This is a weekly meme where anyone can choose and highlight a random book from their Goodreads TBR. This meme was formerly featured on LaurensPageTurners and was taken over by Budget Tales Book Blog.

Maddie’s forced to start a K-9 Search and Rescue team with her ex-girlfriend’s twin, a hostile sheriff, or risk losing her beloved former military dog. She reluctantly begins reaching out to others…and finds friendship and kindness in the unlikeliest of places. Meanwhile, the unknown killer is determined to stop the animal psychic from solving the mystery of his identity. Can she save her own life by saving the dog she loves? In a fresh and heartfelt story, Marta Acosta brings to life a complex and beautifully flawed character. Readers will fall in love with this unconventional protagonist who defies labels and classification.
