While she is trying to deal with all the craziness in her\u00a0office, she also thinks\u00a0she might be in danger. We come to know that she has taken a new identity and is hiding a secret.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The book starts with\u00a0an introduction to all the characters in the book. While that is something different, it got a little boring.\u00a0The opening scene is scary and hilarious! The plot is a little confusing in the beginning. I liked the whole office setting\u00a0of the book since I haven&#8217;t read a lot of books with that. I also loved the writing! The narration is humorous and quirky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The book is light and funny with a darker undertone. The plot is completely centered around Macey. There are insane events happening one after the other and the book gets\u00a0very messy. Even halfway through, I couldn&#8217;t see where it was going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I absolutely loved Macey\u00a0and her narration in the book. She is like a badass boss and is also hilarious and witty. Besides her funny remarks, she is also a very strong character. She is\u00a0a fan of bad puns and has an adorable feisty cat. Most of the other characters seem to hate her. They seem to consist of mean girls, crazy old ladies, perverts and hunks. The characters also seem to have mood swings from time to time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">There are many laugh out loud moments in the book even if it is a little weird and insane. It\u00a0is surrounded by an office with lots of characters and crimes and mysteries. The romance is very light in the book and I liked it that way.\u00a0However, the amount of drama makes up for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This book was a really fun read for me. I&#8217;ve never read a crime mystery before that has humor in it.It was refreshing to read a contemporary like this. The only reason I cut down the stars was because it felt very disorganized. I do recommend it if you&#8217;re looking for something different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Add this book on Goodreads Buy this book on Amazon Genre: Humor, Mystery My Rating: 3.5 stars I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an\u00a0honest review \u00a0Take the Body and Run by Jada&hellip;<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/03\/21\/book-review-take-the-body-and-run-by-jada-ryker\/#more-4688\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Book Review: Take the Body and Run by Jada Ryker (Macey Malloy Mysteries with a Chick-Lit Twist: Book 1)<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,99,187,248,315,325,376,389,424,428,463,510],"class_list":["post-4688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-book-review","tag-books","tag-fiction","tag-jada-ryker","tag-mystery","tag-new-adult","tag-reading","tag-romance","tag-suspense","tag-take-the-body-and-run","tag-thriller","tag-young-adult"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4559,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/04\/books-i-read-in-january-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":4688,"position":0},"title":"January 2017 Reads","date":"February 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Hello everyone!
