Killer BlondeKiller Blonde by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me, I enjoyed my first book and I look forward to reading more from him. This is a suspenseful story that is well developed that has characters that bring the story to life. The characters made the story enjoyable to read and they are connectable. This is a fast paced story that is engaging. There is a serial killer on the loose killing women who all look the same. The killer has an agenda but so does the investigator Cade. As the story becomes a cat and mouse game, I highly recommend reading to find out who is the cat and who is the mouse. This is a great story that has twists and turns you don’t want to miss. Don’t miss out on this book, it was worth the pick up.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance suspense story. This is a well rounded story written by a great author. I enjoy her attention to details that made the story feel realistic. The characters are both connectable and engaging. This is a fast paced story that has twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is Kayla and Jaxson’s story. She is running from an abusive relationship. Not wanting to put her family in danger she runs to the one person she can think of, her brother’s best friend. Jaxon made a promise to his best friend but this time around he won’t be able to keep that promise. What will happen when the past comes to the present in more than one way? What will fate have in store for them? They are great characters that made the story easy to read and fun. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Twisted Secrets is the first book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops Series by Amy McKinley. This romantic suspense is a fast paced wild ride that I just couldn’t put down. The story is based in Hawaii and it just made me want to get away. Riley and Xander have great chemistry and witty dialogue.Amy McKinley is turning into one of my go to authors. I like shorter stories that grab you right from the start and this one does just that. I look forward to reading the second book in this series.

Twisted Secrets is the first book in the Deadly Isles Series. It is written by a new to me author, so will most certainly be reading more of her work. The writing draws you into the story and keeps you very intrigued. This story has it all let me tell you! Crime, danger, suspense, drama, attraction and love. There is betrayal, deception, and of course murder. My favorite thing was the absolute instant attraction between the main characters. The story does take place in Hawaii. Riley is a college student who works at a coffee shop. Xander is an injured soldier on military leave. You are kept guessing until the very end. Definitely a plot twist. Was very surprised on the end for sure. I loved every minute of reading this story and was not disappointed at all. It is a great read!! Can not wait to read book 2 in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As soon as I finished the first book in this Deadly Isles Special Ops Series from Amy McKinley, I knew I was hooked and needed to read all the words in any future books to come. For me personally I would read the first book, Twisted Secrets, before diving into this one. There is a steady storyline that does play throughout this book as well and I felt as if it just made things that much more enjoyable for me as the story progressed. This one shares more of Jaxon and Kayla’s story that may have left you wondering how things turned out in book one. You will get all the answers here. This book will destroy you at times and you will want to make sure you have a large box of kleenex, at least I did. I love how McKinley brings the characters to life so vividly that you feel as if you are there. It is present in all her novels but I do have to say this one series is shaping up to be my absolute favorite of hers. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

Capturing Fate by Abbie Roads is a fast paced and exiting paranormal story that really will suck you straight in. This book really is an adventure from start to finish. I was hooked on what was happening and knew that I had to find out how it would all end. The author really keeps you on your toes throughout the book which for me just made it even better.
The characters were brilliant too. They backed up the strong story line with a great depth and intrigue about them both. You easily connect with them and really jump on board with their journey. This is such a well written and captivating book I would highly recommend it to everyone.

This book was awesome. I love this series. I cannot wait until the next one. I will honestly read anything Amy Mckinley writes. This book was Jaxon and Kayla’s story. How their romance started… ended… and why. It was a heartbreaking story but written so beautifully. Jaxon is the oldest of the Hale brothers. He is a former navy seal and currently helping the police captain by covering while he recovers from surgery. Kayla has found herself in an abusive relationship and needs to get clear of that situation ASAP. It was perfectly written.

Amy Mckinley is starting to become one of my top authors, i have enjoyed so many of her books lately. And this was no different. It is the second book in the deadly ops series but can be read as a stand alone but there is mention of characters from the first book as they are all linked, so i do recommend starting with book 1 first. This is a second chance romance Kayla and Jaxon have history when they are kids but move on, Kayla has no one else to turn after her brother Kieran dies and she needs to get away from her abusive boyfriend, she goes to the one person she feels safe with her brothers best friend Jaxon. This is not what Jaxon expected to ever happen, but the pull between them is too strong. Can he save her?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. The story line between the main characters regarding the romance is wrapped up, but there is a piece of story line that is left open that has been continued from the first book.
I enjoyed the premise of the story and learning more about Jax and what happened that caused Kayla to have such ill feelings toward him, as mentioned briefly in the first book. While I found the overall story a good read, I did feel that there were some parts that were repetitive. That being said, the twist near the end was good.
If you have a sensitivity toward domestic violence, there is one particular scene that may trigger you.
Looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is book two in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. This author has mastered the military romance, and stamped her unique writing style all over, making the barre being set incredibly high for other authors of this genre. The characters are always intriguing, mesmirising, strong, courageous and charismatic. And that is just the leading men!! The women are brave, compassionate, understanding, resilient and unbreakable. Brave men need these powerhouse women, and Amy McKinley provides a plethora of action and adventure and enough passion to ignite the pages. Bound by Secrets was a memorable mix of attraction, angst, aggression and apprehension. Kayla and Jaxon share a past and he wants a future. Kayla is running scared and Jaxon has his work cut out trying to prove they are meant to be. Jaxon is what every man wants to be and Kayla is an inspiration and someone to look up to. Neither are perfect, but they are perfect to escape with. A classic story of love that is both edgy and addictive. 4 stars.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This novel left me wanting. While I never ever judge a book by it’s cover, this one looked really intriguing. However, after I started reading the novel it seemed kind of dry. Amy McKinley is a wonderful and talented writer. This novel had a great story line. It just wasn’t delivered in a relatable way. After the first few chapters it left me wondering what was happening and I was confused. I get that not all novels are relatable, but this one should have been. At least somewhat relatable. It is beautifully written though and McKinley does deserve credit because she has written wonderful novels before. Now this is one readers opinions and not meant to persuade anyone either way. Try the novel yourself and see if you like it. You never know you may.

Twisted Secrets is the first book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. The main story between Xander and Riley wraps up, but there is a cliffhanger to the other part of the story line.
Overall, I enjoyed this story. The characters are interesting and the plot is intriguing. The only struggle I had was the way that Riley’s friendship with Mel developed. It seemed like there was something missing that got them from point a to point b, but I may have just inadvertently missed a key point somewhere in the story.
A promising start to a new series.

I am always excited to dive into any new book by this author and it was no different with this one. Jane Suen always manages to pull me in to the story from the very beginning, and just like every other book by this author I was able to read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down.

This is book 2 in the Eve Sawyer mystery series, and while you can certainly read this as a standalone, I would suggest reading Murder Creek, Book 1, first.

I enjoyed all of the mystery, twist and turns, unexpected moments and captivating characters in this story! It was everything I expected it to be and more! I can’t wait to dive into my next read by this phenomenal author asap and would highly recommend this book to others!

I am not sure what I expected when I grabbed this book but I simply couldn’t put this page turner down. From start to finish, this emotional roller coaster kept me glued to every page. I was completely entranced by the character backstory, the thrilling suspense, the relationships. To say I found this tale from Roads to be binge worthy would be an understatement. I couldn’t put it down until the last word was read and I cannot wait to read it again. Spellbinding.

I have had the pleasure of reading several books by Ms. McKinley and enjoyed each and every one, but this book grabbed me in a way the others have not.  Was the location?   I mean it does take place in Hawaii.   Was it Xander?  A large hot muscular man with a protective streak could definitely have something to do with it.  Could it be because Riley works at a coffee shop and I might have a slight coffee addiction?

But honestly the book just hit me and I found myself gasping when some happened or was revealed that I wasn’t anticipating.  I evem found myself reading during a migraine which I never do.

I loved Xander and Riley and holy cow the chemistry was instantaneous.   I’m already looking forward to the next book and I’m trying to figure out which brother is going down next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder at Lolly Beach is the second novel in the Eve Sawyer series by Jane Suen. It picks up shortly after the first story, Murder Creek, during the summer between semesters for Eve.

We get to meet more of Eve’s friends while she heads to the beach with her friend Cassie for some relaxation. Too bad it quickly turns into a trip not even remotely related to relaxation. After Cassie’s friend in town is attacked it all goes downhill from there. Unfortuntely for Eve, her curiousity prevents her from sitting it out and just enjoying the beach.

I enjoyed this novel because you get to know the main character of the series better! Sometimes I wish there was a little more “meat” in each chapter/scene, but this is a quick, interesting read!

When you are in slump after a mission has gone wrong and you start questioning things in your life, in walks an angel and you believe everything will be alright, or will it.

Xander is a navy seal but when his mission with his team goes wrong and causes him to have to take some down time to recover he feels that sometime just was not right with the intel, bit he has more to worry about when his girlfriend decides to leave him he feels like the world is working against him. One day all this changes when he hears a voice that he is instantly drawn too but will he be able to convince the owner of the voice they belong together.

Riley is a grad student, working in a coffee shop to help with the funds but one day she see him, the man who she can’t get out of her mind although she is in a relationship but what she thought was in her past, may invade her future.

I loved this story and I love Amy McKinley’s novels and this is just as good as the other stories. The chemistry between these two characters was brilliant and drawn you in. The writing draws you into the story and keeps your attention from the first page to the last.

I also think the secondary characters enhance the story and make this a un deniable great read. The tale twists and turns and brings both of the characters history to light which just adds to the mysteries within the story. I not only recommend this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series but if you love this book you need to read the other series by this wonderful author.
