Ratings and reviews

I have loved this series! Being able to follow the same characters through 4 books and one serial killer case was fabulous! All the twists and turns, the ups and downs, all came down to this final book. Each book was unique and added great layers but it really came to this book where the actual killer was revealed. I did figure out who it was about 3 chapters before it was revealed but the author did a great job of keeping the suspense and questions throughout the series. I hope we get more of these longer series that follow the same characters! I didn't want to say goodbye to Jake and Kyra! They were so great! Both of them changed a lot over the 4 books and made a great couple. However, the case was the main focus of the story and it was a great one.

I don't want this to be the conclusion! This is a really well done series. I got to see Kara grow, use her brain and learn to trust. I totally love the way Jake and her tried to be honest in their relationship when all was going down in a handbasket. (Sorry but B&N stops anything that has a cuss or abbreviated cuss) I digress, I just knew who it was, I knew. I was wrong, she (author) merrily led me down red herring lane and I skipped along. Well done. No one is perfect, police are human too and the things we do in the name of love, I got your back Quinn. Could start a new series, about the precinct I would love to hear more about Lori and what about Cool Breeze's sister? Sigh, mystery, romance, suspense! Thank you so much for the arc!. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.
