Paint It Black

by Michelle Perry

After fulfilling a lifelong devotion of bringing her drug lord father to justice, DEA agent Necie Bramhall believes the painful past is finally behind her—unaware that she has just created a new, more deadly enemy. Necie's beautiful and ruthless half-sister Maria Barnes, driven by a lifetime of jealousy and enraged by her father's arrest, is bent on destroying everything Necie holds dear—starting with her marriage and family. When Necie's daughter is kidnapped, new revelations show that her imprisoned father, the man she always perceived as her greatest enemy, might be the only one who can save her from Maria's wrath.

[Lhenry · Rating 4 out of 5]

The was an unusual romantic suspense. It was told in the first person which should have made it more emotional but there was still an odd feeling of detachment in spite of the story being full of action and emotion. Normally I would consider this a flaw, but somehow it worked anyway. I thought the concept of the story was very good. The unrelenting quality of the villain and the hits that kept coming to the heroine, Necie was scary and hard to predict. Although the villain was pretty one dimensional, the other secondary characters were more developed with flaws and virtues and that worked well too. I was ok with the ending but feel like I should warn that it seems like there should be a sequel to this book, but if one is out there, I can't seem to figure out what it is.

The ending of this book left me both cold and nauseous.
