BAD SPIRITS Books 1-5 is the first novella in the Kate Jones Thriller Series.
Kate Jones is on the run with a backpack full of money, intent on finding her way back to the United States from Mexico. Unfortunately, a ruthless drug lord named Salazar is just as intent on finding her, retrieving his stolen money, and making her pay for ever having left him. Is there anyone she can trust?
Originally published as a serial chronicling Kate Jones' race through Mexico, Bad Spirits is a fast-paced, action-packed novella. Just when you think Kate's escaped one impossible dilemma, she's thrown into another perilous situation. Can she survive long enough to make it out alive?
"...DV Berkom’s Bad Spirits is a fast paced action packed novella which reads like a nonstop high octane movie. Each chapter moves at breakneck speed. The heroine, Kate, barely has time to take a breather before finding herself in another impossible situation and back on the run..." Todd Fonseca, Goodreads
"...Bad Spirits takes place in Mexico with Kate trying to escape a well-known and menacing drug lord. The fact that she lightened his money stash is an even better reason to get out of the country. You won't be disappointed in the read, but you will be hungering for more..."-Ginger Simpson, Examiner E-Books Reviewer
"...D.V. Berkom spins a web of intrigue and adventure in this story, and I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read more!" Dawn Luedecke, Atlantic City Books Examiner
"Fresh out of college and on her way to a well-planned career, Kate and her friends take a vacation to Mexico to celebrate the end of school and the beginning of a new life.
Kate meets a handsome man who sweeps her off her feet and a happily-ever-after is in progress until she discovers, too late, that he’s a drug lord with a very long reach indeed.
The story begins with Kate’s escape from her unintended prison. She’s taken his money, almost as an afterthought, and a lot of it. She’s thirsty, she’s on foot, and she’s got a heavy backpack full of cash.
Kate may have been naïve about men, but she’s a survivor and she takes you on a cross-country run for her life over Mexico. Just when you think she’s out of the fix, here comes another scene gunning at her ankles and sending her onwards again.
I must admit to now being seriously addicted to the non-stop action that DV Berkom takes you through page after page. A who’s-around-the-corner with twists and turns that keep those pages flying by well into the night.
Flawlessly written and an author I’m going to have on my bookshelves from now on." -ZenCherry Blogger/Reviewer
