Super funny and a big pleasure to read this shorty book!

entertaining, quick read, laugh-out-loud funny. I couldn't put it down and read it straight through!

This book was so bad is actually funny...
The main idea is based on a TV show I have no idea what is about but while I was reading I got the mix feelings of The Godfather and Robin Hood.
The is this (what I believe) a grandma how decides to create a Team of vigilantes, to do good to those who need it, obviously is a business so they charge but they are cheaper that lawyers and detectives.
I will base my dislike only on Kitty, the grandma. She is so active, she has businesses but she wanted to do something else with her life and she just get whatever business she wants just because, so obviously this 'Team' is not necessarily to earn money but to do revenge, a little too late. Even though is fiction this character is unreal. Did I mention they are Italian?
For me is a story based on two good classics merged. The lack of creativity is disappointing. I didn't invested in this book a lot of time but is not worth it.

I was not sure at first how much I would enjoy this book but I was delightfully surprised. Del and her great aunt KItty are modern day Robin Hoods trying to undo wrongs when someone who did not deserve it was shafted by someone else. They are into justice when Del is not running an animal shelter in Hamilton Ontario. Her office mate is a cat named Pepe Le Pew for obvious reasons so you have to love her.
They steal a diamond necklace for a woman who says it was a family heirloom she lost in a bitter divorce. Kitty and Del’s sense of outrage is turned upside down when they discover they have been scammed by a con woman who has no right to the necklace. NOw they are determined to right the wrong they did and teach the con woman a lesson.
It is a fun book, very light and frothy, with lots of references to places my parents know well.
I give it four purrs and two paws up.

A very entertaining, fast paced and well written books. I really enjoyed.
I look forward to reading other books written by this author.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Orca Book Publishers

Del and her extended family live on the shady side of the law. Her great-aunt Kitty has semi-reformed in her old age, dedicating herself to vigilante justice. Inspired by the 1980s TV series The A-Team, Kitty has recruited Del and other relatives to form the B-Team. Their current mission is to help a woman who left a cheating husband by stealing her diamond necklace from her former home and her husband's new girlfriend. Things don't go exactly as planned...

3 short stars 🌟🌟🌟

I guess this is classified as a rapid read and indeed it was that.... and while I would have really appreciated this in high school and college as assigned reading... it made it hard to really get into.... hard for much character development when the book is this short....

I thought based on the title of this book it would be funny, unfortunately that wasn’t the case.... it was about Del a girl who works at an animal shelter by day and helps bring justice to those who have been wronged by night.... and oh yeah she has ties to the mob.... I really needed more angry first wife and less mob!

Del and her aunt really had potential to be interesting characters, but the book was too short for that.... The plot really didn’t draw me in either... I just felt as though a lot was thrown in, the animal shelter, the mob, the love interest.....

I’d recommend this if you want a really quick read, perhaps to pass the time in a doctors waiting room....

A fun short story. I was bummed when the book ended. I want more!

Great-aunt Kitty wants her niece Del to run a vigilante team that helps seniors who are getting scammed. The team includes Kitty, Del, Dino, Del’s brother Dino, and Del’s friend Ritz, an ops expert. The case in this adventure is about a first wife whose husband kept an expensive heirloom necklace from her family after the divorce. She approached Kitty to help her retrieve it – somewhat surreptitiously.

The premise behind this story is interesting yet not fully realized. The book is a very quick read, the plot line works and the dialogue realistic for the context of the book. I enjoyed the read, it’s fun and light. But I also wished there had been more…

Fun and quick read. The B-Team, named after the 1980's TV show, The A-Team, is made up of Auty Kitty, Del, Dino, and Ritz (like the cracker). They are vigilantes who do crimes to help those in need. In this story, they are stealing back an heirloom necklace for the ex-wife of a remarried rich man. Things are not what they seem and Del has to figure out the truth and make things right. Unfortunately, this quick read was, in my opinion, too quick. I would have liked to know more about the characters and the mystery could have been more involved. I just checked Amazon and it is listed as a "Rapid Read." It surely lives up to the term.
