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

Quick read great enjoyment
Poor Shelby can’t keep her mouth shut when she is a victim of a robber’s gun shot and has a new power to read others ‘ minds You can imagine if you suddenly had that power others would like to use it to their benefit. This book was a good read. No regrets.
If you like a touch of humor and a bit of supernatural power in your crime stories, this may divert you. It is lightweight, kind of like an Evanovich book, but it is definitely diverting. One could wish for a touch more character development, but this is a bonbon rather than a steak dinner kind of book.
A rather unbelievable plot.
I liked the idea of an accidental mind reader.The book was entertaining and kept my interest. Shelby was very entertaining and real. I will get the 2nd book
Interesting concept but implausible.
It grabbed me from the start and I read late into the night to get to the end. When a book surprises you like that, it’s a great read.
A funny un-likey situation gets crazier with every page you turn.
Somewhat predictable murder mystery with a twist of paranormal thrown in. That being said, characters were likable and it was a fun read… nothing heavy, good beach book
Hard to keep up with the twists and turns……
What a fun read! Lots more interesting books follow in the series, as well. This was a good walking book; really kept my attention and the time passed so fast that I hated having to turn off the story and wait until the next walking day. I passed it on to my daughter and wouldn’t hesitate to pass it on to my granddaughter or my mom. It was …
A quick-moving plot centered around the protagonist’s new acquired ability to read minds. It bothered me, however, when she listened to one man’s thoughts and saw what was happening during a pivotal scene. Where did that ability come from except to be used as a ploy to explain her actions later on?
A good rainy day, curl up with a good book, kind of read.
This was an easy read— couldn’t put it down
Having grown up in Philadelphia it was like I was visiting South Philly during Mob rule
Would definitely read more of this series
It was a laugh out loud mystery and. Love her characters!!!!!
Really great book, enjoyed it immensely.
Loved this book. Kept me reading until the end. Great twists and turns!
The plot was very fast-moving and witty. The situations were believable even though they were comical. Don’t know how the author managed to keep the story so clear with so much going on, but I was never lost. Definitely a fantastic, enjoyable read. Reminded me of the movie True Lies. Well done.

A truly fun read with a lot of ‘foot in mouth’ will get you into a heap of trouble… all starting with being in the wrong place at the right time.
There is love, but it isn’t really a romance story… there is mystery or suspense but I …
At first I was going to give this 4-Stars, thinking it was more like 4 1/2, but then I realized that I really did enjoy reading it so I decided, what the heck, I’m giving it 5-Stars instead! Now that that’s settled I’ll tell you that I truly did love this story. I felt it was an unique (for me, anyway) story idea, yet I had no trouble buying into …
Will read this author again.
