Stripped (Stripped Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Angela Hayes

Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

Stripped is the first book in the Stripped series by Stacy Deanne. This is the first book by Stacy Deanne that I have read, so I was curious by what I might find. The blurb intrigued me- and I love all things romantic suspense, so I happily snapped up a copy and jumped right in.
This is an interesting story full of intrigue, suspense, a cult, a creepy factor, murder, drama, spice, and plenty of mystery. I discovered that this is a spin-off from a previous series, and I really wished I had known that before diving into this book. Even though this could be read as a standalone, I am left wondering if reading the other series first before starting on this one would have enhanced my reading experience of this book and help to fill in some of the background and a few questions I had. I will be going back to explore the other series to find out what happens there and to see if it makes a difference here.
The story was quite gripping and intense at times, with a great ‘mystery’ to unravel- but I do feel that the story lost momentum and the flow lagged at times, but thankfully that didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.
I am looking forward to Book Two, but in the meantime, I am off to check out the Bruised series and compare notes.

Thank you, Stacy-Deanne!
