Blog Tour: FOOLPROOF by AJ Lape




Things quickly jump from bad to worse when someone hijacks the name of Darcy’s alter ego, framing “Jester” in a Hitchcock-like blend of crimes that leaves her head spinning.
In FOOLPROOF, Darcy battles an adversary who tests her IQ while she navigates the daunting worries of a high school senior. Add on the emotional fallout of her latest caper, a cop breathing down her neck, and a hot but stubborn boyfriend, and she’s at her wit’s end.
Can she find her zen and unmask the real murderer? Or get used to a life of prison orange?


How do I review FOOLPROOF without spoilers? There’s so much going on. Darcy and her sidekicks, Dylan included, begin senior year of high school, and the hijinks start on the very first day. Not only is there a fresh murder to solve, but nagging details about Buffalo Trails Country Club, a stalker, drug dealers, and a cafeteria pilferer come to light as well. Darcy is a dead-body magnet, let’s just say that.
FOOLPROOF is filled with humor throughout, Darcy irreverent as usual as she weaves through a twisted labyrinth of “who’s on first,” putting on her “Sherlock Holmes” and enlisting aid from her shady informant, Jaws. Aside from a speed-dating fiasco Darcy attends (just for moral support, as we know she’s with hottie, Dylan) she also faces life’s daunting choices about her post high-school world, working her in-your-face magic behind the scenes on Dylan’s behalf for the well-being of his future while pondering her own.
FOOLPROOF was entertaining, funny, and heartwarming. Pull out the hankies for the graduation scene at the end, and prepare yourself for the sizzle between Darcy and Dylan and their touching thoughtfulness of one another down to their cores. There’s not too many book boyfriends like Dylan, but once in a while one jumps from the pages. Swoon. Darcy fans will love the Dark Walker’s latest installment. Highly recommend.

Fisher Stanton, Valley High School’s Nantucket wann...

Fisher Stanton, Valley High School’s Nantucket wannabe, has a cheating girlfriend. When he hires Darcy Walker to chase her to a local club, in true Darcy fashion she stumbles upon a dead body. Thing is, this body has secrets...and Darcy’s mysterious friend, Jaws, and the reporter, Tito Westbrook, have a vested interest. Both enlist Darcy to find the person responsible who has eluded them for years, but Darcy doesn’t solve crimes for free anymore—especially where Jaws is concerned. Knowing Darcy’s Achilles heel, Jaws blackmails Darcy into working for him.In a true test of wills, Darcy and Jaws battle head-to-head—Jaws needs Darcy to help him end a bitter grudge war; Darcy needs Jaws to divulge the mystery surrounding her mother’s death. Haunted by a past that shaped her present, Darcy will stop at nothing to get answers. Even if it means breaking the law and being disloyal to her new boyfriend, Dylan Taylor, in the process.DEFCON DARCY gives Darcy’s demons a name and ties up loose ends that made Darcy into the verb that she is. What she thinks she knows as truth, isn’t. What she wishes wasn’t true…is.The problem is, when your life goes DEFCON 1, not everyone lives to tell about it.

AJ Lape answers the lingering questions we’ve all had since book one, mixed with humor, romance, suspense, mystery, fear, and resolution. Another great installment, and I look forward to more fun with Darcy Walker.

Book Three:


After a loved one is murdered, Allison receives a cryptic message from the deceased. A warning to trust no one, not even those closest to her.
In order to identify the murderer, Allison must trust a mysterious stranger and piece together a series of clues while under the suspicious eye of a jealous boyfriend, a vengeful archangel and a jittery Ruling Council. When information is unearthed about the murderer and Allison’s lineage, her world isn’t the only one that’s rocked.
They say that the truth will set you free, but will that be the case for Allison and those she loves?

THE TRUTH is available NOW via these sites:
Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Kobo and Smashwords!Goodreads

My phone rang. “What?” I barked at Max. “Allison, where are you? I’ve been trying to get ahold of you all morning.” “Yeah, I noticed. Between you, Marlo and Lorenzo my phone has been buzzing nonstop this morning.” “And you don’t bother to answer any of our calls? Never mind,” he snapped before I could interject. “You need to come to Castle Adena immediately.” “You know, Max, a little trust goes a long way. I haven’t strayed from my diet since leaving your rehab. My urges are under control. I even had a couple of blood bags this morning.”

~Matt and I had been husband and wife before we were archangel and vampire. That had to mean something, but apparently it didn’t. ~
~Though we vampires were monsters, maybe there was a part of that human being we once were that we never lost.~

Talk about some new twists and turns in The Descendant Vampire Series. Allison follows some mysterious clues in the pursuit of the truth. A truth she doesn’t have the foggiest idea that exists, but will truly set her heart free.
This third book in the series, again, is full of imagination—not your usual vampire tale. Grealis leads the reader down a path of vampire detox, unsolved murders, illicit activities, more vampire Bible lore, Allison's love life, and more than a few huge surprises. Makes me look forward to the next one! Well done.
