Kat Makris is an average young woman working as a customer service representative in Seattle. She has a weekly routine of having dinner with her widowed Greek father. Kat had always heard stories about her Greek heritage. One Sunday, when she goes to visit, her father is missing. A few days later, two cousins she never met kidnap her to Greece. She meets her relatives while trying to find her father. She discovers her father had a secret life before coming to America.

This was an excellent book. Kat's adventures from an average person to a member of a Greek crime family is a page Turner. The story has humor, possible romance and knowledge of Greek culture. It keeps you in suspense with a surprise ending. ( )

A really fun book, this had me laughing out loud all the way through.

When Katerina's father is kidnapped, a whole new world opens up to her. She discovers family she never knew about and a history that is more than a little surprising to her.

Peppered with Greek references that I didn't always understand, and pop culture references that I usually did, this book was really well written and smooth to read, really enjoyable.

*i received a copy of this book in exchange for a review. ( )

What a fun book! This book reminds me of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series or the Claire McNab Kylie Kendall series, part mystery part comedy. Kat learns that her family is part of the Greek Mafia, and her grandmother runs the show. Filled with unforgettable characters this book takes you on a wild ride to find Kat's father.

From crazy, obsessive ex girlfriends, henchmen who like to blow things up, a wordless bodyguard, a Grandmother who runs the family from her kitchen while making some delectable Greek meals, to the goat that shows up to eat the flowers and the gorgeous police officer who isn't sure if he should deport Kat, keep her close or seduce her, this book is nothing but fun.

I didn't have any expectations of this book but it looked interested when I requested a copy from the publisher, but I found that I couldn't put it down. Apparently there is a 2nd book that just came out and I am downloading it immediately! If you are looking for a fun summer read, look no further. ( )
