Reviewer: Emma

Double Strike is the third novel in a series by Gretchen Archer. The main character, Davis is an undercover agent for a security team at the Bellissimo Resort. The story starts with Davis being woken up by news that the casino has been hit by lightning. Immediately the chaos begins – she has to stand in for her boss’ wife as her double, she finds trouble with their teenage son, she gets fired from her fake job at the casino and she discovers that she is still married to her ex-husband Eddie. The story follows Davis as she prepares for a huge event at the casino named the Strike It Rich Sweepstakes. She is hired to run the social media for event. And, the hashtags begin…

I hate giving bad reviews, but I couldn’t help myself with this book. After reading other reviews of this book before picking it up, I was so hopeful it would blow me away. This book, in my opinion, was terrible. The story line was sporadic and confusing. The jokes were mediocre, and the characters were underdeveloped. The author tagged many characters with nicknames that were not funny nor did they add any substance to the story. Also, the main character spoke in hashtags, which was very distracting to me.

I had a very difficult time reading this book – many of the pages I had to read more than once just so I understood what was going on. I was never hooked as a reader. This book has gained many great reviews from others; I am sorry to say it will not be obtaining one from me. I would not place my bet on this book.

I give this book one star out of five.
