For
Jack Shepherd, tiger shape-shifter and former soldier, life is heading
for a dead end. Dead End, Florida, to be exact. When he learns that he
inherited a combination pawn shop/private investigation agency from his
favorite uncle, Jack’s first job is to solve his uncle’s murder. Because
sometimes it takes a tiger’s eye to see the truth.
Over
the holidays as I recuperated from surgery, I got the chance to read
the first in a new series by Alyssa Day. I've read other books by her
over the years. I enjoy her voice and story telling abilities. Dead
Eye is awesome. Yes, I said awesome! There I said it again.
Alyssa
takes romance tropes, story telling tropes, cliches, and everyday humor
of life's foibles and adds a spark of snark and mystery to them. The
story told in first person from Tess Callahan's view is full of twist
and turns. I read to get lost and involved in the story. This one I
did time and time again. A story that takes my mind off things is worth
hooting and hollering about. And more than once.
I
recommended the book to my bestie who doesn't like sparkly were
creature stories. He even enjoyed the book. While he might not read
others in the series, he laughed and hooted with me over the pages that
we read to each other or discussed as the writers/authors we are.
Book
two won't be out until around April from what Alyssa says. Keep your
eye out for an enjoyable series and laugh out loud read. I strongly
recommend this series.
