Promise you won’t tell? By: John Locke (writing as Dani Ripper)

“I think something might have happened to me Saturday night. Something bad.” Private Investigator Dani Ripper’s client list is nuttier than the Looney Tunes conga line, but she diligently solves one crazy case after another, waiting for a game-changer. Enter Riley Freeman, 17-year-old honor student. Saturday afternoon Riley quietly placed a little strawberry sticker on her private area and pretended it was a tattoo. She didn’t tell anyone about it. That night she went to a slumber party that featured drinking and boys. Riley fell asleep, woke up the next day with no reason to think anything happened… …Until Monday, at school, when a classmate called her Strawberry.

Why I chose this book to read: Admittedly, I came across this book while looking through free ebooks. My boyfriend expressed an interest in wanting to start reading books together and we decided free ninety-nine was right in our budget. No, this was not the book we ended up reading together (we found a novella that had his name in the title and went for that instead as our first pick), but I felt compelled to put it on my phone for a later day. That later day came at the gym (where I now do some of my best reading). I wasn’t sure I liked the casual writing style of the book  at first (although it is true to the character narrating the story), but I quickly found myself drawn in and wanting to know what really happened to Riley Freeman. I can say this much about it: you don’t see the truth coming. That being said, I’m adding the first book of the series (written by Dani Ripper and John Locke), Call Me!, to my reading list.
