A mind-reader, a mob boss, and a hitman. What could go wrong? More fun than you can imagine!
Shopping at the grocery store for carrots shouldn't be dangerous, but for Shelby Nichols, it changes her life forever. During a bank robbery, she is caught in the cross-fire and grazed by a bullet to the head, leaving her with the ability to read minds. Not only is she hearing what everyone thinks about her, but the gunman who shot her is out to silence her forever. In her fight to stay alive she is saved from certain death by a handsome hitman with ties to organized crime. This pulls Shelby even deeper into danger, where knowing someone's thoughts can not only hurt her feelings, but get her killed.

The new novel Carrots is such a delight to read and should be added to your summer reading list today! From the moment you open the cover and meet Shelby Nichols, you will love being in her world and experiencing things right by her side. Author Colleen Helme has provided us with a quirky, endearing, and at times delightfully frustrating character who finds herself surviving a supermarket shooting, and can then hear what people are thinking when she wakes up. You will love following Shelby get herself into some adventurous and hilarious situations with her newfound talent – you simply will not want to put this book down! This book has everything from mobsters to marital stress, and turns a very average woman’s life upside down with her newfound ability to read minds. The writing is fresh, witty and well done, you are never left feeling as if things are dragging on, and I was continuously entertained while reading this book.
Well done Colleen Helme, cannot wait for your next creative creation! If it is half as good as Carrots, I’ll be reading! Such a treat, I will be gifting copies to my friends soon so we can discuss it soon, because believe me, you will want to connect with someone else who has read it to re-live the well crafted moments of the book.
