About this ebook

A Cincinnati detective questions everything he knows--and everyone he trusts--in the new novel of romantic suspense from New York Times bestseller Karen Rose.

Homicide detective Adam Kimble is no stranger to battling demons. But Meredith Fallon is a different kind of weakness: one that could actually be good for him, if only he would let himself depend on her. Meredith has loved Adam for a year, and seeing how hard he's worked to deal with his PTSD makes her feelings only stronger, but she respects his needs. Her work keeps her busy anyway: she counsels sexually abused women like Mallory Martin to help them reintegrate into the world.

But someone doesn't want Meredith helping women like Mallory, and Meredith finds herself in the crosshairs of a very determined killer. Adam would risk anything for her, but they'll soon find out she isn't the only target...

Ratings and reviews

Dr. Meredith Fallon counsels abused women to help them go forward with their lives. Mallory is one of her young clients who has been under treatment for months. Deciding to take the girl out to lunch may not have been the best idea. One seated, a young man walks up to them, points a gun at Meredith, and then proceeds to tell her he's sorry, but if he doesn't shoot her, 'they will kill her'. Meredith tries to talk him down and eventually pulls out her own gun. When a shot is fired and the young man falls to the floor, Meredith is confused ... she doesn't remember pulling the trigger. Maybe because the kill shot came through the window. Detective Adam Kimble walks back into Meredith's life after a year's absence. The attraction is still there, but there are things she doesn't know about him .. and he's determined to become a better man .. to be deserving of her. But first, he has to find the killer that seems to be targeting Meredith. I have followed this author for years and have never been disappointed in any of her stories. Personally, I think this one is the best yet in this particular series. For anyone who has been following, there are many characters from the previous books encompassing Cincinnati and Chicago that seamlessly make their presence known here. The action and suspense doesn't let up until the very last page. Bodies keep falling and someone really doesn't like Meredith. But when Adam and his partner start getting closer to learning the truth, he also becomes a target. The romance takes backstage to the suspense, but it sizzles, nonetheless. All the characters are finely drawn, and remain true to their natures throughout the series. I love how they all interact with each other. The ending was a surprise .. but satisfactory. Many thanks to the author / Berkley Publishing Group / Netgalley for the digital copy of this Romantic Suspense. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

WOW! Karen Rose gives us another dark and chilling thriller! The action starts right out of the gate and speeds full throttle throughout the entire 640 pages! I could not put this book down! Adam and Meredith are brilliantly crafted! Their characters are complex, flawed and genuine, as are all the characters in the Cincinnati branch of the Romantic Suspense series! The mystery/suspense aspect of the story was on point! There were so many layers of subterfuge and intrigue that kept me glued to my Kindle screen WAY past my bedtime. And boy can Ms. Rose write a villain! It’s scary how her mind works, she’s diabolical! 😈 EDGE OF DARKNESS is a dangerous and deadly mystery that will have you white-knuckling the pages until the very end! ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and feelings are my own***

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Everything is breathtaking and I just couldn't stop reading. This is absolutely worth the read - if you happen to be one of Karen Rose's fans.
