The author is trying to keep a man convicted of a terrible crime from getting the death penalty, while at the same time having flashbacks to traumatic events that happened to her in her childhood. I can't wait to see how this turns out!]]> 2020-04-08 14:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bilmesd1/whg8qg7j89d8/wish/498769311 kennedyg5 https://padlet.com/bilmesd1/whg8qg7j89d8/wish/499079845 Born to Run

They are easy reads and HILARIOUS! After One For the Money there is Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly and so on. I believe there are 27 books in this series so far. The series follows a female bounty hunter who comes across some interesting characters. If you like CSI, Lucifer, Reality TV, etc., You will love this series!

But you can't help but fall in love with Trix, the street tough main character, whose life is upended when she goes to live with relatives she never knew existed in a magical small town.
