High Stakes Crime

A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Shelby Nichols Adventure, Book 15)

By: Colleen Helme

Narrated by: Wendy Tremont King

Crime, high-stakes poker, and a hidden treasure. Will Shelby survive her most challenging adventure yet?

Mind reader Shelby Nichols is determined to take charge of her own destiny, but even the best laid plans are no match for the high-stakes crime involving a mob boss and his enemies. A simple visit with a nosy reporter leads her to a story with a strong link to her past that she is unable to resist.

Uncle Joey is depending on her unique talents to win a poker tournament, and a simple request from Detective Harris may end up costing her life. Now, Shelby is in deep trouble all over again. This time, her only way out is with a lot of help - but will it be enough?

Gold Fever

Great book, High stakes poker player/miner/looking for murderer. Can't wait for next adventure. Narrator is great.

More Shelby fun

I enjoy all the Shelby series. they are always entertaining. She gets better every book. she grows and is never exactly the same. I like that in a character.

Perfect Colleen Helme!

This was so great book also keeps you going as you wish. She was inside hammered with Ramos, such a fun book

Another winner!

The plot had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing and the performance was great! I heartily recommend this latest installment in the Shelby Nichols adventure series.

Hooked

I have loved each and every book since the first . thank you for the quirky Shelby

Best series

This is one of the best series. I’m always on the look out for the next book. It’s funny and suspenseful. I like how it’s not so “Crauch Novelly” there isn’t any sex scenes which is ok. Narration is great also. The relationship Shelby has with all of them is so loving and makes you feel good. It
defiantly a feel good book. Ramos and Shelby’s relationship is one of the best. You can tell they really love each other but they never cross that line because they do. When they mess with each other is awesome also.

Another Amazing Book!!!

I can't tell you how much I love this series! Shelby Nichols is so adorable, she's sweet, smart and so loveable! Everyone who meets her feels that way..... unless you're a bad guy! 😆 I'm not sure how Colleen Helme has done it, but as this story shows, everyone loves Shelby! I fell really invested in all the main characters, they're all perfect accessories to Shelby....even her dog!!!! It's great when past characters pop up as well, warms my heart! Wendy Tremont King's narration is beyond fantastic. I hear her voices for the characters even if I'm reading the book vs. listening, they're that spot on!!! Thank you for this wonderful book, and of course, can't wait for the next one!!! ❤❤❤

Extra drama in store

Typically Shelby gets herself in a bit of a pickle and this book is no exception - except she manages multiple near death attempts in this new book. Colleen did a great job stirring up trouble and making the crazy storyline fit together perfectly. Who knew one could go from a poker tournament to prospecting in a matter of days?! Another great read in the series and now I’m stuck waiting until the next book… 😭 Keep em’ coming Colleen (pretty please? 🥰)

I always look forward to new books in this series!

Colleen Helm is one of those authors who consistently writes books you can count on. Always a solid story with everything you look for in a cozy mystery. This is the 15th book in the series and although it can be listened to as a standalone I would suggest listening to the series in order. There are growing relationships and character development so important to the series that would be missed if you were to pick up a book in the middle of the series. If you’re not going to go back and listen to all, at the very least pick up book one (CARROTS.) or you will be totally lost.
Once again Shelby is involved in multiple cases, each one could be deadly if not for her abilities and Ramos. Even with that she still has a close call, or should I say another close call that brings her even closer to the edge then she’s been before, only this time it’s Cocoa to her rescue.
Wendy Tremont King as always does a fabulous job narrating. She is the voice of Shelby and I hope this never changes.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Loved it

I always enjoy discovering what mischief Shelby Nichols can cause in all her adventures. I can’t wait to find out what lies ahead for Shelby. Wendy Tremont King, as always, gave a stellar performance as she brought it all together and gave it life.
