Publisher Description

A stoner, an Instagram model, a Czech oligarch, and a missing unicorn. Nick Fox and Kate O'Hare have their work cut out for them in their weirdest, wildest adventure yet in this New York Times bestseller by Janet and Peter Evanovich.

Straight arrow FBI Agent Kate O'Hare always plays by the rules.  Charming Con Man Nicholas Fox makes them up as he goes along.  She thinks he's nothing but a scoundrel.  He thinks she just needs to lighten up.  They're working together to tackle the out-of-bounds cases ordinary FBI agents can't touch.  And, their relationship?  Well, there hasn't been so much explosive chemistry since Nitro was introduced to Glycerin.

Next on the docket: The mysterious disappearance of the Silicon Valley billionaire, known as the Big Kahuna.  Kate's been assigned to find him but no one seems particularly keen on helping.  His twenty-six year old adult actress wife-turned Instagram model wife and his shady Czech business partner are more interested in gaining control of his company.  For that they need a dead body not a living Kahuna.

The only lead they have is the Kahuna's drop-out son, who's living the dream in Hawaii - if your dream is starting your day with the perfect wave and ending it with a big bowl of weed.  To get close to the Kahuna's son, Kate and Nick go undercover as a married couple in the big wave, bohemian, surfer community of Paia, Maui.  Living a laid back, hippy-dippy lifestyle isn't exactly in Kate's wheelhouse, but the only thing more horrifying is setting up house with Nick Fox, even if he does look pretty gnarly on a longboard.  If they don't catch a break soon, waves aren't the only thing she's going to be shredding (or bedding).

Not the Kate and Nick I Know

This book is an enjoyable disappointment. The team of Janet and Peter failed this time around. Its quite obvious Lee Goldberg wasn’t part of this story. It’s like the first books and overarching storyline were completely overlooked and only certain parts and characteristics were picked to add to this story.

First, the entire team of characters beyond Kate, Nick, and Jake are missing. It is definitely not the same without Boyd’s dramatic spin and there isn’t a heist with fancy sets and special effects. Next, Kate and Nick pursued an intimate relationship previously and this book reverts to Kate trying to fight her attraction to Nick. Jake is supposed to blow up anything and everything possible and have his team of croonies on standby and not one of them makes an appearance. Finally, Nick is portrayed as the athletic type that supposedly has some sort of military training when in the previous five books he would be sneaky, using the slush fund from the FBI for his heists, making others do the hard work for him.

The story is still entertaining but you really have to overlook the lack of continuity in the series

Lo Scho ,

Not like the other books in the series

They changed one of the authors and it suffered. Over half of the “dialogue” is practically written as a travel guide- like somebody copy and pasted entire Wikipedia pages about the locations into the text. The character of Kate O’Hare has suddenly become nothing but a two dimensional trope who contributes nothing to the plot and constantly needs everything explained to her. There was so much expose it was insulting and beyond boring. So repetitive- I thought if Kate said “crap on a cracker” or the narrator said Nick “gave a crooked smile” one more time I was going to scream. I loved the other books in this series but I wish I had never bothered with this one. I want my money and my time back.

This book doesn’t make since in the series

If you’ve read the other books then this book will frustrate you. It’s as though whoever wrote it hasn’t read the previous books. I would skip this book and hope that the next one is better and that this one didn’t ruin the series.
