Hush, My Darling by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lila is running away from her past, she thought she would be safe in the sleep town but when she is called to a dead body thing start running away from Lila.

When Lia was in the Chicago PD she investigated a gruesome serial killer but as they were getting closer to the killer he decided to shut Lila up. When she attacks the killer left physical scars but also emotional ones to, settling in the new town as a Deputy she thought she could push all the nightmares away but when a dead body turns up with the words that were whispered to in the final stages of the attack, she believes he has followed her to finish the job, but when a blast from her past turns up thing just spiral into chaos.

Sheriff Benoit is new to the job but not to the town having grown up there she is determined to clean up the corruption which has rotted in the police department for years, but when dead bodies start showing up and they are linked to one of her deputies, things start taking a turn for the worst and throw into the mix a State trooper and it will be a competition to rush to find who the killer is.

I have just pick this series up at book 2 and I read this easily as a stand alone book. I have not gone back at the moment to read the first book but will do in time. This book had me griped from the first chapter and was intrigued to consume as much of the book in one sitting.

I loved the characters of Lila and Elizabeth two strong females leads and both just as sassy and stubborn as each other, the secondary characters enhanced the story and injected more mystery into the story. I do have to say the plot and twists and turns where excellent and the story flowed and held my interest all the way through. I can’t wait to read more of this duo in the future.
