Killing Eva
The sensual trilogy of Eva and Clive concludes in the hotly anticipated follow-up to Loving Eva...
It started as a crush. Then a kiss. Then fifteen years of separation, and the agony of not knowing where or how to find Eva, the only girl he’s ever loved.
And when she returns to him it’s like a dream come true. He’ll never let her go.
She’s his beginning. She’s his end. She’s his now, and his forever. Then how did he let it come to this? How did he lose Eva?
He’s got to find her. He’s got to bring Eva back… or go where she’s gone.

"How did she ever get so lucky?"
Killing Eva is the third and final book in the In Light of Shadows Series. Eva and Clive have been through so much and finally, it seems that they can begin to relax and enjoy just being together. And yet, a killer is still on the loose and Eva's life is still in danger. Clive is fiercely protective of Eva and will do anything it takes to keep her safe. As tensions rise, Clive and Eva must cling to each other in order to survive.
"She wasn't out of trouble yet."Told in multiple POV, Killing Eva is a sensual contemporary romance with suspense, intrigue, and tender romance. The supporting characters play a pivotal role as the series unfolds. Clive is by far my favorite character in the series with his fierce love for Eva. The plot in the series is complex and there are numerous twists and turns with every page turn. Overall, Killing Eva would appeal to romance readers who enjoy suspense, intrigue, and an alpha male hero! Each book in the series must be read in order. This is Camellia Hart's debut series and I look forward to reading more from this author!

Can you imagine living through a traumatic event and then living your life plagued by that fear? That was Eva. She survived almost drowning only to find herself in dangerous situations, time and time again. If coming face-to-face with the informant wasn't enough, danger was still lurking around the corner, coming from the most unlikely source. And guess what? I was right! I guessed who was the mastermind behind all of the threats and I was spot on. I love being right. Being right made me love this story even more! 😈😈
In this final instalment of the series, the author efficiently brought this story to a close. Eva and Clive are closer than ever, wedding plans are under way, and they're just about to figure out who has been trying to manipulate them all along. To find out exactly what happens, read it for yourself. Killing Eva ended up being sweet and tender with just the right amount of suspense to keep things interesting. For a debut series, the author has created something that will stand the test of time and she's found a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

It’s down to the wire, the monster in the shadows is foregoing their minions and coming in for the big finale, taking down Eva. Meanwhile, Eva and Clive’s mothers have plans of their own in the making for Eva and Clive and Eva is nowhere to be found…
Camellia Hart’s KILLING EVA is the big finale where everything will come down to that one defining moment.
Ms. Hart has created a tremendous suspense-filled series with some fabulous and edgy twists and surprises. Clive is the quintessential hot, handsome and in-control alpha, out to protect his woman, Eva. Sometimes overbearing, sometimes not, he was a powerful character. Sadly, I never connected or believed in Eva as a character, she just fell flat, and yes, that made a big difference in how I felt about this trilogy. The sex was a little too often and repetitive, jarring the fluidity of the suspense and the rest of the story adn to be honest, it wasn't sexy.
A terrific big reveal on the villain, a good wrap on the suspense portion of the trilogy! I really wanted to love this series, but I just didn’t and I know I am in the minority.

Review in my blog: https://elsentirdeunlibro.blogspot.co...
Review
This is the third and last book of the trilogy “In Light of Shadows”, written by Camellia Hart.
This is the end of the story, so I can’t tell a lot because I don’t want to say something important about the plot or the book’s development.
In this book, Clive and Eva are together, they are enjoying their relationship, they are in love… but they don’t forget that someone dangerous is outside, eager to hurt Eva. We will read about the rest of the characters (her friends, his brother) and their relationships too.
In this third book, you will find love and passion… and a lot of suspense, because we will discover who is the informant and the one who is the real evil.
And OMG! I didn’t expect who finally is! I discovered the truth while I was reading a scene and I thought: “Mmm… I don’t trust this character…” And at the end, everything is discovered… those last chapeters are completely amazing!
About the characters, I believe they are very well defined:
Clive. As in the first and second book, he’s very romantic, protective, sensible… I have loved this character. Because he shows with every detail and word that he’s completely in loved with Eva.
Eva. She is the same strong and independent woman who we knew at the beginning of the story. And she is a very good friend. I have really liked this character.
Allie, Izzy, Marc, the uncle Dave, aunt Jamie, Carter, Ryan, Trevor… they are very, very important in the development of the plot.
“I love you, dammit. I cannot let you suffer like this”
About the author’s writing, she has created such a wonderful and romantic story with a fantastic part of suspense which has made that you couldn’t stop reading. She has also created amazing characters very well defined. And the way that she writes, she makes you feel what the characters are feeling and in the love parts, she makes you sigh and, in the suspense parts, she makes that you suspect of some characters.
I have to say that, in the last chapters, when everything is dicovered, you will feel like the characters: Eva’s strenght, Clive’s desperation and both’s love.
I believe that the author has known how to develop the suspense part in all the story, I mean in the three books. She has known how to connect them and that we didn’t know who the evil was.
“She loved this man. And he loved her”
Will Eva and Clive be able to live their love? Will they finally be together without any danger? Who is the informant? Who is the person behind him, planning everything to hurt Eva?
If you want to answer all these questions and enjoy a fanatastic reading, READ this trilogy.
I have really enjoyed reading this story and I have loved the characters. And I haved enjoyed the end too.
I really recommend you this trilogy and the author. Seriously, give it a chance and you won’t regret.
I will read more of her books.
RATE: 5/5

This finale in the series is a long time coming, and every bit worth the wait. Camellia Hart does a wonderful job wrapping up this romantic suspense series. The story picks up right where we left off as Clive and Eva continue to face personal and relationship obstacles. A threat to Eva's well being looms just as Clive and Eva take the next step in their relationship. Clive couldn't be more protective and in turn he steps up the investigation.
I really enjoyed every aspect of this story. I loved being in Eve's head as she mulls over her future. I tend to highlight moment I want to remember or reflect back on and the entire chapter 12, one related to a luncheon. She captures some incredible moments between this couple that conveys the tenderness and intimacy in their relationship. I just really enjoyed how these two become one as they make decisions about important events in their future.
These decisions aside, danger lurks and Eva is not safe. Someone is intent on harming her and as their motivations become clear, and the culprit become evident. The ride is wild as Eva fights for her life and faces down her biggest fears.
The story is a great mix of romance, humor and suspense. Clive and Eva are a match made in heaven. The playful nature of their relationship bodes well for their future. I'm happy with how this wrapped up and commend Ms Harts skillful writing.

Our story continues as the danger heats up for Eva. In this novel the threats against Eva are getting serious. Clive feels like his world is upside down. He has his own demons to deal with and the aftermath that he worries will make Eva leave forever. Clive cannot, will not live without Eva. He will not lose her again.
Eva's business is in jeopardy. She not only in fear of her life, but fear of the lives to those she loves as well. When she is threatened with death, she seriously considers stepping down from the business to protect everyone. But she must move forward and stay strong, but will her deepest fears be her downfall?
In this book Eva and Clive's relationship evolves even more than before. They cannot live without each other. Craving each other. Getting lost in each other. Their bond unbreakable. Their hearts are one. They are addicted and it shows in the steamy scenes. These two are such strong characters. They are amazing.
"Her longing for him, her love for him was so real, her eyes stung from the emotions that tightened her chest, warming her, soothing her, exciting her about all that the future would hold for her and Clive."
Overall this last book is just as good as the rest. It ties up the end with a pretty big bow. The love of the characters carries this story and the danger levels in this on are pretty high. Man, the very beginning of this book will have you gasping with a WTH?? "No that can't be right. Right?" It really grabs your attention. About mid way through on this one you start to guess who the puppeteer is pulling all the strings. You will be shocked. I know I was when it was all revealed.
This is a action packed, steamy hot novel that will keep you turning those pages. But don't forget...you have to read Chasing Eva and Loving Eva first, or you won't know what the hell is going on. So if you love a good erotic, hot drama filled with danger suspense and plenty of twists to keep you guessing, then this is the book for you.

In the final book of the In the Light of Shadows series Killing Eva is going to leave you stunned! Clive and Eva are in love and finally have that perfect romance, but that informant is just getting started with tormenting Eva. With Clive’s past haunting him and Eva on the brink of corporate ruin it won’t take much for the informant to get the couple to let their guard down, so he can get close to Eva. Clive and their friends will stop at nothing to keep the informant from Killing Eva. This story is a roller coaster of action, drama and so much sexual tension you can cut it with a knife. Camellia Hart is an excellent author and brought these characters to life. Obviously knowing what true love really is, Hart perfectly described Clive and Eva’s whirlwind romance. Killing Eva is another 5-star read for Camellia Hart. So now can we have a story with Allie/ Marc or Izzy/ Carter or Trevor/Tina? Please Mrs. Hart???

In the conclusion, of the In Light of Shadows trilogy, Killing Eva, you will be at the edge of your seat guessing who wants Eva dead and why. Camellia makes you feel for the informant. What a life he had lived. Will he help Eva and get away from his tortured life? I loved this book and looking forward to reading more from Camellia. Thank you Camellia for sending me this ARC.

If I had any reservations about this series, which I didn't, this book would have blown them out of the water! I was suitably curious after the first book and completely invested by the second, so this one was the icing on the cake for me. I adore Eva and Clive so I was eager to read the conclusion of their story, and Killing Eva did not disappoint. Twists, turns and surprises abounded, with plenty of steam and a nice dose of humor, but the mystery and suspense are what kept me hooked. I was shocked to find out the identity of the antagonist, but as I suspected, looking back I could find the breadcrumbs leading right up to the bad guy. This series is an exciting, compelling read and I definitely recommend it.

Omg, Camellia Hart brought it in this final book. Wow, what an ending. Clive and Eva has been through so much but through it all it was worth it. This is such an amazing series and I can't recommend it enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. This climatic ending was nail biting perfect. Well writen. Captivating story.

Killing Eva is book 3 in the Light of Shadows Series. This is a series that MUST be read in order. Each book continues where the last one left off so you definitely need to start with Chasing Eva.
In this thrilling ending to an amazing series we finally get answers to the questions that have been haunting us from the first book. Not only are we faced with finding out who is behind the informant giving away the secrets about Eva's company, but Clive's past is also being brought up by a mysterious person and threatening everything the two of them have built.
The chemistry between Eva and Clive is still off the charts. The way that Clive is there to support Eva in everything going on in her life made me love him even more.
This book had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Throughout this series I have tried to make guesses as to who the informant is and who the informants employer is, but once I began reading this final book I was dying to figure it out even more. Every time I thought I had something figured out a new twist or turn would be thrown into the mix.
This is a must read book and series for sure. It has heartbreak, romance, suspense, drama and everything in between. You will not be disappointed. - By Alisa

This is the third and final book in the series and it definitely had me devouring page after page totally invested in the outcome of this suspenseful story. I cannot praise this debut series from Camellia Hart enough so I'll leave it at this.... if you are looking for a read that is filled with funny, sexy, suspenseful, intense moments that will have you on the edge of your seat captivated and immersed in the story, then this is definitely the book for you!

The trilogy is complete and it’s everything you could hope for. It had intrigue, suspense, hold your breath moments, a who done it or how many were involved in this drama, romance, gasping for breath moments and finally the wrap up. I must admit I had a few questions that didn't get answers that I’d like to know.
It’s difficult to write this review because I won’t discuss what happened ( cause you want to read the trilogy) so you just have to be interested in how I felt about this book.
It made me laugh at one point because I actually felt bad for the two main characters and it had nothing to do with the mystery. It was more the part where your family and friends take over your life and you never asked them to but you don’t know how to stop it. You can’t say what you’re really thinking cause you love them so you just play along. Admit it, you’ve been there. I said in the first two books that there’s a lot of truth in the characters of this story. Once again it didn’t disappoint.
Eva, still has her issues but once again she acknowledges them head on. There was one point I wanted to yell at her and say, “Stop it!!!”, “Stop being so nice”!!! I’m applying my own way in which I would’ve reacted in the situation. The author obviously is a much nicer person than me.
In this book we get to see a little darker or should I say deeper side to Clive. I liked it. It made him seem more real. He was much more intense, especially with Eva.
I have to tell you I had my own list of suspects and theories. Cause who doesn’t want to solve a mystery? I’ll just say I am smiling. I read a lot of mysteries and courtroom drama. Seriously, I started a list of suspects and a list of questions.
The secondary characters were definitely more prominent in this book. They had to be. The author did a fine job of creating different scenarios and diversions to keep you on your toes and guessing. There’s still one character I wanted to throttle. They just rubbed me the wrong way. I wanted to see some redemption for this person or evolution for them. It never happened. Guess what, that’s what makes this more real. Some people don’t change and we can’t always get what we want. The one area I would’ve like more of is I would’ve liked to see more detail at the end of the book.
To sum this up I’ll just say this is a series that deserves to be read. It will definitely hold your interest and deliver all the feels. If you’re looking for more than a romance or more than a happily ever after then you definitely want to read this series. To the author I say,” Well Done You”!

An absolutely outstanding series that I devoured in no time at all. This story was exceptionally well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. Everything comes out in this book. All the secrets, all the lies, all of it laid out before all that matter and the reader's eyes. Everything comes to a nail-biting head as Clive and Eva's wedding is planned by their mothers, the informer make a bolder attempt to scare Eva out of her company and Eva and Clive's love grows even stronger. But things come tumbling down around Clive as one missed meeting, one small moment in time where everything lines up and allows the informant's boss to take Eva, right in broad daylight. The search is on and Clive is hanging on by a thread to find his one true love. He feels the past trying to strangle him as he realizes that it's happening again. He didn't protect her. He didn't go with her to that meeting. All of the shoulda, woulda, coulda's go through his mind in rapid fire as his fear for her life rises, leaving him unable to breath by the chest crushing emotion. He has the resources and uses every single one he has. His FBI friends have him surrounded, doing everything they can to try and find one little clue as to who has taken her. She's vanished, right into thin air.
That's all you get from me. You will most definitely want to read this captivating story line and see just how things end for this couple, and for Eva's friends. I cannot recommend this book and this series highly enough! Five plus stars for this Author's work!!! Fantastic!!!

*Five Stars*
*Ebook kindly provided by the author and I’m leaving an honest review*
Killing Eva is the third and final book in In Light Of Shadows Trilogy. It was also told in dual, third person POV, with addition of another POV – which I’m not telling who it is – you have to read it. Seriously, you have. I’m so pleasantly surprised how this POV was developed, it was devious, evil-ish, with a background story of the character to see or some what understand what were the character’s motives and why the character’s nature is the way it is.
This is the most suspenseful book of all. There are so many twists and turns, it’s unpredictable. I need to congratulate Camellia the way she developed her villains. Honestly, there were so many clues that the suspect could be anyone. Not until the ending could I at least predict who is.
The threats are getting serious. Eva’s life and company are in danger. Clive is torn and pulled in many ways: his past is looming and thinking Eva will leave him if she gets to know the truth. The secondary characters play really important and key role in this book and help development of the main characters. Clive, Eva and their friends wanted to relax and forget about their problems but then something happens and their trip was cut short. Eva is afraid not only for her life but also the life of her loved ones and friends. Clive wants to protect her. He doesn’t want to lose her or even to live without her. Not when he finally find the one to spend the rest of his life with.
I loved the sexy, steamy scenes between Clive and Eva, the light, passionate moments between them, conversations filled with banter, the way they crave each other. They are both such strong, stubborn and vulnerable characters. Their love becomes stronger every day. Clive and Eva cannot imagine their life without each other. In this final book they need each other even more than ever.
Loved the ending. It’s what they deserve after all the troubles and danger they went through.
Each book in the series MUST be read in order. This is Camellia’s debut series and it’s really amazing, filled with so much love and so much heart. In my opinion it will attract the readers who love contemporary romance and romantic suspense mixed with mystery, intrigue, an alpha hero and strong, fierce heroine. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Killing Eva is the third and final book in In Light Of Shadows Trilogy. It was also told in dual, third person POV, with addition of another POV – which I’m not telling who it is – you have to read it. Seriously, you have. I’m so pleasantly surprised how this POV was developed, it was devious, evil-ish, with a background story of the character to see or some what understand what were the character’s motives and why the character’s nature is the way it is.
This is the most suspenseful book of all. There are so many twists and turns, it’s unpredictable. I need to congratulate Camellia the way she developed her villains. Honestly, there were so many clues that the suspect could be anyone. Not until the ending could I at least predict who is.
The threats are getting serious. Eva’s life and company are in danger. Clive is torn and pulled in many ways: his past is looming and thinking Eva will leave him if she gets to know the truth. The secondary characters play really important and key role in this book and help development of the main characters. Clive, Eva and their friends wanted to relax and forget about their problems but then something happens and their trip was cut short. Eva is afraid not only for her life but also the life of her loved ones and friends. Clive wants to protect her. He doesn’t want to lose her or even to live without her. Not when he finally find the one to spend the rest of his life with.
I loved the sexy, steamy scenes between Clive and Eva, the light, passionate moments between them, conversations filled with banter, the way they crave each other. They are both such strong, stubborn and vulnerable characters. Their love becomes stronger every day. Clive and Eva cannot imagine their life without each other. In this final book they need each other even more than ever.
Loved the ending. It’s what they deserve after all the troubles and danger they went through.

Wow, what and ending to this all consuming love story filled with lots of great sex, intrigue, action, obsession,guilt, blame and forever love.
All is revealed and despite the title, it was a happy ending for Clive and Eva. I did figure out who the villain was but not until about 3/4 of the way through this book. I did shed a few tears and laughed a bit. But over all I wish I could experience a love like Clive and Eva had.
I very much enjoyed this series and it was very hard to put down as I was drawn in completely by Clive and Eva's story. I loved the descriptions of the houses and spas throughout the series and really who wouldn't want to live is Clive's apartment!
Eva is a strong character who endures so much in such a short period of time after her father's death. And Clive who has lived with guilt for so long. The secrets all came to light and demons laid to rest. Their story was not smooth sailing but it was realistic and believable. Their friends we like people that you know, friends you have even though they were very successful people. In the end love does conquer all or in Eva's case most everything. I am so glad that I was asked to read the first book in the series because I am not sure that I would have discovered this author otherwise. I was one wild, romantic ride and I loved every bit of it.

Killing Eva is the third and final book in Camillia Hart’s In The Shadows trilogy. We finally learn who is the informant and why he/she wants Eva out of S.F. Designs. This is a story of romance, trust, facing your fears, and suspense.
I enjoyed watching Eva’s and Clive’s relationship become even more cemented. They continue to have great chemistry and some of those scenes are steamy. Clive is still very protective and supportive of Eva and occasionally blames himself for things that happen. He encourages Eva to face her biggest fear. Eva is still that strong heroine who wants to continue her father’s legacy and not give in to the informant. The author did a good job of addressing how one feels when experiencing a crippling fear and how it remains scary while working through it. Some of my favorite secondary characters are a little more prominent in this book, which I really liked. I would love for some of them to get their own books, especially Izzy, Carter, and Ryan.
All of the loose ends are tied up in this book. The mystery continues throughout Killing Eva until the last 15%. I will say that I was able to figure out the culprit pretty quickly, but I still enjoyed the book - wanting see what lengths this person would go to, seeing how the everyone figured it out, and learning about why this person was after Eva. Like Loving Eva, the book is predominantly told from Clive’s and Eva’s POV, but there are some chapters interspersed throughout the that are told from the informant’s POV. I think that this was wise on the author’s part. This book didn’t end abruptly as the other two and it was tied up nicely with an epilogue.
I received this book as an ARC and I voluntarily leave this review.

I really enjoyed this story – the conclusion to the ‘In the Light of Shadows’ trilogy, where we are once again treated to a well written romance that’s also a thrill ride of action and suspense. As the threats against Eva ramp up, she’s given an ultimatum with repercussions on many personal levels. Since the villain continues to stay one step ahead of them, will Clive have done enough to safeguard Eva when the final play is made? I enjoyed the lighthearted banter between the couple and their families and friends as they tried to maintain a sense of normalcy despite living in a fishbowl. I admired Eva’s bravery but wondered at times at her common sense when she willingly put herself in danger. I liked the epilogue dated six months after the culmination of events, but missed not knowing the reaction of their families and friends when all was finally revealed. As with the previous books, this story brings the heat along with plenty of drama, angst, secrecy, deceptions, intrigue, and humour.

ONE INTENSE EXPERIENCE!!!
Talk about one spectacular climax. Camellia really pulled all the stops on this bad boy. When your racing against the clock, every second counts. Put on your grown up underwear, roll up your sleeves, tie your ass-kicking boots on and start stomping 'em down. You have it all and then some. Action packed, fast paced, nailbiting, nerve racking, rollercoaster ride with hard hitting suspense and danger that keeps you captivated as this page turning bombshell plays out. All the heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping excitement and adventure keeps you on a razors edge. The scenes were so vividly detailed and descriptive that it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. The characters were intriguing, complex and realistically on point and life like. Mesmerized following the characters as their personalities transformed and blended to become stronger than ever. Camellia wields her words as skillfully and precise as a surgeon with his scalpel. Camellia pulls us into her imagination and weaves a world around us until nothing else exists. Phenomenal job Camellia, thanks for sharing this remarkable tale with us.

Oh how I’ve loved reading this series! They’re equally as good and thrilling as you’d expect after the first book. The conclusion for Eva and Clive’s story was exciting and suspenseful, loving and protective yet there was a few things that irked me and made me reduce the star rating.
Those two things are:
1) The use to the word ‘dammit’ or ‘damn it’ was annoying and uncalled for in the story. It’s repeated multiple times throughout the book.
2) I understand Clive wanting to be protective, but when it was his POV, he came across more obsessive than protective and I didn’t like that. Some people could call it a little creepy and overbearing. I couldn’t deal with a relationship like that.
Other than those two points above, the story was brilliant. And you’ll have a hard time guessing who it is, that’s for sure! And I liked that... I had it wrong! This story has the right mix of romance and suspense with a pinch of hotness. Perfectly put together with those things, that’s for sure.
This series has captivated me all week and I can’t believe I’ve finished them already *sad face*. I really hope this author writes Izzy and Carter’s story because I’ve been left intrigued at where they’re heading.

Killing Eva is the third book in this series and we get to read about Eva's and Clive final journey to their happily ever after.
Wow,this book is my favorite from all three.I just loved it more because of the banter between the family and friends ,the suspense and angst is more than never growing with each page turned and the love for Eva that Clive feel is just of an obsessed man really but nevertheless understandable when you find The One that is meant to be for you and try to protect and keep her,although there are evils people who try everything to separate them and her life is still in danger.I really liked how the author address the fears of Eva and how she is trying to overcome them and also all the support that she gets from secondary characters (which I hope they will get their books someday) Sexy steamy scenes as usual and their relationship and love grows more every day with every obstacle that appear in their path to find happily ever after and their lovely wedding.
And what a twist and end to this lovely journey of second chance romance after fifteen years of never forgetting the only girl that kept Clive wanting all of her in his life.
A better written story,more suspense and love that overcome everything in life.

Excellent Series
Great Job Camilla Hart, I absolutely love your debut series. Even though I figured it out , and I was right technically. Because I figured out you was paying the Informant, not the Informant. 🤷🏽♀️. Eva and Clive definitely deserved some happiness. There life was so suspenseful and dangerous. Clive could be my man any day. He was there for Eva through thick and thin. He was her ROCK without a doubt. He loved her with every fiber of his being. If she didn’t survive her ordeal, you might as well have killed him too. Your story was suspenseful, romance was hot, and definitely entertaining. Whenever I had to stop reading, I couldn’t wait to return home to pick up where I left off. Had a few questions? Did the find Aunty Jamie? What happened to Carter and Izzy? And was he at Wedding.
Look forward to your next book.

Omg!!! I was glad to read this book for an honest review. You have to read the two books before this for sure. This book picks up right after Chasing Eve. Clive and Eva are doing wondering now that they have each other. They are celebrating their engagement it’s their family and friend but there’s still that little thing of an informant and who he’s working for that’s still haunting Eva. Who is the informant working for? Omg....wait til you find out. You will never see it coming. This book has everything you want in a book...romance, love, suspense and crazy friends. There’s never a dull moment in this book.
You will love the conclusion to this series.
Will Clive and Eva get their HEA?
Happy reading!!!

Killing Eva by Camellia Hart was a SPECTACULAR ending to the trilogy! It had me on the edge if my seat, and I just could not out the book down for one second.
The third novel answered a lot more questions than the first two did. I'm still left confused by a few things, but anyhow, what happened I did not predict at all. The ending was completely unexpected and had me on the edge of my seat. The authir did an incredible job on this novel.
As for Clive and Eva, I fell in love with them even more! As a couple and as individuals. They both were strong when times were tough, and their love for one another shone throughout. I am so glad to have met them and to have read their story.
Killing Eva is a gripping story that completes Eva's and Clive's journey together. It was unpredictable and completely addictive! Couldn't have finished this story any better! Bravo!

This has been a great romantic suspense trilogy. Someone is out to destroy Eva, going as far as threatening to kill her. Who is the person behind the informant? You won't be able to guess. This was an enjoyable trilogy filled with lots of suspense and danger. Sometimes I felt Clive was a little too protective of Eva and both of them just couldn't stop touching each other, but overall, the story kept my attention and it reads pretty fast. I liked Clive's friends who were helping out to protect Eva.
You could read this in a day because you won't want to put it down. This trilogy is well worth your time. I do wish I could have read this trilogy back-to-back as the story flows seamlessly between the three books.
I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is the ending in the In Light of Shadows trilogy and it is a perfect ending for the suspenseful series.
As Eva and Clive try to convince their Mothers they want a small wedding, someone is still after Eva to leave her father's company. She wants to find out who is behind it and why. Clive wants to keep Eva safe and he has a gut feeling something is about to happen. So he beefs up security around her just to be sure.
This series is full of twist and turns and the person/persons after Eva is a shocker that will having you asking "why?" But you have to read all three books to get the whole story and understand what is happening.
Will Eva be able to figure out who is behind the informant and what they are really after? Can Clive keep her safe in the end? Will Clive and Eva get the small wedding they really want? Will Clive's past come back to haunt them?
I have loved this series from the beginning but I do have to say that when I say the title of this book, it scared me a little but after reading it, it's absolutely perfect. So get this series, sit back, buckle yourself in and keep your hands in. This is one roller coaster ride you will enjoy!

What a series, wow!!!
Great last book to this series!! I had a pretty good feeling on who was behind everything and I was right! Sad that it was that person but I'm not revealing who it is because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read this yet. So happy that everything worked out for Eva and Clive, they deserve it. My only wish is that there was a little more at the end wrapping up a few loose ends. Like the investigation about Olivia and what happened with some minor characters. Maybe spinoff books in the future for them? Otherwise, really really enjoyed this series, it kept me on the edge of my seat.
