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

The Shelby Nichols series is one that I’ve had my eye on since I featured one of the books on my blog. I was lucky enough to get the eBook Carrots, the first book in the series, for free when it was offered and then I was even more lucky to log onto my Audible app one day and be offered any free audiobook I wanted, so I grabbed Carrots for that …
Lots of fun!
This is a light hearted book that has enough going on to keep you busy. A good read after reading heavier books that task the mind.
Lots of humor and self-deprecation in this quick read. I enjoyed it, but’s it’s not for everyone.
I ended up purchasing all of the sequels. I fell for the characters in this book hard! It is an easy read, no “great work of fiction” but boy is it FUN! I would keep reading sequels forever!
Fascinating! Very interesting and thought provoking. Awesome read.
It started out pretty interesting but I soon got bored with it and couldn’t finish it.
The start of a fun series. Good for the road.
A good plot fun to read look forward to others like it
I enjoyed this book. Characters were dimensional and seemed “real” The book was a fun read it had a couple of twists and turns which made you want to keep turning the pages.
Love the concept and the execution.
Can’t wait to read more by this author.
Great mystery. Had me laughing out loud at times.
Very light reading
Great read! Would be a great movie
Um, I didn’t really like it & struggled to finish it. I just couldn’t believe the world/characters.
I very rarely quit a book but I couldn’t get thgeough the first chapter.
I like the premise of the woman hearing people’s thoughts and trying not to.
I look forward to more adventures.
It was a bit predictable but otherwise a good read.
After I read Carrots I raided my library for the next five in the series. Even willing to pay for the newest. The female lead in the series gets in so much trouble at one time it seems not possible and yet you see just how she got in that fix. The author does a pitch perfect job at painting her young mind. What would you do if you could …
Couldn’t put it down! Looking forward to next book.
