"Waking to find herself on the dirt floor of a corrugated steel building, Kate Jones grabs her backpack full of money intent on finding her way back to the United States.

DV Berkom’s Bad Spirits is a fast paced action packed novella which reads like a nonstop high octane movie. Each chapter moves at breakneck speed. The heroine, Kate, barely has time to take a breather before finding herself in another impossible situation and back on the run.
...I finished it in one sitting and felt exhausted when I did! This was a fun read and I look forward to more from Berkom."
From Don L. Chance:
"Talk about a non-stop slugfest! Right from the opening paragraphs of "Bad Spirits," by DV Berkom, the action takes off running at full speed and doesn't stop.
In "Bad Spirits," Kate decides to stop being the exotic American girlfriend of a vicious regional Mexican drug lord, Salazar, and comes into possession of millions of dollars that she didn't know were bound for an even more deadly drug kingpin on her way out of the country. It doesn't take her long to realize that she can't trust anyone as she makes her way to the coast, and the - hopefully - helpful American ex-patriots living along the Sea of Cortez.
When even a coyote smuggling people across the border refuses to have anything to do with her, due to the "bad spirits" he sees around her, Kate knows she is truly on her own.
With cartel thugs, money-hungry thug wannabes and even a rogue DEA agent on her trail - millions of dollars will often bring out a lot of mean in some people - Katherine eventually catches enough of a break to end up in the hands of authentic drug agents she distrusts a little less, and she finally feels...well, not completely safe, but as safe as she can get under the circumstances.
But will it last?"
From Author C. Michaels:
"Bad Spirits captures the terror of being linked to a notorious Mexican cartel leader. Kate, the heroine, is hunted down after escaping the group, and as it would seem feasible that Mexico is a large enough country to find secure hiding, the book illustrates just how powerful their network of thugs can be.
DV Berkom's Bad Spirits is fast paced action that pits Kate against the men working for Salazar, her ex-lover, who is determined to punish her for leaving him. Each chapter brings another impossible situation for her to overcome, and had me changing the pages quickly to read how she would prevail.
...don't start this unless you are free to enjoy to the finish. You won't want to interrupt this whirlwind adventure until you know her fate."
