Stranglehold
What if your local police, frustrated by laws requiring them to respect the constitutional rights of suspects, maintained a relationship with a secret group of highly trained vigilantes who could be called upon to make problems go away?
AND WHAT if the leaders of such a group amassed such power and ambition that they ultimately became accountable to no one – not even their own well-intentioned foot soldiers?
WELCOME to Stranglehold, a new novel by Katherine Jeffries that takes us through the story of Grant Steele, Gemma Pearl and Trent Roth as they confront the moral dilemmas inherent in the fight against crime, even as she exposes the shocking and troubling world of those who find themselves in this shadowy world, whether they volunteered or were sucked in – or something in between.

I don't know what these ridiculous low star reviews are all about. I thought the book was amazing! It's intelligent, well written, and explores a unique plot line that kept me on the edge of my seat. Yes it's a long book, but I honestly wish it was longer as I didn't want to say goodbye to the characters. Lucky for me, it's only the first in a trilogy! Just read it!

I completely disagree with the premise of this book. In fact, I hate what the characters stand for. And yet I couldn’t put it down! This would make a great series.
The book does leave some questions unanswered.
Searching for answers following her father’s death, Gemma joins his underground organization to remove society’s worst offenders from the streets. The organization has been corrupted under the leadership of her aunt and Gemma is isolated and abused. With help from her father’s former partners she will try to take down the organization.

Considering this is a plan that I have often wished I could make happen...this book serves as a solid cautionary tale about how this seedling of an idea would most likely end up. I too was sad to say goodbye to these friends. Turning this into series wouldn't make me sad. :)

Page turner - Does not disappoint!
Stranglehold had me hooked from the start. There is nothing I love more than an unpredictable plot and this book did not disappoint. The story Jones weaves has so many layers that interweave and twist in the most spectacular way. The characters are multidimensional, complex, real people. And nothing had scratched my itch for justice, action, and faith in true heroes quite like Stranglehold. Read this book!

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I think this book is far more romance than mystery/thriller. Romance fans may love the book, so I don’t want to submit a negative review because I dislike the entire genre. Not my cup of tea.
