Brody Ellis is short on luck and even shorter on cash to buy the medication his sister Molly needs. Desperate, he robs a convenience store, but on the way out, he bumps into a young woman and loses his wallet. Just when he expects the cops to arrive, the phone rings. Its Blair Mayothe woman he bumped intoand shes got the missing billfold. Brody will get it back, but only if he does her a favor: steal her late mothers diamonds from her wicked stepmom. But when he gets to the house, he finds a gruesome crime sceneand a security camera. Brody knows hes been framed. Back home, the terrified young man gets another call. The police wont get the incriminating video footage, Blair says. Instead, her daddy, the notorious mobster Jimmy Latzo, will exact his own kind of revenge. Brody and Molly realize that theyve become pawns in a mysterious gameone that involves a notorious enforcer named Lola Bear who brutally crossed paths with Jimmy Latzo twenty-six years before. . . a ghost from the past who is intimately connected to their lives.

This book was excellent. Fast paced, great character and story development, and the last 50 pages kicked my whole entire ass 🤣 I couldn't put it down. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lola on Fire had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. There is so much action in this book. I really enjoyed the story and liked how it was mainly action but there was also family drama mixed in. I liked the characters. Brody is trying to do the best he can.

Thank you Harper Audio, William Morrow and NetGalley for Lola on Fire.
