Christmas Confessions

by Kathleen Long

THIS CHRISTMAS BROUGHT HER A STRONG BUT SILENT DETECTIVE TO UNWRAP

Jack Grant just couldn’t leave a case cold. Luckily a hot tip led the investigator to Abby Conroy. Her Web site— Don’t Say a Word—broadcast a stalker confessing his many sins, and every crime was committed to get Abby’s attention.

Establishing contact with Abby brought Jack closer to a killer who had haunted him since the death of his sister. It had left him frozen, yet focused beyond belief—the perfect condition to keep Abby safe. But if protecting her thawed the pain that had chilled his heart, would he still have a chance to bring her home this holiday?

I found this a slow read.

[Amanda Sagastume · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a typical romance novel - more of a murder mystery. I enjoyed reading it although I felt the result was very predictable. Very quick read.

ceritanya ttg detektif jack grant yang ngejar serial killer yang membunuh gadis2 muda yang salah satu korbannya adalah adik jack sendiri, emma....
ternyata setelah hampir 11 tahun terjadi pembunuhan dengan modis operandi yang sama..bedanya kali ini si pembunuh menggunakan website "DON"T SAY A WORD' milik abby conroy untuk memamerkan foto2 ce2 yang udah pernah dia bunuh...
dan sekarang si pembunuh mengincar abby....
so jack melindungi abby dengan cara 24 jam selalu berada di sisi abby ^^
pembunuhnya bener2 kejam...walo dari awal kira2 bisa ketebak tapi kita gak tau apa yang melatari si pembunuh ngebunuh ce2 dan orang2 di sekeliling abby...
dan ternyata alasannya sepele.....yah namanya juga serial killer, biasanya kan pada sakit jiwa ;p
gw suka baca buku ini...gak sampe ada adegan boboan bersama, tapi arah kesananya jelas dan pasti....(tinggal nunggu waktu yang tepat hohohohoh)
cukup aman di baca para teenager yang suka YA atau adult yang suka thriller romance ^^

Wasn't the most romantic, but did leave you with the impression of what was to come. Christmas Confessions was more about trying to find a killer from 11 years ago that seemed to be killing again. Detective Jack Grant from Phoenix, Arizona comes all the way to the East coast when evidence resurfaces on Abby Conroy's 'Don't Say A Word' confession site. When we first meet Jack, he is tough, no show feelings type, closed off and all he can think about is finding the killer. But as threats keep coming and start targeting Abby, Jack finds his feelings are shifting. Suddenly the case isn't his main priority and protecting Abby is. Enjoyed watching Jack let his feelings show and allow Abby in.
