    Glad she has a new series
  

*by M***F on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2020*

I thought Charley Davidson was a funny and interesting female character to follow. Yet, I must confess that I didn’t finish the series and I'm not sure why except that sometimes life interferes with my reading. I do plan to go back to it at some point.However, when I learned a new book by Darynda Jones was coming out, I was super excited about it. I've always liked her writing style. As luck would have it, I was given a complimentary copy by the publisher and I couldn't be happier.I can’t say enough about how entertaining this book was. It has so many good one-liners. The right amount of fun, drama, and mystery to keep me entertained on a Saturday afternoon.The plot:Sunshine Vicram has not been home in fifteen years. She’s back with her fourteen-year-old daughter Auri. Currently, she’s living in a remodeled guesthouse behind her parent's (Cyrus and Elaine Freyr) home. She’s not clear how she got the job, but she’s the new sheriff the Del Sol county in New Mexico.Her best friend Quincy is a deputy and her lost love Levi Ravinder lives here too. Levi has made his family business legit. His corn whiskey distillery is wold-famous.Multiple things are happening simultaneously:*A young girl, a classmate of Auri's, Sybil St. Aubin has been abducted. Levi’s nephew, Jimmy has disappeared at the same time.*A man, Ramses Rojas has escaped prison.*A neighbor's dispute between Mrs. Sorenson and Mr. Madrid about a rooster named P. Diddy.*Sunshine is trying to remember the details of her own abduction. When she was 17, she was taken and held captive. She had a traumatic brain injury with a month in a coma and with a sequela of retrograde amnesia. Although, lately she has been having some glimpses of her time as a prisoner.Soon thereafter, her town will have U.S. Marshal Vincent Deleon and Special Agent Carter Fields helping with the investigations. Both are nice to look at. Although, Sunshine's heart belongs to Levi.As if this was not enough for Sunshine, she also has to deal with Donna, the Major. She wants to know who the Dangerous Daughters are. The Dangerous Daughters are thought to be a myth but maybe they're real.If you like Darynda Jones' prior work, you're going to love this one. I was dying to get to the second book in this series right away. I have a desperate need to learn more about Levi and the secrets he keeps.Cliffhanger: No5/5 Fangs

    Wild ride
  

*by E***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2022*

This book was awesome and what a wild ride that smacked every emotion in my body.  There are twists and turns on every page.  Times my eyes leaked.  No ugly crying but close.  The characters she had created are intriguing and perfect.  There's snarky humor which I love.  This is difficult to write without spoilers.  Its a panic attack inducing read but so worth all the times I had to do slow my breathing and heart rate.  The writing is so brilliant, like other reads by this author, there were times it was pure art.  At one point two consecutive events happening to two different characters at the same time, almost identical, like a tragic ballet.  As a former dancer I don't know how else to describe it.  But that was not the only brilliantly written part.  Don't pass this one up.  You'll regret it.  My only complaint is it leaves you hanging at the end.  Not anger inducing cliffhanger kind of ending.  But enough that there better be a next book in this series.  I'm checking now.  Great read.  I can't stress that enough.

    Cool Town, Cool New Sherriff and a 15 Year Old Mystery to Solve.
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021*

A Bad Day for Sunshine is a fun starter book to a new series following around the newly elected sheriff of a small eccentric town, how she got elected is also a bit of a mystery. I’ve loved Darynda Jones Charlie Davidson series (on day I’ll finish it) and was excited to jump into a new world with some new characters.Sunshine and her daughter Auri move back to the town Sunshine grew up in. They have the cutest relationship really and I adored their interactions. You can tell they have a really great relationship and while there seem to be a few secrets, some that came out, others that I’m sure will be revealed later, they have a quick easy banter that made the book.Sunshine was kidnapped as a teen, she has some amnesia around that event in her life and found out she was pregnant not long after. She is determined to face her demons and figure out who stole her and why. But first there is another teenage girl Auri befriended that has gone missing, along with an autistic teen in the mountains and an escaped convict somewhere in the area. Sunshine is going to need the help of the man she pined for all through Junior High and High School to help if she is going to find them.***“You’re plying me with your feminine wiles?” “Not at all. I left my feminine wiles in my other pants. And I very rarely ply in public.”***Levi is definitely tall, dark, broody and sexy as hell. He runs a little hot and cold with Sunshine, I have a guess as to why but alas we are going to need some more books to flesh that out. He comes from a long line of moonshiners and while he wants to bring the business into the mainstream and be completely legal there are some in his family who like being on the other side of the law and have different plans for the family business.I enjoyed this story overall mostly because I really want to get to the mystery of Levi and Auri. The town is a fun place with all kinds of quirky things happening like doomsday muffins and a rooster kidnapping. Still there are some tropes I could do without. Does every man who comes in contact with Sunshine need to be attracted to her? She had 3-4 different guys flirting with her shamelessly in the book.This is a fun read. There is a lot of word play, snark and quippiness happening that make it feel light even when the subject matter is sometimes dark. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter are cute and funny like in the Charlie Davidson books too. It was a great start to a new series and I’m ready to spend some more time with Sun, Auri and Levi as they figure out what they are to each other.
