A long-buried secret that was never meant to be uncovered could suddenly put a target on both Detective Mark Friessen and Billy Jo McCabe.
Twenty-five years ago, Billy Jo was born to a meth addict and spent her first few months being weaned off the drug. Labeled a difficult baby, she was bounced from foster home to foster home. Later, she was called trouble, a runner, and was accused of starting fires and stealing. She pulled a knife on one foster brother and threatened to bash in the head of another, then spent time in jail by the age of 15. That was before she pulled a gun at a gas station and was adopted by Chase McCabe. Her file was then sealed.
However, Billy Jo feels growing resentment for the woman responsible for her first 15 years of hell, the one who tossed her away as if she were garbage. That has her seeking out leads as to where her real mother is, her last known whereabouts based on the sealed file she isn’t technically supposed to access. But following the rules is not something Billy Jo is known for, especially not when she’s playing amateur detective, asking about a woman who evidently doesn’t want to be found.
Before long, Detective Mark Friessen shows up on her doorstep after someone files a complaint against her, warning her about harassing the locals. But then, Billy Jo finds herself terrorized by someone determined to stop her from uncovering the truth.
Trusting anyone in her search could come at a cost, as Billy Jo soon learns that when her mother disappeared, she took with her a secret that someone doesn’t want unearthed. Ultimately, her quest for answers puts a target on her that could see her killed, and that leaves Billy Jo once again forced to trust Mark, a man she will likely always be at odds with.

When I requested this book, I didn't realize that it was book 2 of a series, and I haven't read book 1.
This is a short story about an adopted woman trying to confront her birth mother. The story hints a lager world, but it only ever hints at it, without developing it anything further.
The story is a little frustrating at times, with the entitlement of the title character (Billy Jo) and her treatment of the police officer that fills the second lead role. The story suggests that this treatment is justified, but nothing in the story explains it. It may have been explained in the previous book, but it never comes up in this story.
The story itself is light on actual world building, but heavy on emotional depth. It being so short, it's surprising how much I cared about the events of the story. However, I never really I had a clear picture of the main characters or their motivations (other than skin deep and stated motivations). This isn't completely odd, in a short story, but I feel that this could have been expanded on, as well as pertinent events of book 1, without too much trouble.
The voice narration, by Leo Jones, is well done. He has a decent range of male voices and has a passable female voice. Overall, he does a pretty good job.
All in all, this is a good story. Voice narration is well done and the story is compelling. It has emotional depth and likeable characters. However, the story lacks background and the world building that would make it great.
I will continue this story, if I get the chance.
Interesting story, but world building lacking

Leo Jones continues his narration of the series. I am enjoying his voice and his ability to bring out the suspense. This one has a lot of emotionally compelling elements as well, and he pulls it all together, letting us feel frustation and horror. He truly brings it all out and gives us a fantastic performance.

I remember the book just being okay. I also felt there should have been some [more] backstory for those readers who hadn't read the first book in this series. For example, the relationship between Billy Jo and the police officer/detective (I forgot his name). She didn't like him for some unknown reason that happened in book 1, but it's never revealed in this book what that reason was. I wish I could remember what I had typed up but I have a horrible memory.
The narrator did an okay job as well.
I received a free audiobook code in exchange for an honest review.
I needed more backstory.
