Straight to Hell by Michelle Scott. This starts off and comes across as light-hearted chic-lit, but it's really dealing with more serious issues of...decisions and consequences. What would you do if your child was in danger? What would you REALLY do to save her?
But I didn't even realize it until after I finished because the book is extremely well-written. It stays in a fast-paced mode and is funny in spots and throws in a touch of romance...but not really...
My only gripe is that it's one of those "to be continued." Not enough was resolved for me by the end of the book, but that kind of fits the nature of the story. Soon as you solve one problem or beat one monster in life, another one appears. Maybe bigger. Maybe it's just the monster that was there all along.
It's weird cleverness hiding behind light reading.
