My thoughts about Instant Karma ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First lines—"Faire Tinsley rose out of the red velvet chair and fidgeted in the foyer as she waited anxiously by the door. She watched the front walk through her blinds, one peek at a time."
I love this series and am always anxiously waiting for the next installment. And then I devour it! This series is so, so good.
Instant Karma has a little different feel to it from the previous ones in this series. There wasn't the intense crime that shakes the community and has to be solved. Don't get me wrong, there was a bad guy and crimes being committed but this story focused more on the people of Hart's Ridge and the sisters of the Gray family, which was very nice. I enjoyed getting to know all of them a little bit better.
The Hart's Ridge series just keeps getting better and better and I'm always so excited when the next story is available. Book #6, Nobody Told Me, is coming out on August 21st!
I highly recommend the whole series. These are stories you don't want to miss. I know you'll be looking forward to them, just like I am.
I received a copy of Instant Karma from the author and this is my honest opinion.
