\"defcon<\/a><\/p>\n

Fisher Stanton, Valley High School\u2019s Nantucket wannabe, has a cheating girlfriend. When he hires Darcy Walker to chase her to a local club, in true Darcy fashion she stumbles upon a dead body. Thing is, this body has secrets…and Darcy\u2019s mysterious friend, Jaws, and the reporter, Tito Westbrook, have a vested interest. Both enlist Darcy to find the person responsible who has eluded them for years, but Darcy doesn\u2019t solve crimes for free anymore, especially where Jaws is concerned. Knowing Darcy\u2019s Achilles heel, Jaws blackmails Darcy into working for him.<\/p>\n

In a true test of wills, Darcy and Jaws battle head-to-head to see who can outsmart the other\u2014Jaws needs Darcy to help him end a bitter grudge war; Darcy needs Jaws to divulge the mystery surrounding her mother\u2019s death. Haunted by a past that shaped her present, Darcy will stop at nothing to get answers. Even if it means breaking the law and being disloyal to her new boyfriend, Dylan Taylor, in the process.<\/p>\n

DEFCON DARCY gives Darcy\u2019s demons a name and ties up loose ends that made Darcy into the verb that she is. What she thinks she knows as truth, isn\u2019t. What she wishes wasn\u2019t true\u2026is.<\/p>\n

The problem is, when your life goes DEFCON 1, not everyone lives to tell about it.<\/p>\n

===========================
\nSometimes I think that books come in and across my desk in groups. Sometimes, it’s cookbook, other times it’s fantasy and right now, there seems to be quite a few in the young adult category. When I started reading this series (this is book 3), I wasn’t sure what to expect. You have a teenager girl who seems to manage to get into all sorts of trouble without even meaning to. The books are filled with pretty much every type of person that you have ever met and your feelings regarding them may change as the books progress. I know that mine did. I would say that I would suggest these books to my boys, but they’re still in that weird “omg, the main character is a girl, no way” stage. I don’t get it, but I’m not a boy either.<\/p>\n
