Jem is a paramedic who seems to have a curse or hex on her. Easy calls go south and hard calls go souther. She also has a hellish case of asthma as well.

She meets Rosie when the two of them have to Macgyver a harness for a guy just hanging out (And sorta soused). Rosie is a patrol policewoman and after these two women meet once, they keep meeting and then start meeting on purpose. They also get into some big troubles too. Through all this they get closer of course.

I liked the mystery in this novel. I also liked the relationship between Jem and Rosie, as well as the interesting relationships Jem and her family and Rosie and her family.

The one part that really tripped me up was the accents and the words being used. This isn't my first British novel, or first Cari Hunter novel for that matter, but, for a lot of the start of the novel especially I just knew barely any of the words. They were English, just, not the English that I happen to speak, heh. It took me a little bit out of the story for quite awhile.

Still, as I said, it was a fun story, and even though I didn't always get the subtleties, the characters quite unique and delightful to read about. (Also delightfully normal too).

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books. ( )
