Total Enhancement: (Mina Kane Book 1) Kindle Edition

CIU Agent Mina Kane has her lamella gloves full in the year 2105.

Mina Kane has been on assignment undercover for eighteen insufferable months trying to box up a sticky-fingered hacker. She’s eager for this op to be finished—not only because the boredom of telework is literally draining the life out of her, but she’s desperate to be rid of the fresh-faced rookie. Agent Adams is driving her straight into the stratosphere with his wide-eyed enthusiasm and lack of sufficient training.

Luckily for Mina, her next case is a solo classified. Someone at Total Enhancement Pet Center, where pet owners pay for their furbabies to be pampered, is using their access to attach encrypted data onto animals. Mina’s job is to uncover who it is. But what she discovers at Total Enhancement goes much deeper than just encryptions. The plan changes from passive to action faster than a world currency coin can spin on its edge.

One thing is for sure—catching bad guys in 2105 is never boring.

Amanda Carlson has created another great futuristic series, a different time setting from her Holly Danger series, 200 hundred years earlier. Wilhelmina (Mina) Kandy Kane is an incredible, determined undercover agent and she has a network of friends, Kaylee, the Wrong Lee and technological helpers, Veronica and Eggie to assist her in this amazing mystery. The technology created for these 2105 settings is truly inventive, up to par with Holly Danger, even though in a different century. Wrong Lee is a super hacker undercover rookie, a fun character. This new adventure series first book is a great read, can't wait to start the next one in the series, Book 2, Perfect Plant.

Well! Another great start to a new series from Amanda Carlson, featuring another fantastic female hero, Mina Candy Kane, and a great cast of supporting players who are all super well-fleshed out. I really felt like I knew these characters- Eggie! Kevin! Veronica! I particularly loved the world building- I couldn't get enough of the descriptions, especially the food. : ) The story is fast and action-packed too- one of the things I love in a book is when it plays like a movie in my head while I'm reading, and this did just that. Looking forward to more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling beginning to a fabulous series
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020
This is one of those stories that a wide audience of readers will love. It will appeal to those who love Cozy Mysteries, Thrillers, Sci-Fi adventures, Urban Fantasy fans (no magic but a lot of magical tech), bad-a** female characters, quirky support characters, dashes of romance, and anyone who has ever read anything by Ms. Carlson and loved it.

It's set in a futuristic world that has amazing technology, one that fans of this author's Holly Danger series will recognize, but it's not tied to that series and stands on it's own. The detail that has gone into describing this amazing world brings it to life and immerses the reader in a way that brings the world to life without bogging them down. Since I need world building in my stories, more so if it's not set in our current world, this is something that really appeals to me.

Wilhelmina Kandy Kane... The name made me giggle like a child and filled my soul with happiness. She's a snarky, sarcastic, witty, kick-a** Undercover Agent that had me intrigued from the start. She's got it all! Her "team" of cohorts (for lack of a better term) are also all amazing and I can't imagine her world without them. I'm not going to say more than that because it's so much better discovering them for yourself.

If that isn't enough, you also have an original crime, a fast-paced, excitement filled ride that keeps you guessing and isn't "fluffy". It's not just a friend who died and she's going get to the bottom of it type of thing, but it's not so horrible that fans of Cozies will be turned off by it but it's not light enough to not appeal to those who love thrillers. I was actually surprised at how well it balances on that fine edge between the two genre, and one of the reasons it's hard to classify this story.

Ms. Carlson jumps across genre lines like they aren't even there. She's not afraid to take a chance and tell the stories of the characters in their heads, even if it's not the same type of story she has written before. That genre hopping is one of my favorite things about her. Her stories always feel fresh and new, and there isn't a pattern like I've found with other authors. The worlds, characters, and adventures are each perfect in their own way, but the writing style is similar. The story is going to keep you interested and invested. It's not something you are going to be able to walk away from once you pick it up, and the second it ends all you want to do is reach for the next one. That's what this story is. A fabulous read by a very talented author that will keep you glued to the pages from beginning to end. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars fun futuristic high tech mystery
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2020
Amanda Carlson is starting off this new cyber-punk- futuristic cozy mystery thriller series- not entirely sure how to classify it- in a really great way. This book follows Wilhelmina (Mina) Kandy Kane, a kick@$$ undercover government agent in a high-tech futuristic world, as she tries to trace coded messages being passed through a super advanced animal grooming facility- something much bigger lurks beneath the fur and scales and bots of the the Total Enhancement groomers.
Mina is a really fun character- smart, clever, a great agent. Her undercover identity gets endangered when someone from her past shows up, a childhood friend, who turns out to have grown into a very important foreign leader and celebrity in his own. Stories are spun to try to throw off the scent when her image is seen in the news. The risk is too great.
Her best friend and fellow agent Kaylee is really fun, lots of energy and spirit, and there's Lee- the new recruit- former hacker turned agent, he's worked with both Mina and Kaylee, and while he's super green, he's got instinct and skills. All together, the three of them are a really great team.
All of this cozy mystery/thriller fun combined with advanced tech and gadgets that feel really believable in this futuristic world.
One of my favorite things about the series is all the nods and easter eggs for those readers of her Holly Danger post-apocalyptic series. Mina Kane's world is the same one, only before the disaster that changed the world that Holly Danger lives in- so fun to see all those connections. You don't have to have read Holly Danger, but it's fun if you have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Futuristic Read!
Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2021

Enjoyable, humorous, fast-paced, sci-fi thriller with a touch of romance and a strong female lead character. Clean with no swearing. Amanda Carlson is a talented author who can describe a futuristic society in incredible detail.

Some excerpts:

Mina exited her ride at the same time as her quasipartner, Lee, exited his. She refrained from exhaling the long, tired sigh sliding its way up her trachea.

Once the lights switched to green on the receptacles, the doors powered open at the speed of an elderly person piloting an airchair.

As the craft drew closer to their destination, an unwanted thought crept into her brain about as subtly as a kitten pouncing on unprotected toes.

Lee’s head popped up, and he peered at her like a baby owl. His coloring was even right on—brown with tufts of gold.

I don't know why I downloaded this. It's not my type of novel. It sounded interesting but I was lost within the first chapter. It would be better to introduce your characters and explain terms than dive straight into the story.
