**Finalist for the Washington State Book Award and the Lambda Award in Bisexual Fiction**

Sexy, fun, serious and unputdownable. --Bethanne Patrick, The Washington Post

"Brazen, brawny, sexy . . . full of unforgettable characters and insatiable appetites. I was riveted. Painstakingly researched and pulsing with adrenaline, Carrasco's debut will leave you thirsty for more." --Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham

A vivid, sexy barn burner of a historical crime novel, The Best Bad Things introduces readers to the fiery Alma Rosales--detective, smuggler, spy

It is 1887, and Alma Rosales is on the hunt for stolen opium. Trained in espionage by the Pinkerton Detective Agency--but dismissed for bad behavior and a penchant for going undercover as a man--Alma now works for Delphine Beaumond, the seductive mastermind of a West Coast smuggling ring.

When product goes missing at their Washington Territory outpost, Alma is tasked with tracking the thief and recovering the drugs. In disguise as the scrappy dockworker Jack Camp, this should be easy--once she muscles her way into the local organization, wins the trust of the magnetic local boss and his boys, discovers the turncoat, and keeps them all from uncovering her secrets. All this, while sending coded dispatches to the circling Pinkerton agents to keep them from closing in.

Alma's enjoying her dangerous game of shifting identities and double crosses as she fights for a promotion and an invitation back into Delphine's bed. But it's getting harder and harder to keep her cover stories straight and to know whom to trust. One wrong move and she could be unmasked: as a woman, as a traitor, or as a spy.

A propulsive, sensual tour de force, The Best Bad Things introduces Katrina Carrasco, a bold new voice in crime fiction.

The Best Black Slim Jeans for the Price
Size: 32W x 33L, Color: Black
This is the second pair I bought, this time in Black (32W x 33L). The size and fit are the same excellent slim cut as the medium wash version. The Black is a nice, solid color that looks semi-dressy. The stretchiness is perfect—it makes these incredibly comfortable to wear all day. The material is soft and light for denim. For functionality, they are easily dressed up or down. As for long-term durability, based on my medium wash pair, they hold up very well, resisting bagging out in the knees and seat. Highly recommend this exact fit and material combination.

Sizing is bull.
Size: 36W x 34L, Color: Rinse, Size: 36W x 34L, Color: Rinse
I ordered the same size, same brand, 3 different colors and the dark one was the only one that fit. I returned the small ones and ordered another pair of the dark, same size, same brand, same color, same EVERYTHING, literally 2 days later and this is what I received. How is it the same but one is clearly at LEAST one size smaller? This is bull, I’m so mad. I’m not gaining weight, these should fit PERFECTLY (the larger one does). Ridiculous.

Great jeans at a great price
Size: 33W x 30L, Color: Blue Overdyed
These are great jeans and high quality. I compared them to some of my expensive jeans and found them nearly comparable. The slim cut works perfectly for me.
