ARC received for an honest review

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up Jed Had To Die. I have loved what I have read of Ms Sivec's work previously, but reading the synopsis, this one had a different feel.

This story had the perfect amount of laughter, wit, snark, sadness, mystery and intrigue. A whodunnit who had the reader wondering right to the end.

And then there is the nerd-turned-hot-cop Leo Hudson. Humina humina

nbsp;
I love that he has grown from the nerdy guy to "Hot Guy" but isn't all over alpha-y with it. He is still the same guy - in a buffed up body.

I adore Payton. I felt for her with the way people in Bald Knob (snicker - I am a 12 year old boy at heart) treated her on her return. Unless you have lived in a small town, you have noooo idea what it is really like, and I live in a small town! I adored how she stood up for her friends, didn't worry about making enemies to protect those she loved. But also wanted to be liked at the same time.

The story flowed seamlessly, I never knew from one minute to the next which direction Ms Sivec was going to take us. #PIE
