Dead Girl Running

Dead Girl Running (Cape Charade #1) by Christina Dodd is my second book by this author I have also read Because I'm Watching back in 2016 which I loved. I have to say that it was nice to read a book that was the first of a series, since my first book was a third in the series. I have come to enjoy this author more than I thought I would considering I am a very picky person when it comes to my books. Unique, inventive, captivating - this plot is all that and part Gothic, part assumed identity, part amnesia victim, part who done it and totally fascinating. I really don't know what I expected but I loved what I got. Kellen Adams has been the assistant manager of Yearning Sands, a high end destination resort on the Washington coast for a few months. She has been many things in her life and lived many places and all she wants now is a place to call home.  Kellen becomes a jack of all trades when the owners of the resort go on vacation. Everything is fine until a body washes up on shore and the peaceful place because full of buzzing energy and smuggling art that has everyone on their toes. Everyone is a suspect in my eyes and Kellen's past comes forward in flashes making the reader want to keep going just to see what's going on and who done it. Fantastic read from start to finish. The only question I have is what is next?

This book. Was so good.

Seriously.

I went into it not knowing anything about it. I had read one of Dodd's other books earlier this year, but pure chance led me to this one. And I loved everything about it.

Kellen Adams is a woman with a mysterious past. She lost a year of her life, and she knows it has something to do with the gunshot wound on her forehead. But that's not all. She's living a lie. As she takes on a job as an assistant manager for a resort in Oregon, her past comes back to haunt her when she's tasked with taking on a smuggling ring while the owner is on vacation. No matter where she turns, she faces danger, and she doesn't know who she can trust.

I read this book in an afternoon, and as soon as I hit the last page, I knew I needed to read the sequel to see what happens next. I haven't done that in ages, but trust me, you'll feel the same way once you read this fantastic book.
