Stopping at the grocery store for some carrots shouldn’t be dangerous, but in Shelby’s case, 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 crazy 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.

Carrots: A Shelby Nichols Adventure is in the same shelf as Stephanie Plum and Betsy Taylor in terms of comedy and hilarity. I love chic-lit plied with mystery and Colleen Helme did not disappoint! Loved it! ~Braine – Talk Supe: A Pop Fiction Book Blog

Slow and predictable
This is one of my favorite indie series. I started with book one and quickly read through all the books that were out at the time. Now I devour them as soon as they come out. I’m currently reading book 12. Great fun.
Not at all what I expected. Bit quirky and fun. Kept me interested to the end.
I loved that everything happened because of a simple, usually inconsequential decision. We make SO many little decisions, only focusing on the big ones. But it is the little ones that really decide our life path because there are SO many of them.
Colleen Helme uses first person narrative to tell the zany adventures of Shelby Nichols’ adventures which begin with a trip to the grocery store. The story is fast-paced with lots of action, and is set in a small town in the present day. She uses descriptive language to give her characters life. This book is funny.
Wow, one of my favorites !
I laughed so hard the first time I read this and have read all the books in the series too. It’s nothing one would take seriously but it is fun to read.
I was drawn to this book because of the title and the cover art. It intrigued me, and after reading the synopsis, I thought I would give it a go. And I am so glad I did. This is a fabulous beginning to the Shelby Nichols Mystery series!
The one ability I would never want would be to read people’s minds, but Shelby copes the best she can, and …
Cute book, part of a series
loved how the person in the book got so mixed up in the life of crime and got out solving the case
to me it was one of those–carrots–redhead-(maybe). Carrots are cute as babies and exquisite in other recipes too. Felt like a “I’mnotsupersmart”
What a ride. Great characters, great story, thrilling, suspenseful, scary, romantic and fast paced. Got the rest of the series because I enjoyed the writing so much. You are an excellent story teller.
Here is a woman who develops a special talent for reading others thoughts. This can be disconcerting to her friends and family. I can see where she must hone ha
er new talent to keep her secret. As the main character learned early on after receiving her mind reading talent, there are individuals who will take advantage of her abilities unless …
Imagine a totally normal life filled with humdrum daily tasks and errands… and one of them spins your life completely out of control. The main character was inspirationally funny and creative. Her supporting cast unpredictable. Hope one of your simple day-to-day tasks does not go south like hers. Looking forward to more – a series? and this …
Couldn’t finish it.
I enjoyed the characters and the story twists. Already read the next one.
Funny little story which I enjoyed reading.
I did race through this book because I wanted to find out everything almost before it happened. I’ll watch for a sequel.
Great
This book was so unbelievable as a murder mystery that I couldn’t wait to finish it and chalk it up to a disappointing read!
