I’d highly recommend this book by the very talented author Amy Ruth Allen. I look forward to the next book and all her books to come. – ReaderAnother great read by Amy Ruth Allen.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to the next one in the series. The main character, Abby is likable and all of her friends (and foes) are fun to get to know. The aura of mystery on who the benefactor is and who sabotaged her inventory keep you guessing until the very end. – Reader
