Tag along
on this fast paced, giggle inducing, witty and absolutely clever first book in
the Skylar Wolfe Mystery series by Mariana Thorn.
Skylar is a
PI, but not your regular one. Her motto is; “Nothing good happens before ten in
the morning” – and she sticks to it. She won’t even open her eyes until after
10. And if someone drags her up before that, they better have a darn good
reason for it. Like a dead body, the zombie apocalypse beginning or pancakes.
She is running the PI business with her cousin; Levi.
Skylar is
definitely different than others; her mind works in strange ways (you might
want Levi to translate for you once in a while), she loves food (she could eat
all day!!), sleeps in, calls her office for the den and she speaks before she
truly think – or so it seems. Her mind is sharp as a knife, and she notices
things some people would overlook without second thought. I absolutely ADORE her mind and Mariana made me giggle more than once by the things that Skylar said.
Mariana has
created something unique with Skylar, Levi and their PI services. She made me
giggle several times, just because Skylar is… well, Skylar. She is frank and
speaks her mind; even if others around her won’t believe their ears. She also
LOVES to tease people and mess with people, just to get a reaction from them.
After a
bounty Hunt that was rough, Skylar runs home to relax and catch up on her
favorite tv-shows, only to discover someone dumped a body on her porch. Which
of course lands Skylar in the hot seat with the new detective in town; Aiden
Livingston. Aiden is the opposite of Skylar; he’s tidy, follows the rules and
according to Skylar; needs to get laid.
Slice &
Dice is a fast paced short read which will leave you craving more, it will make
you giggle and leave you wondering how the hell Skylar made the connection. I
will definitely recommend Slice & Dice to anyone who loves a good laugh and
quirky characters.
But this last bit of trouble she seems to have fallen into is the deadly variety. There’s a corpse at her door (no really, I’m completely serious) with her name all over it. It seems she has pissed off the wrong person. Being Skylar the list could be a little long. She teams up with Norcrest’s new delicious lead detective, Aiden Livingston. Then leads the hunt to find the person responsible.

As a child all her stories involved horses, horses and more horses. There might have been a slight obsession. Writing became more serious in her early twenties but she never dreamed of publishing until much later. Mariana participates yearly in the international event called NANOWRIMO. She has even been known as a Municipal Liaison for that crazy event. There is nothing like the feeling of encouraging other writers, she would say.
Outside of writing one of her favorite places to sit and read are the sunny beaches of Florida. At home in Washington State her favorite activity is riding horses up on the mountain trails. She has an awesome group of family and friends that keep her in coffee and encouragement. Then there is her best buddy Tony, her little dog. She suspects he will try and take over the world someday.
