Review & Release Blitz: Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score

Title: Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door

Author: Lucy Score

Genre: Psychic Romantic Comedy

Release Date: August 27, 2020

A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is. Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she’s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they’re clairvoyant visions.

Just when things can’t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor…who turns up murdered.

Nick Santiago doesn’t play well with others. Unless the “others” are of the female persuasion. Wink. He’s a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entrée every night, if you catch his drift.

When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress.

All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she’s a loose end that requires snipping.

MY REVIEW

Riley Thorn is very leery of her psychic gifts. But when it comes time to use them to solve a case, she kinda sorta has to use them. It's that case that brings the hottie PI, Nick, into her life, though, so perhaps (definitely) it's a good thing for once. Or perhaps not, because this case is going to test Riley's fortitude, and she and Nick will have to be smarter than everyone else if they want to survive.

I knew Lucy Score could write the hell out of a contemporary romance. I did not know she could write an outstanding paranormally tinged romantic comedy/suspense, but that's exactly what she did with Riley Thorn. It's laugh out loud hilarious, the tension between Riley and Nick is yummy, and the secondary characters are as fabulous as the two leads. I am so excited for more Riley and Nick and co.'s shenanigans.
