Dead bodies? They tend to show up in her life--frequently. Her estranged mother? That's something new. And terrifying.

Just one month after the disaster at Christmas, Andi Sloan is doing her best to get her life back to normal: keeping up with the overflowing list of cars to repossess, spending time with her amazing rockstar boyfriend, making sure the Golden Girls don't get into too much trouble, and watching as both her best friends are swept off their feet. Everything is fine-if she ignores the recurring dreams of being held at gunpoint or the flashbacks that seem to be triggered at the littlest reminders of that night.

Andi insists she's handling it. Things are about as normal as her life ever gets, so everyone can stop worrying about her.

But when her mother-who she's only ever known through her grandparents' stories and old photographs-shows up on her porch out of the blue, Andi is confronted with something even more terrifying than the bullets and bodies that have become an unfortunately common occurrence. Kitty's return to Roanoke digs up old hurts, ones that Andi isn't sure she's ready to forgive.

It's not just emotional baggage Kitty's dragged to her front door, however, and between the bodies dropping, the New York mob sniffing around, and the mysterious Broker's involvement, Andi may not have time to get used to her mom's presence before Kitty's taken away from her again-and this time, not by choice.

If you're looking for a page-turner adventure that makes you laugh out loud and fall in love with the characters, this is the book for you.
