Riley Thorn and the Blast from the Past by Lucy Score

funny

4.0

The Blast from the Past finds our favorite PI couple working through some growing pains. Things have been pretty fast-tracked since Nick and Riley first got together. They moved in together; they started working together; and now they own a home together with a laundry list of much needed repairs.

But since the big revelation at the end of The Corpse in the Closet, Nick has been obsessed with a former cold case, and Riley has been left to manage the house and their wayward neighbors / former housemates while Brian and Josie wait and wait and wait for Nick to accept new cases.

When new characters enter the scene, they bring trouble to Nick and Riley’s doorstep, and her powers start misfiring.

This one is still fun, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first two. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the clients in this book or of the strain they brought to Riley and Nick’s relationship.

We do get some absolutely delicious Kellen and Jasmine moments, though. I can’t wait to see their antagonists-to-lovers story arc come to a head.

And, of course, there are still plenty of moments that had me cackling out loud.

I received a copy of the ebook from Bloom Books. All review opinions are my own.
