Jack Girlz Atlanta follows three sisters bound by blood and betrayal as they take revenge through high-stakes scamming. While I loved the concept and the sister dynamics, the pacing was slow—at times. POV shifts mid-chapter made it hard to stay immersed. I’d prefer single-POV in each chapter and allowing for shorter chapters to keep things tighter. Also, the spice caught me off guard—personally, I like my thrillers without romance.

As a debut in this genre, it shows promise. I enjoy Danae’s work in romance and hope to see her thriller voice grow. One small gripe: the story follows three sisters, so the title and solo-sister cover didn’t quite fit, in my opinion.

Thank you Black Odyssey Media for the ARC. All thoughts are my own.

Solid 4 stars! Books 1 and 4 are still my favorites in the series, but this one was a wild ride that falls just under them. Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave gave me exactly what I needed—chaos, comedy, and crime-solving. These books are the ultimate palate cleansers: fast-paced, hilarious, and never too serious (even with dead bodies involved). 

Finlay and Vero are back with their usual amateur sleuthing shenanigans, and this time a very nosy neighbor joins the party. I laughed, I cringed, and I’m already counting down to book 6. 

Special shoutout to the narrator, Angela Dawe. She nails every character voice (and there are a lot). Always a fun time with this crew! 

Thank you Macmillan Audio for the ALC. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
