For someone so worried about getting close to people, Penny finds herself caught up in the lives of people remarkably easily. Within minutes of one of the gym workers helping her out of a tight spot Penny has got herself a job.
Crushin It gym is busy, particularly the smoothie bar that Penny is asked to help out on. As the days go by Penny is befriended by Shannon, the manager’s girlfriend, and is even exercising. She puts it down to the smoothie blend she’s given each day. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time until she sees the raven.
Before we know it there’s a death on the cards, Penny is under suspicion and it’s pretty obvious that there’s more going on at the gym than she realised.
As with book one, this is a fast-paced read. Cosy mystery with a bit of paranormal thrown into the mix. I liked Grandma, and her affinity with Penny and her gift was interesting. Still not entirely sure what the point of TC and Scrubb is.
