This is a KU book loosely using The Wizard of Oz for its characters and some plot devices; this IS NOT a retelling.

There is an undercover cop, a drug cartel leader and his daughters, drugs, patricide [killing of a father], and sororicide [killing of a sister].

On the spice scale: 2 chili peppers, maybe. There's a pretty wicked scene involving a gun and poetry...

This is a pretty basic undercover cop falls for bad guy story - and while the author says that the bad guys are really bad, in the end, the main bad girl is redeemed and there's a HEA.

This is the third in this series/trilogy/whatever. I don't think I'll continue if there are more, they aren't really interesting and the plots are lacking in something that I can't put my finger on.
