The problem is, when your life goes DEFCON 1, not everyone lives to tell about it. - DEFCON Darcy (The Darcy Walker Series #4) by A.J. Lape

From Goodreads: "I loved it...then it went kinda dark and edgy... really unexpected. It was so much MORE!! And even though all your questions are answered... your left waiting to see where's she going to take the story next, and I can't wait. Great Job A. J. Lape... that's how you keep people wanting more! Each book just keeps getting better."

Description:

Fisher Stanton, Valley High School’s Nantucket wannabe, has a cheating girlfriend. When he hires Darcy Walker to chase her to a local club, in true Darcy fashion she stumbles upon a dead body. Thing is, this body has secrets...and Darcy’s mysterious friend, Jaws, and the reporter, Tito Westbrook, have a vested interest. Both enlist Darcy to find the person responsible who has eluded them for years, but Darcy doesn’t solve crimes for free anymore--especially where Jaws is concerned. Knowing Darcy’s Achilles heel, Jaws blackmails Darcy into working for him.

In a true test of wills, Darcy and Jaws battle head-to-head—Jaws needs Darcy to help him end a bitter grudge war; Darcy needs Jaws to divulge the mystery surrounding her mother’s death. Haunted by a past that shaped her present, Darcy will stop at nothing to get answers. Even if it means breaking the law and being disloyal to her new boyfriend, Dylan Taylor, in the process.

DEFCON DARCY gives Darcy’s demons a name and ties up loose ends that made Darcy into the verb that she is. What she thinks she knows as truth, isn’t. What she wishes wasn’t true…is.

The problem is, when your life goes DEFCON 1, not everyone lives to tell about it.

This series is truly one of the best series I have read in my lifetime. The author seems to have poured her heart and soul into this book and after every book I always wonder how she could top the last. This book was no exception.
Honestly I am sitting here now, after reading it, and wondering what to do next. - Goodreads

My favorite female lead is smart, quick on her feet/easily adaptable, can think outside of the box, has that magnetism to be a great leader, and sticks to her guns no matter what. As an example, I *love* Amaranthe Lockdon from the Emperor's Edge series!
