Title: April
Undercover
Author: EvanKaty
Review: There
are very few books I get excited over but when I found out Evan Katy was still
writing her Samantha Rialto Mysteries I couldn’t stop smiling. April is just as good if not better than January,
February and March which I was an unable to put down. April Undercover starts
off with Sam trying to do a good deed for her sort of friend Skipper Turnbuckle
but as always no good deed goes unpunished and by the end of the day a man
threatens to kill her, a mob boss “kidnaps her” and her jeep is set on fire.
Sam best friends Maxine and Olivia learn what was buried in the backyard
attracting attention of two trespasser and the girls decide to use booby traps
to catch the trespasser.
To top off everything Sam’s almost boyfriend
Ben Parker seems to be keeping secrets and spending time with his ex-partner
Sharon Gilbert.
Before spring break is over Sam is dragged
into the middle of a gang war that threatens everything she knows and loves.
April Undercover is filled with laugh out loud
moments, non-stop action, sweet moments of Ahh and nail biting moments which I
lost a nail too biting it off. Olivia had me laughing so hard though out the
book.
Evan Katy writes equal parts Mystery and
Romance with neither part dominating the story. I think this might be my
favorite book in the series so far and I can’t wait for the next book coming
out next May 2015.
There is quite a bit of language in the book
and if there is sex it ends with a close of the door.
I love this series.
Thank you Heidi for this review.

Synopsis
Spring
Break – If you’re Samantha Rialto, this is a time for bingo tournaments, ice
cream trucks, and backyard electrocutions.
Sam is
on spring break from her job as a middle school music teacher. She has no plans
other than to relax and recover from the stressful events of the past few
months. Her friend, private investigator Skipper Turnbuckle, has just been
released from the hospital. He tricks her into accompanying him on a simple
background check. But nothing in Sam’s life is ever simple. By the end of the
afternoon a man named Chili threatens to kill her, a Russian mob boss briefly
abducts her, and her Jeep is set on fire.
At
home, Sam’s friends Maxie and Olivia, want to learn the secret of what’s buried
in their backyard. Edgar and Jackson, a pair of bumbling trespassers, are also
interested in the mysterious hatch, and their actions become increasingly more
destructive.
If that
weren’t enough, FBI Agent Ben Parker, Sam’s almost-boyfriend, has a secret he
won’t share and has been spending time with Sharon Gilbert, a detective on the
Oak Valley Police Department. Ben is irritated with Sam for continuing to
associate with Skipper, and their mutual frustration reaches a boiling point.
Before
Sam’s spring break is over, she’s dragged into the middle of a brutal gang war.
Her life and the lives of her friends are threatened. To stay alive Sam will
have to figure out the truth…before it kills her.
