Summary
There’s nothing Avery Shaw loves more than a challenge....at least when it comes to tracking down a story. The challenge she’s facing this time is the one thing she might not be able to overcome, though. Vacation. That’s right, not only is Southeastern Michigan’s busiest reporter off work for a week....but she’s also on the receiving end of a visit from her boyfriend’s mother. Eliot Kane is tough as nails but he’s obviously nervous about the two most important women in his life crossing paths.
The fact that he’s nervous makes Avery agitated....and she worries about very little other than who she can upset and how quickly she can make her enemies cry. As luck would have it, Avery stumbles on a story when she should be enjoying her time off. A high-rise apartment fire leaves one dead....and ties to organized crime are abundant. The only thing Avery knows about the mob is what television and movies have taught her. That doesn’t mean she’s not keen to learn.
Avery is in a pickle. She has to uncover the motives behind a murder, get her boyfriend’s mother to like her without losing herself, and keep her family out of trouble even though they’re sniffing around and causing mischief. Oh, and she has to pull it all off without melting down or letting Eliot know what she’s up to. Things are about to get wacky and dangerous in Avery’s world. She wouldn’t have it any other way....even if it ultimately kills her.

Under fire in more ways than one
I want to say I enjoyed this book and for the most part I did but Avery spent to much time arguing with family rather than investigating for my liking. With this being book 13 we know a lot about Avery's wacky family who are regulars in the series, so it was nice to have someone from Elliott's side for a change. I liked that Avery tried hard to change for Elliots mother's visit and there was some funny situations as a result as she and Avery try to get along. I also really liked the lie pack between her and her boyfriend, not sure if will last long but it's a understandable/ memorable reaction from her boyfriend, She is only allowed to lie to him once a month or has to go vegan for the month. The mystery got lost with everybody telling Avery to go vacation and with her trying to do it without them knowing (yeh right) as a result there wasn't a big suspect pool to choose from. Off to start the next book.
Avery is panicking as she is going to meet her boyfriend's mother for the first time. It's time to be a grown up, while her cousin moves all her star wars figures out of the house, Avery goes shopping for house essentials. In the way home she stumbles over a fire. Despite being on holiday Avery senses a story and stops to question the witnesses who are watching the apartment building burn. She is just in time to witness a good Samaritan come out with a young girl. He disappears before she can interview him, leaving Avery curious. Then she learns about the dead body of a tenant found on the wrong floor and Avery forgets all about vacation time. Can she uncover the story? And still find time to get to know Elliott's mother?
The narrator gives each character there own distinct voice.
