A Spellbinding Crime Story with a Bombshell Finale
Wow! Just when you think you will never read a story that will keep you glued to your reading devise, along comes the final series: Black Ice, an extraordinary, page-turning psychological thriller with descriptive, multifaceted characters, and absorbing dialogue. Nala Jordan is back with her diabolical antics but when her mom, Dominique Richards, comes into the picture, the plot becomes more stirring, exposing some shocking secrets, deception, betrayal, forewarnings, manipulation, lust, supernatural occurrences and scandal, which would make Lucifer jump for joy, building up to an ending that will leave you reeling. By itself, Black Ice is a magnificent narrative, but I would urge you to read the first three books to see how Nala‘s journey draws her into a never-ending abyss.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and I must say I really enjoyed reading.
Even though this book is part of a series, I like the fact that I can read as a standalone book. So after reading this book it makes me want to go back and read the other's in the series.
The saying hell has no fury like a woman scorned is so true in this storyline.
The storyline characters were well developed and I could feel why one of the characters did what she was doing. Another character was getting on my nerves but in the end she recieved her comeuppance. I just felt sad an innocent baby was part of it.
The book held my attention from the beginning until the end and I still wanted more.
I recommend this book to read and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

So Many Emotions
Kendrick and Nala continue their work towards making or breaking their marriage while Lady Ice continues to evade capture. When Nala’s student, Jessica, joins the investigation, she brings perspective no one anticipated, leaving Nala to see that she needed to keep a close eye on her student. Kendrick dances on the cusp of relationships...wife and mistress, leaving both women vulnerable.
This could have been a predictable, boring read. It definitely is not. Shifts in the direction of the story kept me interested from start to finish...of the series, and definitely of this conclusion.

She still with the petty B.S. and it was so predictable
I really didnt feel this book at all. It didnt hold my attention or my curiosity i skipped ahead several time throughout the book because there was just to much immaterial information in the book. We all knew why she started killing and i was just so over her hatred for kenrick and crystal she never got over it or moved on she stayed on her petty BS. I was so over it and the ending left me feeling like is that it really and she thought her and her mother was the sane ones.She hated her teal fther but she was just like him and so was her mother. I glad that this was the finale to lady ice.

Wild!!!! And shocking
This was a wild story, even though a lot of women get cheated on would go to the extent that Nala went. Nala was something else. She was way passed a woman scorned. She was conniving and smart with some of the things she did. Kendrick towards the end I felt sorry for him to a certain point. Yes, he cheated and she wanted him to hurt like she did, but his was a different kind of hurt. Nala's mom Dominique was a character herself and the secrets, wow.

Well well
I can’t say how many times I fell asleep and woke up just to see what was going on with Nala but it was worth it I just wish she would let all of that hurt go and truly love again I’m sure we have all felt that way at some point but she went crazy like loco for real but I puke love to see a spin off where Jessica catches her or gets close to catching her and maybe a fairy tale ending with her and Kendrick getting back together great book I enjoyed them all

This was a darn good series
This was my first time reading a genre of this kind & i must sat i really enjoyed it i was glad tht Crystal got her karma but was sad tht Kendrick's daughter had to die but i could see Nala's point he left her with a broken heart so why not return the favor & let him know what a broken heart feels like this author wrote the heck out of this series bc i would've never thought Nala would become a serial killer

Excellent wrap up
Well, Nala is more ruthless and cold than her mother and father combined. Her payback to Kendrick and Crystal was everything! I hate the baby died, but Nala dug deep and served some real payback. Dominique is still the true MVP in my book because she mastered control over her demon. That control will keep her free. I really enjoyed this series! I'm glad I kept reading past book one.
Thank you Charlotte Marshall- Murray

The THRILL, then the disappointment
I loved the entire series, but once I got to the last book, I wanted to know what was going to happen to Kendrick, was Nala going to get her Karma back, was Jessica going to reveal Nala. There were so many unanswered questions. Then what happened to Officer Jackson....? Like we had all these Cameo characters and they were gone in the wind. Like will Nala ever chill and be happy again...?

I really loved this series. I was ,always, never going to stop reading no matter how some parts had her ready to stop readimg.. And that's only because of the type of books I tend to read. However Do not get me wrong ,I have and will read a plethora of different literature / genres. So with that being said I look forward to reading all your work/ literature. Kp up the great work. Coming from a person who💗💗💗💗💗 to read/ from an author who loves to write.

I enjoyed this series....but
Kudos to the author my first time reading her work and I enjoyed it. Totally different from what I am use to reading.... I gave her five stars for content and a good story line.... but the ending was not that exciting it should have had more detail... maybe there is a part 5 in the pipeline because we need to know what will happen to Nala...she needs to be caught by her student Jessica or something.

Great series
Truly a great series with twists that are unimaginable. I actually rooted for Dr Jordan to get away with her crimes. And I think Mark is just going to be her reward for the end of her spree. At least, I hope!!

Excellent read
This series of 3 kept me on my feet. Opened my eyes to reading about what real profilers do. I had no idea how deep it could go. I have never read a book like this. A must read. Looking forward to a 4th book. Hint hint for the Author

WOW!
This was an excellent book but I did not like the ending. Nala needs to pay the price for all those men that was killed by her. I would like Detective Chase and Jessica to solve the murders and for her family history be exposed.

It wasn't a 5 star but it wasn't a 3 so I gave it a 4 there was something missing for me. Adultery is a killer.
