of fun to read.”—Chicago Sun Times
“Kozak engages the emotions–one minute she sends fissions of fear
up your spine, and the next, she tickles your funny bone.”—Library
Journal
“Sharp and witty, but heartfelt.”— Kirkus Review
“Kozak keeps the laughs and chills in bewitching
balance.”—Publishers Weekly
Wollie Shelley-reluctant dating expert, graphic artist and fledgling spy-goes undercover for the FBI to investigate MediasRex, a California media training company, in Kozak's wild fourth caper (after 2007's Dead Ex). The company's owner, Yuri Milos, hires Wollie to be a social coach and dating surrogate for such clients as clownish Zbiggo Shpek, a Moldovan heavyweight boxer. Wollie's FBI agent boyfriend, Simon Alexander, is alarmed, even if her three-month gig will pay $50,000, since Yuri has dangerous Eastern European political connections. Inside MediasRex's Calabasas compound, Wollie learns that the previous dating coach, Chai, a former America's Next Top Model contender, was killed in a car accident, though Chai's boyfriend insists she was murdered. Kozak keeps the laughs and chills in bewitching balance as Wollie uncovers the secrets of Yuri's extended family-and suffers a first-time dating consequence in the surprising denouement. (Mar.)
