What's Done in Darkness

Rate this book
Fan favorite villain Katrina is back in the romantic thriller What's Done in Darkness from USA Today bestselling author Kayla Perrin.

Jealousy is a strong motive. People kill for love every day...

Jade Blackwin feels like she's losing her mind. After burying both her parents-and being left by her boyfriend for her scheming best friend-she totally loses it. At college graduation, she confronts her man, slaps her BFF, then crashes her car. Now everyone thinks she's crazy. Even her sister, who convinces Jade to take a job in beautiful, restful Key West.

At first, Key West is everything Jade could hope for. The lime margaritas are heaven on earth. Her boss at the coffee shop, Katrina, is friendly as can be. And a gorgeous stranger named Brian is just the thing to help Jade forget her ex. But why is a crime writer asking so many questions? Why does Katrina explode into fits of rage? And why is a killer lurking in the shadows, ready to kill again? No one knows what's done in darkness. But Jade knows she's not crazy. She's next ...

I received this book through Goodreads Giveaways for an honest review. I'm shocked that I haven't come across one of Kayla Perrin's books yet, but what an amazing novel to start with! This book had me hooked from the first page to the last, and I found myself reading a few pages whenever I had a few minutes. She did an awesome job of developing a twisted, unpredictable plot and creating a disturbingly psychopathic character in the form of Katrina. The mix of romance, action and psychological thriller made for an intense read and I can easily say I will be keeping an eye out for other books by Perrin from now on!

apparently this is the sequel to We’ll Never Tell & ehh compared to it i wasn’t really feeling this. the plot was overall interesting but the plot twist weren’t really twisty. i figured out most of them & the ones i didn’t weren’t shocking. Jade was annoying at times, just a solid 2 star. didn’t hate it but not the best

A fast paced thriller that I sped through in about 2 to 3 days. Solid 4 star read. I enjoyed the story and characters though the main character Jade did annoy me at some parts it wasn't enough for me to stop wanting to know what happened next. The villain in this story was a true psychopath who manipulated everyone around them.

3.5 ⭐️ rounding up. I enjoyed this read. Jade drove me a little crazy ignoring all the signs but overall I was invested in the story and read it pretty quickly.

Stopped at 7%.

Didn’t finish due to the book abruptly switching from third person to first person. I literally thought there was some sort of error and it was another book after chapter one.

Katrina was literally insane! That girl def got what was coming for her!

A serial killer??? Like seriously? Are you ok sis? You can’t be. I’m so glad that Jade was ok during this.

I absolutely don’t see why Marie thought it was smart to send her with Katrina anyhow.

This was book was so good and I honestly didn’t expect it to be. Jade is a very naive young woman and she’s in for a ride! I love a jaw dropping book and this one did it for me. If you like true crime stories, you’ll love this book.

Due to the prologue, you know who’s the villain, yet you want to who,e story to unveil. It’s a quick read (read it in 9 hours, even cooked and ate dinner) that keeps you turning the page.
