hotel room with a knife and covered in blood not her own. She has no memory of the event leading up to being found prior to waking up in a hotel room. Thankfully she's got her friends to help her out, Tiny the lovable biker guy comes through getting her a very good defense lawyer named Calvin to defend her on murder charges. Thankfully they don't have a body just the blood all over her and the hint that there was a murder.
In this book we are introduced to Aunt Ethel a eccentric woman who just happens to be extremely stuck in her own ways. In one scene she's driving Mellow around town, admits she's not had a drivers licence in years, claims that stop signs are guidelines, and that they will get out of your way if you drive on the sidewalk.
I love this series the characters are well written and easily likable I don't think there are any I don't like well except maybe the bad guy but ya know how that goes. I think my fave is Mellow with Rachel in a close second she makes me laugh and she's always getting Mellow into trouble. I had no trouble finishing this in a afternoon, like before I want more and I'm looking forward to the next one.
