The whole dying thing sucked, but Frankie isn't going to dwell. She's focusing on the positive. She's alive. Ish. Her family is safe. Her business is booming. She's even got a boyfriend. Everything is coming up roses in Thunderbolt, Georgia.
Until a client decides she needs more time and makes a run for it in her loaner body. Too bad for the client, the last thing Frankie does before a loaner hits the showroom floor is microchip them for this very reason. Finding the runaway soul will be a piece of cake.
Or it would have been if she hadn't bumped into Carter, who's working a case that gets tangled up in Frankie's repo. Missing women. Stolen cars. Alien abductions? The only way to get Frankie out of trouble is to help Carter uncover who's behind it all. And pray the answer isn't her client.
Contains mature themes.
Even though each audiobook in this series has its own case/mystery, you’ll want to listen to this series in order for the character connection and development.
I love Edwards stories and have been enjoying getting to know Frankie, her siblings, Thunderbolt, Georgia and its inhabitants. Frankie’s body shop is unique. She rents out bodies to the recently deceased so they can complete their final task, etc. The spirits are well vetted and usually abide by the contract, but this time, said spirit hasn’t returned the body.
It’s time for a repo. Frankie has no problem tracking them, but that is when things get weird. She calls Carter (local law) to process the scene and learns women are missing. Could it all be connected? The tale that unfolds has angry gods, plenty of action and more.
The romance with Kierce continues to develop and Frankie needs to loop in her family about her changes but first she needs to find these missing women and a goddess may just hold answers and more. The tale was gripping but sprinkled with family, romantic moments, star gazing and more.
Candace Joice’s narration captures both male and female voices perfectly. Her tone and inflections enhance the story and bring the characters to life.

About Hailey Edwards
Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy. She lives in Alabama with her husband, their daughter, and a herd of dachshunds.
About Candace Joice
Candace Joice has been devoted to storytelling since she was a child—first as an avid reader, next as a movie watcher, and finally in her first stage role as a duckling. Today, whether on a stage, in front of a camera, or behind a microphone, she relishes the singular experience of collaborating with a writer's words. With a master's degree in theater and ten years of regional theater credits as an actor and director, Candace draws from a wealth of experience to immerse listeners in compelling storytelling. Onstage, she has played characters as diverse as Elizabeth Bennett and Eddie Van Halen. She's just as versatile in her booth, jumping smoothly from the depth and vulnerability of literary fiction to the many character voices of genre novels, to the focus and authority of nonfiction. And when she's not in her booth or on stage? You'll probably find her playing with her dog or baking bread, macarons, pies, and cakes!
