Flew through this one! It was so quick and fun. I definitely laughed out loud more than once and I loooved all the New Orleans references- so many little details you have to really know to appreciate. It felt a bit thrown together and rushed at the end, but I still really enjoyed the overall plot. This was my first novel written by a New Orleans author and I am so pleased!

I couldn’t even finish this. Full of tangents and trying to fit in as many New Orleans things as possible. Read like a meandering hodgepodge of stories and memories.

This was fun. I’m always hesitant when reading books set in New Orleans because non-local authors always get it wrong. Ms. Mooney made so many references that made me think of my childhood and family.
Brandy kisses a handsome marcher in a parade which sends her life in an exciting tailspin. When this handsome gentleman gets shot, Brandy and her best friend Julia are tasked with figuring out why. With tons of local references and many crazy shenanigans, their journey is hilarious.
I wouldn’t call this book risqué in the least; however, it’s set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. There are strip clubs and gay night clubs referenced. There is no foul language or strong romance. I just wanted to add that for some. I thought it was comical considering I have been to many of the places referenced. Can’t wait to continue with the series.

Brandy Alexander is watching a Mardi Gras parade with her family when a handsome stranger kisses her. He is then promptly shot and she makes it her mission to discover what is gong on.
This is the first book in the Go Cup series. I really don't know that I would classify it as a cozy. There was quite a bit of craziness going on that did not lend itself to the true cozy genre.
Brandy enlists her friends to help her find the mystery man and ends up at a hospital in a notoriously bad area of New Orleans. All kinds of wild hi-jinks ensue. There are strippers and drag queens and a long lost super hero.
The characters were most definitely quirky and it was a quick easy read. I'm not sure where the next book will lead since there were some unanswered questions about childhood friends and relationships.
I don't know that I will read any further at this time.
