Synopsis (Goodreads):
While Sunni Taylor is embroiled in her own personal turmoil with Detective Brady Jackson, she's handed a new assignment to cover a longstanding feud between two families, the Plunketts and Carmichaels. A decades long fight over water rights seems like rather lackluster fodder for a newspaper story, but when the feud devolves into secret trysts and plotted murders, Sunni finds herself deep in the thick of it all.

It seems, once again, Sunni is thrown into Jackson's path. For the moment she pushes aside her broken heart and muddled head. She has a murder to solve and a story to write. But things turn frightening when the investigation puts her directly in the path of a ruthless killer.
Thoughts on Fatal Feud: Small towns make it a wee bit difficult to avoid the your ex. Honestly, for all Sunni's heart's been bruised by the breakup, she still WANTS to see Jax. And he wants to see her. Which works for me because I want the two of them to get back together. If only Sunni would tell him that teeny-tiny secret she's holding onto.

But we'll get to that in a minute. First, we have an unexpected death to deal with. As tends to happen, Sunni is minding her own business (interviewing a family for an article for the paper, this time around) when someone's found dead at the farm next door. Also as tends to happen, Sunni neatly inserts herself into the investigation. Not unexpectedly (unlike the unexpected death mentioned above), she has to spend time with the hunky detective Brady Jackson during the course of the investigation.

On a positive note, Jax isn't letting their breakup turn him cold to Sunni. In fact, he's more than happy to have her helping. (Or maybe he's just happy to keep an eye on her, since she has a tendency to get into some difficult situations.) So the two work their magic to figure out the whos and whys of how it happened.

On an even happier note, Sunni does finally come clean about her resident ghost. Which pleases me greatly since said ghost is directly involved in...well, several things having to do with Jax. Once Jax wraps his head around all of it, I'm hopeful things will get back to normal between these two crazy kids.

A little murder, a little secrecy, more than a little danger, and an arrogant ghost who delights in keeping Sunni on her toes. *thumbs up*
