Book Review: Wicked for Hire by Lotta Smith ► Suzy Turner

Wicked for Hire: The Synopsis

Sometimes, the opportunity of a lifetime busts your door instead of gently knocking at it…
FREE on Kindle Unlimited!
Medical student Amanda Meyers thought she had her life all planned out until people started dying the moment they touched her. Being cleared of any wrongdoing didn’t stop the medical school from expelling her, and it didn’t rid her of the unfortunate nickname Grim Reaper.
Luckily, having a rep as the harbinger of death isn’t a total resume killer. Rick Rowling, Special Agent for the FBI’s Paranormal Cases Division recruits her to work for the Bureau. But the sexy, brilliant, outrageous loose cannon proves to be just as untouchable as the mysterious creature or creatures that may be responsible for the seemingly unsolvable murder that becomes their first case together.
Instead of treating patients, Amanda’s life becomes a test of her patience and a wild ride into the wicked paranormal world where her new boss runs the show. Together they face a ghoulish force that could destroy the entire city and a grueling family dinner that could leave Amanda contemplating harakiri.
It’s a battle of life and debt [student debt, that is] and saving the world has never been so funny.
Wicked for Hire is part of the Paranormal in Manhattan Mystery series. If you like fast-paced mysteries full of quirky characters and unexpected twists, you’re gonna love this book.

MY REVIEW

I’m a huge fan of chick lit as well as a huge fan of fantasy so whenever they’re both combined into one novel, I can’t wait to read it. And because I loved the premise of this book (and that fabulous cover), I knew it had the potential to be really great, but I must say I was just a tiny bit disappointed.

I would have liked to have read much more about Amanda, her character, her relationships – particularly her best friends. After all, {to me} chick lit is all about these relationships and the fun that surrounds them. I wanted a bit more depth, if that makes sense? I really, really wanted to love this book but it just didn’t hit the spot this time. However, I quite like Lotta Smith’s style and if she were to just give her next book more of that true chick lit vibe, I’d love to read the result.
