Thank you for reading. :) Here's what a few reviewers are saying about the series: Sprinkled: In case you never thought working for the mob could be fun, think again. If Lacey’s “resume” doesn’t get you smiling, her reason for selling her soul will. From page one, Sprinkled had me laughing. By the time I got to the end, my ribs hurt. Sparkled: I love this series. Lacey is bumbling but endearing. All the characters are fun and engaging -and a little odd- and I can't wait to see what happens next! **** Lacey Luzzi’s roller coaster of a life has been filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. She just never expected the lows to be so… sparkly. After falling on her face during an attempt to follow in her recently deceased mother’s stripper-boots, Lacey realizes she’s not cut out for life on stage. She sets out on a year-long investigation to find her true family, never expecting she’ll find it…with a capital “F.” No one chooses their families, but Lacey Luzzi will be lucky if she can survive hers. ** ** Lacey Luzzi: Scooped, is a novella-length, humorous cozy mystery with a strong female protagonist in the spirit of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum, albeit one working for the wrong side of the law…
