Don't Let the Devil Ride by Ace Atkins


Title 

Don't Let the Devil Ride 

Author 

Ace Atkins

Synopsis 

Addison McKellar isn't clueless - she knows she and her husband Dean don't have the perfect marriage - but she's still shocked when he completely vanishes from her life. At first Addison is annoyed, but as days stretch into a week and she's repeatedly stonewalled by Dean's friends and associates, her frustration turns into genuine alarm. When even the police seem dismissive of her concerns, Addison turns to an old friend of her father's, legendary Memphis PI Porter Hayes.

Porter and Addison begin to dig deeper into Dean's affairs and quickly discover that he was never the hardworking business owner and family man he pretended to be. As they piece together the connections between a hook- handed mercenary, one of Elvis's former leading ladies, and a man posing as an FBI agent, it becomes clear that Dean was deeply enmeshed in a high- stakes web of international intrigue, and Porter and Addison aren't the only ones looking for him. Dean angered some very dangerous people before he disappeared - people who have already killed to get what they want - and they won't hesitate to come after his family to even the score.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Favorite character: Porter Hayes


Give me a Southern Setting, charismatic characters, mystery, and intrigue and I'm in for the ride.

Honestly there were so many characters introduced in the beginning of this book I wasn't sure I would be able to keep up with them all . Typically I binge read books but this book was too complex for me to speed read.


 I spent several days reading and although there were some characters I could have done without simply because I didn't like them ( kudos to the author for being able to make me hate a fictional character on a piece of paper by the way). 


I found myself counting down to the chapters that focused on Porter Hayes.  I would love to see an entire series dedicated to the character Porter Hayes.


I loved the plot of the story and it had a nice steady pace throughout the entire book. If you are looking for mystery and intrigue this is definitely the book for you.

Behind the Scenes: A Typical Day For A Content Creator

Good morning and welcome back to the blog. Today I will give you the rundown on a typical day in my life as a blogger. One very important thing to mention is that my blogging schedule consists of working three days a week. I have been blogging for 10+ years now. When I originally started blogging I worked seven days a week, however, over the years I have narrowed the work week down to only three days and it works well for me. The most important thing I can teach you is to find a schedule and a system that works for you. Are you ready for a typical day in my life as a blogger? Here we go! Emails  My least favorite part but definitely a necessity. I always start the day going through emails, responding to PR Companies that have reached out to let them know if I'm interested in a collaboration.  Interact with Followers  I love hopping on my socials and checking in with my followers first thing in the morning. Interacting with followers is probably my favorite part of bloggin...
