So disappointing as I was looking forward to reading this.

This is my first book by this author and I enjoyed the story.  The author brings things up in it like raising awareness for issues like prejudice for native americans, human trafficking, prostitution and much more.  I enjoyed the mystery part of the book.  I wish the book would have held my attention a little better in some parts but overall it was not a bad read.  *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

Coyote is an earth mothers' delight. Taking place in the massive oil fields of modern day Montana and edging on the Blackfoot reservation, we have fracking, political corruption, human trafficking, illegal drug use and a tree hugger protest group stepping over into eco-terrorism.

I enjoyed Jessica James. It was interesting to see Ms. Oliver's ability to keep Jessica that important step away from the pain of the Redfox family, and the self control to keep from imploding into the mess she was faced with. I was very pleased to see that her judo wielding friend Lolita Durchenko of the lipstick red Harley appear to assist as the numbers of bad guys became overwhelming. And the help of Auntie Madge helped even things out, as well . Kimi and her sisters are very important to the tale, and also quite sympathetic. Altogether is novel was a fast read, a good story, and I am pleased to recommend to friends and family.

I received an invitation to review this book from Netgalley on December 19th but it was never available to download there. Intrigued by the title and description, I was able to ask for it at Kindle Unlimited at Amazon. I am grateful to Netgalley, Amazon, Kelly Oliver and Kaos Press for allowing me to read and review this novel.

This book has a great plot with characters that draw you in. Well written, you are getting drawn in to the life of a funny and tough heroine. I'm looking forward to reading more of the series.

Being home from summer break, Jessica is drawn into looking at the 'freak accidents' at the lumber mill when her cousin Mike complains to her about them and then is killed the next day. Her oddball friend Kimi Red Fox is trying to stop the Knight Industries from fracking on the reservation, plus she believes the Knight brothers are running a prostitution ring on the reservation. Things get personal and intense for Jessica and her whacking posse. The question is do they get their answers and will they be able to stop the powerful Knight brothers?

This is the first book I've read by Miss Oliver and I think it is a pretty good 3.5 star read. This mystery novel is fast-moving and a bit comical. A set of twisted events lead Jessica to look into the strange happenings at the saw mill where her beloved cousin, Mike, worked before his untimely death. Despite Coyote being over 300 pages it is a quick and quirky read that includes a lot of references to drinking and smoking pot. I appreciate the humor and witty descriptions throughout the publication, but more importantly I respect that the book touches on real life serious issues such as sex trafficking, prostitution, and fracking. Although I personally am not thrilled enough to be picking up another Jessica James’ mystery I do encourage everyone to give Kelly Oliver’s manuscripts a try. I received a complimentary copy from Kaos Press and NetGalley. That did not change my opinion for this review.

A good plot and well written story that starts out very well, but then goes over the top with what happens in bars and other improbabilities. The book is saved by great characters, and is a good enough read with a lot of action.
