Kandi Cain inherited her Dr. Doolittle abilities from her grandmother and became a psychic pet detective. To her dismay, she just acquired the power to communicate with the spirit world, but dead people give her the willies. Just when Kandi thought her life couldn’t get more complicated, the neighbor from hell moved in next door. The nasty guy’s name is Dutch Callaghan. How can someone so … so gorgeous be such a dick? Kandi could chalk some of it up to his job. Dutch is a Phoenix PD homicide cop.
Kandi’s current case is rescuing a Yorkie from a brutal dog fighting ring. Little does she know her dog napping suspect is involved in a series of brutal murders. Disguised as an elderly nun, Kandi rescues the Yorkie and, in the process, blows the hell out of Dutch’s undercover operation.
Kandi now finds herself a person of interest in her client’s murder and her sexy-as-hell, pain-in-the-butt neighbor is in hot pursuit of the Ninja Nun. Is Dutch about to slap the cuffs on? Only time will tell.

Who is that Ninja Nun
I love this book! With nothing more than her wit, her friends and a flock of birds this daring Dr Doolittle Is up for any challenge. The author created this fantastic story with a family that may be a little quirky, but they love each other hard. Sometimes a little too hard, and the mom has an unsettling obsession with Christmas, but the author works all of that to her advantage and has brought us a book full of action, adventure and laughs. I can’t wait to see what happens with these guys next. I’m sure it’s going to be a wild ride.
This book almost got a 4 star rating, but it was just too good! The lower rating? It’s a HFN (happy for now) instead of an HEA. But Ms Gail writes so well, I couldn’t give it anything but a 5 star! Snarky, take no prisoners heroine meets Alpha-personality hero who thinks he’s the bomb about his job… Trust me when I say it’s worth a read and I can’t wait for the next book!
Looking for a fun adventure?
I’ve read several of Gail’s books, and they all have just such a fun tone to them.
Don’t get me wrong, these aren’t carefree-froo-froo books. Nope. Gail clearly brings her experience as a 911 operator into her stories with enough action and graphic details to have you doing a double-take, especially in this story!
This book had me laughing out loud at one sentence and gasping in shock at the next. The Happy For Now ending left the book open for Book 2, and I can’t wait to see where Kandi’s adventures take her!
(I was given a copy of this book in consideration of my honest thoughts)
A psychic pet detective is all about saving the animals and causing a certain arrogant, cocky homicide detective grief. Shenanigans is zany, sexy, and a rollicking good time on the streets of Phoenix.
Kandi Cain (oh yes, she’s heard it before) had an unconventional childhood to say the least. Daughter of a woman obsessed with Christmas and a man who was once a mob enforcer, blessed with the psychic gift that allows her to understand, control, and speak to animals. Kandi naturally skipped out of her Always Christmas and always matchmaking home to take over her grandmother’s pet detective agency. She’s good-hearted and has a sense of justice, but there’s a touch of larceny in her, too.
I had a great time with this one. I was just planning to read a few pages and go back to my regularly scheduled reading, but… Silly me! I get such a kick out of this author’s books. They are laugh out loud hilarious and just fun. I loved Kandi, Dutch the hot detective next door, Kandi’s best friend who’s a mortician, her animal rights friends, her wacky yet lovable parents, and the shadow CIA agent Samuels.
The animals are a crack up in the way she uses them to help against the bad guys and sweet like little Tinkerbell who mourns her first pet mama and latches onto Kandi. I liked how there was some animal rescue situations sprinkled in with the grittier Mexican gang- cage fight- dog fight ring stuff.
A great start to a new series that I think those who enjoy paranormal elements, a bit of romance spice, and exciting action-comedy. Can’t wait to see what comes next for Kandi and the gang.
Shenanigans might be putting it a bit mildly!
Kandi was such a fun female lead.
Witty – intelligent – driven – psychic
Dutch starts out a bit of a horse’s backside bit eventually he finds the old adage ” if you can’t beat em join em” might just be the words of wisdom that keep him from the emergency room
The story line is easy to follow it is a bit of far fetched fun-filled with well-written characters that I easily found myself attached to. We get a peek inside Kandi’s thoughts as she negotiates the streets seeking to save the critters, catch the culprit all while trying to avoid ending up behind bars.
The supporting cast is such an eclectic mix of personalities, each adding their own flavor to the overall “fun” feel of the story.
If you are looking for a fun read packed with witty characters – snort out loud circumstances and off the chart beyond the norm antics this is it. I will warn you if reading in public be prepared
I was waiting in radiology and every minute or so I was lol’ ing
I am lucky they didn’t transport me to the psych ward.
