    Book Review

Reviewed by Brenda Casto for Readers' Favorite

The main character in this book or should I say characters, are Candence Jones and her "sisters" as she likes to call them, Shiro and Adrienne. Actually they aren't her sisters at all but instead Candence has multiple personality disorder and these are her other personalities. Candence witnessed a severe trauma at the age of three that caused her to develop these additional personalities. Candence is a sweet demure girl, somewhat dense who thinks she is a virgin, even though her "sisters" often have her waking up in bed with strange men.

Candence and her "sisters" are agents for a special dept in the FBI called the BOFFO, this is a dept where all of the agents suffer from some sort of psychological disorder, I mean heck who better to catch a criminal that someone who suffers from the same issues as they do, yeah right! One of the conditions of employment for the people in BOFFO is that they have to see a psychiatrist weekly.

The agents are trying to find a serial killer nicknamed Threefer because he likes to kill in three's. Candence soon believes that the killer is trying to leave her a message through his victims. This story was so off the wall unbelievable it hooked me from the beginning, who could ever imagine a special dept in the FBI with agents that are certifiable, but allowed to carry firearms.

I enjoyed the transitioning between Candence and her personalities. It happens very quickly that often one of the personalities will start to say something and the other personality will show up so quick that the sentence is never finished. It really keeps you on your toes trying to keep them straight.

A quirky, off the wall premise, with a mystery, a little romance some sarcastic wit, and an interesting cast of characters that round out this entertaining read. I look forward to seeing what the author does with the next book in this series!
