Blog Tour & Review: NC-17 by Larissa Reinhart

Synopsis

#StillDetectiveing

As an ex-star of a hit teen detective show, Maizie Albright gets the youth demographic. Or so she thought. Now that she’s adulting, today’s kids make Maizie feel out of date. At least the youth she meets while doing community service at Black Pine’s exclusive healing resort, the Wellspring Center. When these teens aren’t vlogging their attempts to track down Big Foot, they’re trying to prove the Center is up to no good. Starting with the disappearance and possible murder of their not-as-young commander. A murder the police find as likely as Big Foot.

Maizie has her own suspicions about the new celebrity retreat. Particularly when she learns her ex-fiancé has been hired to run the Center. Kind of an issue when she thought Oliver was in prison. Kind of an issue when Nash, the man of her dreams, is out of commission.

Wait, not man of her dreams.

Boss of her fantasies. Professionally speaking, of course.

While Maizie’s helping adolescent Youtubers detect a disappearance, she’s wrangling her mother’s wedding, assuaging an overzealous probation officer, and struggling to keep Nash Security Solutions solvent. Conspiracy theories collide with real-life catastrophes beginning with murder and possibly ending with Maizie’s life.

Review

Maizie's running around in circles with her past, present, and wished for future with Nash keep colliding. Add in Lamar, donuts, and three teens who are in search of Big Foot and their missing friend, and Maizie's got a very long to do list. Maizie's attempt at investigating Chandler's disappearance and the bank bomber's accomplice, intersect in interesting ways with her probation officer, mandated therapy, and Oliver, who is the reason she's on probation to begin with - and her mother who is marrying her other ex-boyfriend. No wonder she keeps having panic attacks. 

It's hard to read this story and not feel for Maizie and her attempts to please Nash and find Chandler for the teens. This is well written and another fun read by Larissa Reinhart with interesting characters and tension that keeps the pace steady.
