I was gifted a copy of this book direct from the author, for no other reason than she is rather awesome! And that in no way reflects on my review and rating.
Katherine has been running for 10 years, adn HE has found her again. But she is tired of running, and she just wants someone to believe her. Detective Cole is floored by the lady who says she is beingstalked. There is no proof, no evidence, nonothing. But Katherine does more than push his professional buttons, she slams his personla ones too. And Cole very quickly becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse that may well cost Katherine her life.
LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS!!
Darlene has excelled herself. Switching from paranormal to crime/thriller can't be easy. There is much less to mess around with, to bend and make up as you go along but Darlene pulls it off beautifully!
You are kept on your toes the whole way through, not totally sure that Katherine is actually being stlaked til HE visits the first time. Not totally sure who HE is, although I had a inkling early on, I just didn't connect the dots quick enough.
Told in the third person, from Katherine and Cole's POV, we also get some of HIM, the stalker, the baddie, the whodunnit. And I loved that! Not enough, though, for my liking. But thats just me, I always want more!
Hot and steamy, deep and emotional, dark and deadly, we get a little bit of everyhing, extremely well written, executed beautifully, and it leaves me wanting more of this type of book from Darlene. Not that she should stop the paranormal series, cos I want that too! Like I said, I always want more.
5 full and shiny stars
