Even with how weird Seth was I still kind of liked him. I'm not really sure about the Darek/Lizzy thing going on, it's getting a little out of hand for the situation.

Hooked and Hanging On!!! 💙💚💛💜
BAM!!! What just happened??? That was my thought when I got to the end. The twist came from out of the blue just when I thought I had it all figured out!!! Book 5 Aries is just as heart stopping, blood pumping and nail biting as the first books in this series. The young boys from camp V under the leadership of Bay Collins known as the Zodiacs are being targeted with murder, mayhem and blackmail and not even Bay himself is exempt from the fear. Seth is married and working for his father n law, he is also running for a political office but he has a taste for sharing his wife in private...he also wears the sign of Aries on his shoulder. Darek and Lizzy are still on the case but things have shifted in their relationship leaving Darek on loose footing. Bay thinks he is holding all the cards until he receives a message that leaves him scrambling. Alan is new to the plot but is in no better shape than some of the other Zodiacs in his personal life. Things are heating up and not only in the bedroom or playroom. Nerves are fraying, the threats are real and the question on all minds....what or who is next??? OMG this series has me hooked and hanging on and I love the ride each page takes me on. I have already ordered the next in this series "Taurus". Highly recommend this book and series!! It's best to start with book one "The Zodiac Killer" and follow in order for the full affect. Ali Parker and Lexy Timms are both great authors anf together they are a dynamic duo that will leave you breathless for more than one reason.

Will Seth Survive ?
This is the fifth book in the Zodiac Killers Series by W.L. Knightly [who is really renowned authors Ali Parker and Lexy Timms writing together] and I have read each and every one of them. I think that, at a pinch, you could read it as a standalone but to fully appreciate the complexities of the characters and the storyline you really must read them all in order. The main characters are Darek Blake and his partner Lizzy who are so really good together as a working detectives but also finding their way in their new personal relationship. Their characters are developing nicely but Lizzy is assigned a new case and so the question is whether their loving relationship will continue? These books are following the deathly trail left by the serial killer. Is Darek going to get any closer to who the killer might be? Will the killer carry out his murderous intent or will Seth Sloane survive in this book? This is an extreme well written story with plenty of heat and passion and some explicit scenes so caution is to be noted. The suspense is captivating and just when I think I've got a real idea about who the killer is, I'm given another clue and it totally destroys my train of thought. So it is certainly keeping my mind intrigued and I look forward to the Taurus book next to see whether Lizzy and Darek will be back together as a team in the hunt for the serial killer?? I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.

Still a lot of tension, manipulation, and sex.There’s an enormous twist in the end that makes me expect the next part. There’re lots of new events in this episode, new characters and some dead ones.
This time it’s mainly Seth story and his wish to have children because he wants to be a politician with a good image, but his couple just loves kinks sex and Bay has a tape from Seth and Finn having sex.
Lizzie wants to slow her relation with Darek. They investigate on Logan’s death in prison but Darek is sure that some of the murders are not from the Zodiac killer, but more probably from Bay. Another character enter in the plot : Alan Lowe is the owner of a security agency but he has a problem with gambling and he’s used to ask favor to Bay. This time Bay wants his property which is owned by Seth too. Bay will help him if he can convince Seth to sell his part.
Bay has a contact with the killer and he understands that his family is threattred too.
It's better to have read the first books of the series to understand all the links between the characters.

Aries, Zodiac #5. A “10” ⭐️ star, sizzling story...
WOW!!! HOT!!! 🔥 Holy Hotness!!! Aries is the fifth book in the mysterious Zodiac series by Ali & Lexy. This series just keeps getting better with each new release. I’ve been totally engrossed with this series since the very first book. The plots, storylines & the characters are amazing. Once I start reading, it’s impossible to put the book down until it’s completed & it’s been that way for each one.
Aries tells the story of Seth Stone. Seth has always had big dreams but they’ll all be crushed if his indiscretions become known. Bay is still the evil & controlling jerk. Darek is the detective who’s trying to solve the murders & Lexy is the FBI Agent assigned to the case. The chemistry continues to heat up between Lizzy & Darek but will they break their “professional” relationship?
If you want to find out how their relationship grows & learn who the Zodiac killer is, be sure to “one-click” to add this new story to your library. I highly recommend Aries & guarantee you won’t regret it.

Wait! What? This book ends on one heck of a cliff-hanger. By the end, we can probably eliminate one, possibly two, more people who aren’t the villain, but I know I’m no closer to figuring out who it really is. This series is reminding me of those old radio shows, where once a week you’d tune in to get a small piece of the story. But you had to keep tuning in, week after week, to learn the rest of the story. I’d been hoping that this book would start answering some of my questions, instead it’s provided me with more information which has only generated more questions. It’s successfully held me glued to the page, desperate to learn more. And that’s where I am now, desperate for the next book, waiting for answers that will start putting the whole picture together for me.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.

This series just gets better and better, fantastic plot twists and well written. In this book we see events mainly from Seth’s perspective, and Adam (another Zodiac member??) is introduced.
Darek and Lizzy are tip-toeing through an awkward “post hook-up, what’s going on” phase whilst investigating the murders. Doesn’t help that Lizzy is simultaneously working on another case, so isn’t around Darek as much. He is conflicted because he wants a relationship, and Lizzy wants to go slow. I can’t decide if she’s avoiding him or investigating the Zodiac killer without him. Probably not, but this book is well written to potentially lead you down a rabbit hole!!
Can’t wait until the next instalment is released.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book. The suspense is killing me and I love it! Just when I think I may have things figured out, nope I’m wrong, this series is so intense, gripping, suspenseful, dangerous and will leave you begging for more while you are hanging to the edge of your seat by a thread. Secrets and Lies everywhere, lives in peril, blackmail and betrayal at every corner. How far will Seth go to keep his secrets hidden? Will Lizzy and Darek figure their relationship out? So many unanswered questions, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. You will be sucked in and won’t know what to do but sit there with your jaw to the ground thinking, no freaking way! Yes, that good, this is a must read, you won’t be disappointed.

I read this book as part of an arc program. I am so hooked on this series. This is the fifth book in the Zodiac Killers series. In this book, the killer is still haunting Darek and the other zodiacs. This book deals mostly with Seth, the group's Aries. Seth is running for office and he has many secrets that he is trying to bury. Bay also knows Seth's secrets and will use the information to his benefit. Meanwhile the bodies are still piling up and Darek and Lizzy have no new clues as to who the killer is. This series is full of twists and turns as well as danger and suspense. I thought I knew who the killer was going to be, now I am really not sure who it is. This series will keep you guessing, I can't wait for the next book.

The drama continues as Logan is found murdered in prison and Finn is reported missing. Seth is Aries in the Zodiac group and is planning a political career as he dominates his wife and participates in group sex, ugh. Derek is still trying to win over Lizzy and work the murder cases while hiding his involvement, and Bay is still a low-life creeper. The Zodiac killer doesn't really do much until the very end, and even then someone else does the killing. Confused yet?
I liked this book better than the last one. The end definitely left me wondering, and cursing. I was given a copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

The suspense is ratcheting up!
Seth Stone has big aspirations, but those can all disappear in a beat when he realises his indiscretions are no longer secret. Will he cave to Bay Collins demands? Will he, unlike the others, get to part ways with the Zodiacs?
More of the Zodiacs are turning up dead, and Darek Blake is struggling under the weight of closing the book on his past. He's finding out, like Seth did, that some secrets never really stay hidden.
The twist at the end of the story has me eager to find out what happens next.

Not my thing
I like the story well enough. I just can not deal with all the graphic sex don't think I will buy any more as I end up skipping all the sex scenes. So it's a waste of money unless you are into that sort of thing. Think I will pass. They are getting so long and drawn out now that if you cut all the sex out you could probably fit the whole series in three books. I m a bit disappointed as I would like to know the ending but I can not read another of these books unless it's the end it's getting strung out too long for a price.

This series just keeps getting better with each book! I’m totally hooked even though the guessing and unanswered questions are killing me! As all of the previous books, this one also kept me glued to my reader and I couldn’t turn pages fast enough. The cliffhanger left me desperate for the next book, but with this series I wouldn’t want it any other way! With suspense, intrigue and danger growing with each book this series is a must read!

i love this series more with each book, each further glimpse into the Zodiacs. Seth, the Aries of the group, has big political aspirations and even bigger secrets to hide. Darek and Lizzie's relationship takes steps backwards and Bay keeps pulling strings like a master puppeteer.
I have no idea who the killer is (beyond a theory so crazy it can't possibly be true!) but I'm really enjoying the ride he has us on! Can't wait for the next one.

Wow, I didn't predict this end!!!! I just finished reading this book and I am totally amazed.
I like this story always more with each book.
It's getting more complicated, more intriguing. There are new characters, whereas the ones we already know are developed more in depth.
This book at the beginning started in an easy way, but in the end it reserved a big surprise.
Aries deserves 5 stars and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

What a thrilling reading experience. The storyline is well-written, intriguing, filled with lies and deceit, secrets, and twists to keep the reader engaged. This is part 5 of a series that needs to be read in order to truly appreciate the story, there is more backstory being added. The characters are developed and realistic. I loved it.

Voluntary review of an ARC. Another interesting installment in a great series, although perhaps not quite as intense as previous episodes. Bay is starting to get a little anxious and the relationship between Darek and Lizzie is a bit off. Wonder what's going on there. Bodies are still piling up but not as quickly this time around. As always looking forward to reading more of this series.
April 27, 2018
This is another intensely suspense thriller that will keep you trying to figure out who it really is. This well written intriguing storyline with thrilling characters.

Wow. Just... WOW! I have been following this series from the first book, and I keep getting shocked and surprised at the twists that keep on coming!!! Jeezly Crow... You know how some series lose their edge, give away their ending, or just kind of peter out? Yeah. This has yet to happen here!!! Nail biting suspense. You never know what's around the corner, and who is capable of what.

Outstanding!! I was blown away by this one and did not see that ending coming! This series is full of suspense and this installment just takes it up a notch. This is Seth's story with all of its twist and turns it is an exciting read. I would recommend starting with book one. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

A great storyline that is so well-written, intriguing, filled with lies and deceit, secrets, and twists to keep the reader engaged. Each book in the series is better than the last one. Cannot wait until the next installment!! Best to read all the books in the series.

This series is getting better and better. This book follows Seth who was introduced in the last book. I can’t help but love Bay, he is so conniving and always had something up his sleeve. Derek is still following leads but things with Lizzy aren’t going to good. This is an amazing series and I definitely recommend this book.

I mean come on! The twists just keep coming!
In thick of it all at this point- crazy things kept popping up for the remaining members of the Zodiacs!
Mystery, intrigue, sexy suspense with some " sharing " well-developed characters this storyline has me hooked!
My theories and I are sitting impatiently waiting for the next book Taurus!
Love it!!

I just am in love with this idea for a book series and I’m always anxiously awaiting the next installment. I found Seth’s book to be a bit different from the rest but things are changing and pressures are mounting. I’m fascinated by Bay and I’m trying hard not to give spoilers but there was a part in this story with him that I very much enjoyed. Totally shocking ending. You will never see it coming!
