Bingeable series: Real Estate Rescue

For this Friday’s post, I have the very definition of a bingeable series – as I read them back to back to back. I have reservations – which I will explain; but the fact remains that I read the lot

Our heroine is Flora, when we meet her she’s doing a job she hates and boyfriend has been cheating on her. So with the help of some cash from her aunt, she decides to change her life and become a house flipper instead. The house she buys is in a small town in Kentucky (hello 50 states challenge) and soon she’s making friends in her new home – but also stumbling over bodies left right and centre.

At which point we come to my first minor issue: the whole series covers the renovation of this one house. So that’s a lot of bodies in one small town in not a hugely long period. I’d you thought Jessica Fletcher had corpses following her around, she is nothing to Flora. And because each instalment is only 100 – 120 pages long, there is not a lot of complexity to the plot. If you think you know who did it quite early on, you’re probably right. And yet, as I said, I read the lot. There is just something about them that makes them slightly addictive. And they’re in kindle unlimited and so you just tap straight on to the next one. As a publishing model it’s pretty clever – and I fell for it hook line and sinker. I’m not proud of myself, but Patti Benning has other series so I’ll probably do it again.

I can’t however forgive her for the fact that despite using the same cover design for each book but with the house slowly getting renovated, I couldn’t get the scale to match to do a composite image for the main one on this post. I tried both ways too:

Have a great weekend.
