She's Got the Guns by M.O. Mack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great read! I have found a book that hits all of my must-haves, i.e., must have action, must have a great story, must have some mystery, and it always is nice to have some humor when you have this package. I voluntarily read and reviewed a review copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This is one of those books that I would buy it if I had to, just so I can read it, so being chosen to review a copy is the icing on the cake. Honestly, the title is also part of the fun for me. It sparks great interest for me and drew me right to this book.

Emily's background is not necessarily that original, because there are a lot of good books about women's struggles in life. I won't give that away because it is paramount to understanding Emily's motives for how she responds to situations. Sometimes she is kick-butt, smart-mouth, and sort of in your face until she thinks about the fact she should be afraid. It is obvious she has learned many lessons to have been on the run and made it all the way to the Mexican border. She is good at hiding in plain sight.

Obviously, the best part of the book was her new job at the "Pest Control" company. Her new office was where some of the funniest moments happen. If I had one complaint about She's Got the Guns, it would be that the book was too short. I am really hoping that the next Suite #45 book will be a longer novel. M.O. Mack does a great job holding reader interest. If you read the blurb or take a look at the author's website you will see that the author believes in straight with no chaser when telling a story. I can really appreciate that, but, it just went too fast. Great for a story and sad for a reader is really enjoying themselves, especially a visual reader like me. This is a great start to a new series and I am really looking forward to the next Suite #45 installment and I cannot wait to see what the title is for that book. Yes, I know that is putting a bit of pressure on the author, but, somehow, I am pretty sure that M.O. Mack is up to the task.
