Pisces

Zodiac Killers #4

by W.L. Knightly

Finn Wheeler, Pisces of the Zodiacs, has waited years to be taken seriously as a filmmaker, but when his recent trip to New York is upset by someone who is killing off members of the club, he can’t wait to get out of town. But with all of his backers jumping ship, including Bay Collins, Finn will do anything to keep the only man he’s ever loved in the game.

Detective Darek Blake, the Zodiac’s very own Sagittarius, is still walking the line as he and Lizzy McNamara make a trip to Virginia to hunt for clues at Camp Victory, but will he be able to deter her when the trip retraces his own steps the night Emily Johnson died?

Bay Collins, the Zodiac’s Scorpio and leader, is tired of being out of the loop and feels the others need a reminder of just who's boss. Will he waste time trying to convince them, or make a power play that will show the killer who’s really running the show?

The case turns on its head when passion and power collide.

This book was about Finn, the Piscies of the Zodiac group.
He is a movie maker. He has a girlfriend back home. He is looking for investors for his new movie.
This story revolved around Finn and Bay who has become an integral part of the series.
I didnt enjoy this book as much as the other books.
It was very slow moving and didnt go forward as much except in the last few pages.
I hate Bay so much. I wonder what will become of him.
Im not liking Lizzy either as Im getting suspicions regarding her role in this case.
I wonder where the tale will take us in the following books.
I received an ARC from the author. I voluntarily give this honest review of the book.

I was planning to finish the series but now having second thoughts. The story line is thinner than a dehydrated reed and the books seems to have descended to soft porn.

A Tangled Web of Secrets

Oh WOW!!! Ali Parker and Lexy Timms are on a roll with this awesome series and it is a must read!!! This latest installment of the Zodiac Killers will blow your mind with all the twists in this thrilling plot. Of course you have Darek being a detective riding a fine line of hiding his ties to the Zodiacs and investigating the murders while trying for a position in the FBI. With everything going on with the murders Finn has come from California to get investors for his film project and guess what...his sign is Pisces. Finn has a girlfriend back home but he is in love with another and will do anything to prove his love, even the unthinkable. This book gets a little risky when Seth, another Zodiac, and his wife show up at a sex club and swap partners with Finn and his date and Bay and his wife. Bay is a powerful lawyer but he is also the leader of the Zodiacs but is not to be trusted by any means. In this book you will find out what happened to Hannah and who is responsible. Just when you think you have it figured out, BAM, a new twist. Are they getting any closer to finding who the killer is?? Must read this book to find the answers. I'm loving this series and waiting for more!!!

Thank you Ali and Lexi

WOW!! Just wow - another page turner in the series (Book #4) - each book in this series keeps getting better!! I was completely engrossed in this one - well all of them actually!! I love the way the boys from Zodiac are introduced and weaving them through each of the stories. Once I started, I couldn't put this book down. Just like the others, this one takes you through the emotions so much that you are rooting for their demons to be overcome for one but hoping another gets what he deserves and for relationships to work out and everything else in between. An intense read that you don't want to end...except you want to know who's behind everything. Just when I have it figured out something else happens to where I have no idea. Loved how the setup to the next book was so intriguing. I cannot wait for Book #5!! The story line is amazing. Please, please keep those books coming!! This is definitely a must read. In fact, all readers should buy the entire series not only because they are so fantastic but each book lures you into needing to read the next book! You won't be sorry!!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book. Wow! Another amazing addition to this series and I have been patiently waiting for this installment. I am addicted to this series and there is so much emotion, suspense, on the edge of your seat moments that I couldn’t put this book down. Darek and Lizzy’s romance is spiking and intense but evil is lurking around the corner in the face of Bay and all we can do is hope that he gets his in the end or will he keep Finn tangled in his web? I always think that I know what’s going to come next and I’m always wrong, it’s what I love about this series that you are kept in the dark, guessing, it’s not predictable. I loved this book, highly recommend it along with the others in the series so you understand what is going on with all of the characters involved.

[Grace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book 4 of a very long series and it wasn't disappointing. I enjoyed it very much but i felt that the plot was a little lost amongst all of the sex and crazy happenings. The ending though did make me want to read the next book as it makes you think that a particular person is behind the strange murders and the rebirth of the zodiac clubs nightmare. I did also feel that all these characters are eventually going to get confusing. I struggled remembering who Logan was and his back story and the introduction of Finn also made me confused. Loved him in the beginning. Hated him by the end. The next book would be focused on Seth but it was a little nice that book 5 character was also mentioned. Not sure that i will read the next book anytime soon. I was a little shocked at how graphic this book is.

Does not bode well for the rest of the series

This installment introduces us to the Pisces of the group. It is clear that the writer had no clue what to do with the Finn character beyond making him closeted gay. Funny and Bay spend the entire book repeating the same conversation with Finn coming to the same conclusion every time. He then resets to his default crush on Bay.
The rest of the book is unnecessary porn-type filler, probably an attempt to distract the reader from realising nothing much happens.
SPOILER
This doesn't advance the underlying murder mystery and a reader could probably skip this volume and save themselves $5. After all there are 9 more volumes to go.
Ends on usual cliffhanger.
WL Knightly up to this point wasn't a great writer, but this book definitely solidly falls in the bad writing category.
Wouldn't recommend.

[Magali · Rating 5 out of 5]

I still love this series, even if it’s getting scaryer each time.
This part is quite hot with an orgy in the first chapters. There are lots of events.
It’s Finn’s book. He works in film Industry and he’s financially involves with Bay. Bisexual, he’s attracted to Bay but also Seth. Bay is still the manipulative one and he tries to trap Seth and Finn. He’s more and more scary .
We finally discover what happened to Hannah (Tad’s sister)
Darek and Lizzy go in Virginia for the investigation where all the story started. Darek is stressed that Lizzy discovers the secret of his past. In the same time, their relation slowly evolves with their attraction.

I voluntarily reviewed this ARC.

This series is amazing and I am impatiently waiting for the next instalment.

There are so many great plot lines, including that of Darek and Lizzy’s relationship. Finally, these two got together, and I really hope their relationship progresses as I think they are good for each other.

We experience most of this book from Finn’s perspective, the Pisces of the group. We also have more of an insight into Bay’s behaviour, and learn how twisted he is. So many plot twists I really can’t make up my mind who I think is the killer.

This book is well written and has great characters.

Dont do it

For the love of gawd dont do it. Dont pick up the book, you will never be able to let go.
I successfully went a month cold-turkey without even reading a page. Guess what, I HAD to come back and finish. Curse this vice-gene that keeps dragging me back to these books. And now that i’ve finished this one I’m going to have to buy book 5. I can only be grateful there’s only 13 books so that at least I know there is an end to all of this. That i will not be 50 years old still spending my savings on this book series.

[Denise · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. The drama continues in book four as Finn tries to win Bay's love and approval and Darek takes his chance with Lizzy while trying to keep his zodiac connection a secret. We learn what happened to Hannah and how far Bay will go to protect himself. Unfortunately, we are no closer to finding out who the zodiac killer is, though we find some others that are willing to kill.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 5 out of 5]

How far will Finn go to prove his love for Bay? This darkly twisted tale continues on, and the stakes are ever higher! Little by little, more secrets are revealed. I am so addicted to this series! Who is truly good, and who is truly evil? So many players, but so far the jury is still out. This was such a steamy and twisted book. Bay is a master manipulator, but is he the killer? I can't wait to read the next Zodiac book!

[Chrissi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I want more!! You know sometimes when you read a book and you are so engrossed in the story that you get to that one page, where you flick but there's nothing?? Yet you continue to try and flick because your brain hasn't registered the books finished. This is one of those books!!
The storyline is continuing along it's beautifully twisted path, with secrets, betrayals, suspense, murder, and a little action- the steamy kind 😊
This series is definitely one you NEED to read. It won't disappoint !!

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy s**t this series is amazing. This book is totally hot and I’m constantly guessing who the killer is. I’m so excited for the next book. Finn has the pisces mark and is the next target, however Bay is pulling his stings pretty tight. Darek is getting closer to Lizzy and things are hotting up there. Definitely recommend this series and author

[Gerry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Voluntary review of an ARC. I am really getting hooked on this series. The plot is so interesting, a great who done it. The character development is very well written. Bay is showing himself more and more to be a despicable SOB. Darek and Lizzie are getting closer with a little bit of sex thrown in. And the bodies are piling up. Can't wait for the next episode. Recommended

[Joyffree · Rating 4 out of 5]

♓ AND it just gets better....
This is book four and I am not sure how but the series just gets better as we move further into it
More twists - More "WTH" moments - More suspense -
More of everything I look for in a dark and twisted thriller
Another absolutely spin tingling on the edge of your seat suspense ..

[M Rosey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't too sure about this series when I started reading it, but the more I read, the more intrigued I am. I like how each book is one around 150 pages, and are like chapters in a larger novel. I have my suspicions, but they have me guessing as to who the killer really is. It's a fast paced series and I'm off to read the next one.

[Heather Vandine · Rating 5 out of 5]

4th book in the series and just as amazing as the others. This is a suspenseful read with twist and turns. I love it and can't wait for the final book. I recommend this series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Lightening · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m really loving all of the suspense and gore. My only issue is I don’t like Lizzie. She seems so moody and I can’t deal with her hot and cold attitude. I do love getting all the different POVs especially Darek’s and Bay’s. They’re the most interesting to me.

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well this one took an unexpected turn. It looks like everything is unraveling really fast in this book. Bay is looking more and more crazy, while darek is able to keep it together.

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story is becoming very interesting, I am about to dive into bool #5 straight away. There are definitely lots of clues in the storyline to suggest more than one person as the killer but I am hoping that the suspense can be kept up until the last book in the series.

Teenage needs / Prices to pay later

Really enjoying the book series and knowing how evil B. Collins is keeps giving us a preview of what’s in store for everyone in the “club”..... language is definitely R rated , but still couldn’t stop reading going to Aries next.

[Felicia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Don't love this book in the series because I honestly don't feel like it adds or subtracts anything to the story as a whole. Almost felt like a lot of fluff (it clearly builds up to the next book but in way too many, diluted steps).

[Melissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the best one so far. Focused more on the sex than the mystery, a little disappointed by this one.

[Leonie Cooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Suspence

I like the follow on, it keeps things interesting. I feel sad for the deaths of the zodiacs and those associated with them

[Rich · Rating 5 out of 5]

I continue to enjoy this series, that Bay character is a real narcissistic psychopath, Im not into the whole Darek and Lizzy relationship, Aries is next up

[Bernadine Sydow · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series of books has grabbed my interest and I will continue reading the rest of the Zodiac books. Just one murder after another. Who is the one doing this?

[Naznin Azeez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Slightly slow moving than the previous books but definitely nothing less sinister!.

[Dee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have now read the first 4 books, I will not be buying the other 8... the storyline is OK but I don't think it warrants 12 books....

[Taya Conn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Actual pages 258 - 5/5 stars we love a plot thickening book, love how they all intertwine with one another and the cliff hangers they lead off of. My long lasting prediction stays the same
