Carrots (Shelby Nichols #1) 
USA TODAY and Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Colleen Helme offers a clever mix of mystery, laugh-out-loud humor, and page-turning adventure in the highly acclaimed Shelby Nichols Adventure Series.
Stopping at the grocery store for some carrots shouldn't be dangerous, but in Shelby's case, it changes her life forever. During a bank robbery, she is caught in the cross-fire and grazed by a bullet to the head, leaving her with the crazy ability to read minds. Not only is she hearing what everyone thinks about her, but the gunman who shot her is out to silence her forever. In her fight to stay alive she is saved from certain death by a handsome hit-man with ties to organized crime. This pulls Shelby even deeper into danger, where knowing someone's thoughts can not only hurt her feelings, but get her killed.

Carrots: A Shelby Nichols Adventure is in the same shelf as Stephanie Plum and Betsy Taylor in terms of comedy and hilarity. I love chic-lit plied with mystery and Colleen Helme did not disappoint! Loved it! Braine - Talk Supe: A Pop Fiction Book Blog
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy a nice, light mystery with hilarious drama. I can't wait to read more from this author. Sizzle & Swoon Book Reviews
I adored this book. Colleen Helme knows how to combine humor, mystery, and wit, and serve it up on silver platter! After Dark Rendezvous
Perfect for fans of Jana DeLeon, Janet Evanovich, Charlaine Harris, and Denise Grover Swank.
A Book you Won't Put DownI started reading this book, and I could not put it down. It was a cross between Stephanie Plum and Rose Gardner. If you read this genre you will know who I mean. It's funny, unusual and thrilling all at the same time. An ordinary woman, a robbery, a gun shot in the head and an extraordinary character is created, Shelby Nichols. The situations these circumstances create are what makes this book so good. Pick it up and, while, you are at it..get the rest of the series, I
3,5/5 starsEnglish Review This story could be referenced as a cozy mystery (light reading and humor) and a thriller (very serious) with a touch of paranormal. Its an easy read and there is no downtime. The characters are well described and easy to enjoy, even the mob boss and especially Ramos the hit-man. One exception: you will hate the redhead :)Shelby is a strong woman who fights back and who discovers that reading thoughts has advantages and also disadvantages. She also has a strong tendency

So I won't lie, I picked this one up initially for the cover. Then I read the description and I thought 'Let's risk it for a biscuit'. The writing is so fluid it made me feel like a pro surfer riding a wave. It was so easy to read that I flew through this book in no time. Apart from one character, (who you're not supposed to like) I liked everyone in this story. There was enough humour without it being a farce; enough tension to carry the plot and a bit of angst thrown in.Now I don't normally
Here goes a bunch of life-changing carrots!I'm not reviewing the actions of Shelby, which's a good thing since she's all the way on the barmy side :) The only think I'm going to include is a major WARNING: an incredibly talkative telepath klutz in here! Beware!Q:My life changed that day because I didnt have any carrots. ... I was planning on making chicken soup for dinner, but I didnt have any carrots, and everyone knows you cant make chicken soup without carrots. ...It all began because Id
This sounded like a fun idea, and since I had (sadly) bought the Kindle edition I was able to get the Audible edition for cheap. Unfortunately, neither the book nor the narration wore well. The story itself was fine: Shelby Nichols is caught in the middle of a grocery store bank robbery; a bullet grazes her skull. And of course she shortly discovers that she can hear other people's thoughts. As one does after a bullet grazes one's skull. Hijinks ensue, as they do when one develops rogue psychic
I did not end up finishing this book, I got about 1/3 to a 1/2 of the way through and gave up. I usually love murder mysteries and sci-fi books that have a little more drama and action, but go for sillier reads pretty often especially when they're free Kindle books. I tried to get more into this book because I hate not finishing books, but I just wasn't into this one.For me the main character, Shelby, is just not a very likeable character, I really like stronger female leads, or at least smarter

The Shelby Nichols series is one that Ive had my eye on since I featured one of the books on my blog. I was lucky enough to get the eBook Carrots, the first book in the series, for free when it was offered and then I was even more lucky to log onto my Audible app one day and be offered any free audiobook I wanted, so I grabbed Carrots for that offer. There is a little bit of everything going on in the plot of Carrots, with the mafia, police investigations, and more. Its humorous and silly, butA Book you Won't Put DownI started reading this book, and I could not put it down. It was a cross between Stephanie Plum and Rose Gardner.
