So, Ava continues her downfall, under Veritas's blows - new accusations of murder.
After Ellie being kidnapped, she goes to the precinct, to face a phone call from the vigolante group, ends the day back in the cell, survives a muder attempt on her over the night, and ... the mini novel ends with her as guest of Veritas boss, as part of her pretended decision to join this group. And with her first task as that - to kill Oscar, her colleague and probably her best friend.
Cortin down, and we'll see in the next episode if she shot in him, or at him and missed :-)

On the run and without many resources, our heroine is severely challenged in her efforts to clear her name. This might just be the end of her career, if not her life as well.
This is book eleven of the series, and the fifth book in the second story arc. I recommend starting at the beginning of the arc (if not the beginning of the series).
The story is a police detective mystery. The story is well written and easy to read while done as a serial, so each book will build on the last during this arc. We get a nice setting and intriguing characters which is always a big plus. The plot moves at a good pace and includes plenty of action and intrigue to keep it moving. All other the elements combined for a quick and fun read which definitely left me reaching for the next book.
Highly recommended.
I received an ARC from the author for review purposes.

Detective Ava Locke is still on the run while Veritas is still after her. Will she ever get her life back? Will the other detectives ever believe her again? She goes through so much you keep wondering how can she continue to handle it all, and will she be able to prove her innocence.
Oscar her partner seems to be the only one to believe that she didn’t commit the murder she’s being accused for. She wonders if she will ever defend Veritas, or will she be killed eventually by them. Then everything changes in a big unbelievable way for her. The ending is heart stopping. Makes you wish the next book was out today.

Ava Locke is on the run and Veritas is still running the show, framing Ava for crimes she did not commit. With no one to trust, she has to face her fears and try to outsmart them. This is an action packed story that keeps your heart pounding until the final page. I would highly recommend it. I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Well this was a complete turn of events! I understand why Ava is doing it and why she can’t tell anyone, but that ending? Shocker.

Fantastic story
Full of excitement and intrigue swirling around Ava. Interesting twist and ending to the story.
Ava had to make a choice, and she did.
Ready for finale.

This is book 11 of the Detective Ava Locke Series. Veritas has been killing people. They use people and then get rid of them when they are no longer needed. Ava was framed for murder and put in jail. The same jail where she works. She suspects that there are unethical officers there working with Veritas and she trusts only her partner Oscar and Mark. Ava is now at a turning point after being jailed again and is given an ultimatum. A deadly ultimatum…. The ending is a cliffhanger. I need more! I received an ARC copy from the author and this is my honest review.
