“Dead: Nicki Sosebee #2” by Jade C. Jamison5 out of 5 starsHas Nicki gotten in over her head?  That’s the question in “Dead”, the second book in the Nicki Sosebee series.  Used to sitting in a courtroom waiting for her instincts to let her know where there’s a good story, she’s a little bit irritated at having to interview Commissioner Jeffrey Cannon.  It only makes matters worse when his assistant, Sara, turns out to be a not so pleasant blast from her high school past.  Nicki decides to give Cannon the benefit of the doubt but soon realizes he’s no different than the typical politician cliché.  What follows leads her into a homicide investigation that has her putting her life on the line to get her story!I enjoyed the action and the pace of the story.  Nicki continues to pull me in with her confidence and honesty.  She’s a refreshing change of pace in a market flooded with wimpy female protagonists.  However, I was disappointed with Sean here.  It’s becoming more apparent that he has feelings for Nicki but he refuses to acknowledge them and it seems as though he is leading her on…whether intentional or not.  I didn’t like the mixed signals he was sending out because it makes him appear unworthy of her affections.  I’m ready for him to own up to his true desires.Despite Sean’s indecision, Nicki wastes no time in securing another partner for some casual sex.  Ian is likeable enough and he gives her a much needed confidence boost.  The true potential love interest here is Jesse.  He comes onto the scene completely unexpected but presents Nicki with another option for her heart.  I like how mellow he is and even though I like Sean (usually) I found myself rooting for him to get his chance.  I can’t wait to read the next book and see if Nicki will open the door to new possibilities with Jesse.Overall, Jamison continues to keep me hooked.  As one book ends I’m already flipping the page to start the next one.  There is uniqueness and realism in her writing I find quite enjoyable.  Once again, I can’t wait to move on to the next book and whatever madcap adventure Nicki will tackle next!  I definitely recommend this book!*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
