Review of advance copy received from Author
This book is the 2nd book in the Deadly Justice series and does contain significant spoilers of book 1 (Death Follows Her), so I definitely recommend reading this series in order. All of the main characters are back for this book - agents Samira Haddad and Jalen Smith and attorney Quinn Kelly, and the stakes are once again high. When Quinn finds one of her associates brutally murdered, the FBI is called in to investigate as it seems Quinn is once again central to the killer. The relationships in this book are continued from the prior book as well, so there is a building of rapport and character growth that is good to follow.
This book included a page-turning suspenseful story-line, familiar strong female leads and a mystery that kept me guessing. There were a few twists along the way and once again the ending was left open. Not a cliffhanger, so to speak, but still open-ended. This one was what I would call "faith-light". Faith is mentioned in passing, and was included more than in book 1, but is still not an integral part of the plot. Though not as significant as book 1, there is reference in this book as well to sexual assault and rape, so if those are triggering, this book may be an issue for you, though there are no real details provided. All in all, this was an enjoyable legal suspense novel and I look forward to seeing what happens next! Special thanks to the author for an advance e-copy of this novel. I was not required to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Secrets Chase Her, by Rachel Dylan, is book 2 in the Deadly Justice Series. While it can be read as a stand alone book, I do recommend reading book 1 first as this one continues on with most of the main characters and their continuing relationships.
It begins as well known defense attorney, Quinn Kelly, finds her assistant, Abbie, brutally raped and murdered by a serial killer. FBI agents Samira Haddad, Jalen Smith and Supervisory Special Agent, Wyatt Turner are quick to be assigned to the case due to Quinn’s involvement. Meanwhile, Quinn is being blackmailed by rich and powerful tech guru, Remy Brown, to be his defense attorney in a criminal case. Quinn has never worked a criminal case before, but she has no choice. Plus, she also is determined to find Abbie’s murderer, and make sure justice is served. She soon discovers that he/she may be after her friends, and Samira could be in danger!
You will find yourself immediately drawn into this book of suspense, thrills, mystery, danger and intrigue. Be advised that if you are triggered by gruesome details, rape, murderers and stalkers then this book may not be for you. Ms Dylan keeps the book clean though, and faith is briefly addressed. I do recommend this book, especially if you love mystery murders. Once again the author delivers a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing!

Book #2 Secrets Chase Her - again the title fits the story so well.
There is so much I want to say but can’t say because I won’t spoil it for other readers. So many thoughts and emotions. Dylan’s imagination has challenged my reading habits!
While this series isn’t like others I tend to recommend I am fascinated by the creativity and perspectives it brings. If you want something different with a bit of mystery be sure to start with book #1.
Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.
