(Deadwood #13)
Paranormal, Mystery, 345 pages
Published September 28, 2023 by Ann Charles
Time is a tricky devil. And so is that blasted imp!
Violet Parker needs to catch the little terror before it wreaks even more havoc in the Black Hills. But now that she’s saddled with this dang Timekeeper gig, she has a lot to juggle, like the real monsters wanting to tear the flesh from her bones just for fun.
If she can’t figure out how to wrangle “time” to save her family, the Grim Reaper might come swinging for them next.
But what about that danged honey-loving imp?
“Bravery badges are frickin’ overrated.” ~ Violet Parker
My thoughts about TimeReaping in Deadwood ~~
(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 lines.)
First lines—"'This here crazy-ass notion of yours has me thinkin' ya got termites in your rafters.' Ol' Man Harvey said, eyeing me over a shopping cart laden with jars of honey."
Oh my, how can this series just keep getting better and better? The adventures of Violet and her supportive, quirky, crazy crew continue to amaze me with each page that I turn. TimeReaping in Deadwood is book #13 in the Deadwood mystery series and these characters have grown on me more and more with each book. I can't wait for another visit to Deadwood to see what they are up to. And believe me, Ann always leaves the reader wanting more!
This installment didn't seem to be quite as drama filled but more character driven, which I loved. I loved the relationship development going on among all the characters. And Harvey—same ol' Harvey—if you know you know. I love Harvey!
I am a huge fan of Ann Charles and have read this series from the start. It is so hard to wait for each new book to come out but the anticipation is part of the fun. Where will she take me next? I totally loved TimeReaping in Deadwood and read it way to fast. I devoured it actually. And now.... I wait.
I highly recommend this series if you want some laughs, drama, creepiness, and a whole bunch of family love and support. TimeReaping in Deadwood for the win!
