Cincinnati City Lights #1-10

by Jacie Middlemann

The Hendricks family has long known that it’s wise to be careful what you wish for...dark family secrets have a way of finding their way to the light. Unfortunately, enemies usually aren’t too far behind.

Grace had never been more terrified...the pain was relentless.
Nothing in her life prepared her for this.
She desperately needed somewhere safe...someplace she could hide.
Someone she could trust with her life.
It was dark...and getting darker.

Ronan Hendricks didn’t recognize her voice.
Not family...not friends.
Probably not an enemy.
But he didn’t need the years he’d spent as a detective to recognize what he did hear...
Fear.

In a desperate moment of hope, a single number saved her life. Then a complete stranger opened his home offering safety yet Grace knew danger surrounded them...when the pain allowed her to think clearly. But she knew she needed him to stay alive because someone wanted her dead...like her sister.

Ethan Hendricks wasn’t thrilled that his private investigator brother was involved in his current murder investigation. He’d had a bad feeling about it from the moment he walked through the crime scene. The second time through wasn’t any better.

Maya Fenton had very few choices...unfortunately all of them included facing a ghost from her past. But she’s discovered secrets... potentially deadly secrets that could no longer stay hidden in the dark.

Grace is determined to help unravel the mystery behind her sister’s violent murder. Their investigation includes Grace and her sister’s business records...numbers don’t lie. They eventually point them in an unexpected direction that reveals a harsh and bitter truth...there is no greater betrayal than when it comes from within.

There is nothing closer than family.

As they continue to look for clues in her sister’s murder, Grace and Ronan along with trusted family and friends both new and old, discover possible evidence of hidden secrets, betrayal, and deception. Their search for answers may take them in a direction they didn’t expect.

About the author

I fell in love with books when I was in the 4th grade and my free period was spent volunteering in the school library. I read every Nancy Drew book there was to check out, discovered collections of myths and fairy tales from around the world, Louisa May Alcott and C.S. Lewis, and decided I wanted my own library. By the end of that summer with the supplies our school librarian graciously provided me my books had due date slips, card pockets, book cards, and black electrical tape on the spine with the first three letters of the author's last name. I still have most of those books.
In the hope she could get me involved in something else my mother gave me a camera. Right around the same time my father told me I could use his typewriter when he wasn't using it. The typewriter won. We shared his typewriter but I also filled notebooks with stories scribbled before school, after school, and often when I was supposed to be asleep. Thanks to my mother, who saved just about every single one of those notebooks, I still have them as well.
Several years ago my father gave me his typewriter…the same one we shared all those summers ago. Every time I look at it I remember the young 4th grade girl who was quietly encouraged to do what she loved…and years later reminded with a box filled with notebooks crammed full of handwritten stories and dreams.
And it’s still not unheard of that I stay up way later than I should with a good book that’s just impossible to put down.

Listened to this book with my sister because, well... she's my sister...🤣🤣 ok sorry it's out of my system now. We both agree that there was a cool story line but the author didn't do a great job delivering. Repeated a couple very obvious phrases 20+times throughout the book and that was a little weird. Anyway, we got through it.

Weird book structure! Well written apart from the odd thing with division into lots of mini-books instead of one tome divided into sections, but hey. It could have used a bit more editing. Grammatical errors. Also, more research would have shown that there is only one bone in the upper arm - the humorous. Different ways to express how the characters were speaking would also have been nice. Dryly, wryly and drolly? Hmm...

The first half moved pretty well and kept my interest but it fell apart in the 2nd half and was anticlimactic. That combined with the AI narrator which pronounced the character Ronan’s name correctly in one sentence then wrong in the next drove me crazy.
