I love how this book combined an intense and interesting thriller with a more modern approach to crime. The incorporation of the dark web into an intriguing crime story made for a really great story. The moments of light heartedness and amusement really gave an extra depth to the book that made it all the more enjoyable.
The characters were easy to connect with and well developed. The more the story went on the more I found them characters I wanted to know about. This is the kind of book that hooks you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the end. This is a fantastic story that I would certainly recommend.

Wow! Allan Evans did it again and upped the Ante this time! Killer Smile absolutely blew me away, great sequel to Killer Blonde! I absolutely loved Evans’ use of humor in this book. It really contradicted the gruesomeness of the murders and worked really well for the overall tone! I was completely enthralled and dying to know the ending! One of my favorite things about these books is trying to guess who the killer/killers are! I love Cade Dawkins’ dangerous detective life and really hope for another book to continue his journey! Such an intriguing read that will get your heart pumping!

Killer Smile by Allan Evans is a gripping and fast paced story that takes us on a tense ride with high stakes, hidden agendas, drama, danger, politics, crime and investigation, mystery, murder, intrigue, and a game of cat and mouse between a seasoned cop and a serial killer/s with an agenda.
As with his other book, Killer Blonde, there is quite a lot going on in it- with plenty of dramatic developments that kept me flipping the pages to find out how everything played out in the end. I think this is a little grittier and darker than Killer Blonde, which I loved. We return to watch as Cade Dawkins is caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse as serial killers use him as the ultimate challenge. An online, dark-web serial killer chat site has targeted Cade after his involvement in the Killer Blonde (serial killer) case- Cade is being targeted as a ‘challenge’ that he has no control over. He and his task force will need to outwit and out ‘play’ their sinister opponent/s if they have any chance of keeping their city safe. What happens makes for an intriguing read.
Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Evans does next.

Thank you, Allan Evans!

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a great book!! I really enjoyed Killer Blonde but this story had me at the edge of my seat! While you can read this as a standalone I recommend reading Killer Blonde….and Detective Cade is back!! Cat and mouse, mystery, suspense/thriller, crime….

Detective Cade Dawkins is back after stopping a serial killer….but the tides are turning after he is notified of a website that has Cade on their radar….this website is serial killers now targeting him. Once this notice is out whom will outsmart whom? Will Cade be more in danger or will the killers get him before it is to late!!

Another great read and I cannot wait to read more!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I rated this a star lower than the first book, 4 stars instead of 5, because I personally didn’t care for the brutal descriptions of the murders, and felt it wasn’t needed in parts to allow the story to keep on moving. I felt the story dragged at times; for example, it was obvious from the get go there were two killers, but the time it took to get there was slow.

I did enjoy the comical name and reoccurring jibes of the task force name (Five Below). My favorite quotation from the book was”The other two grad students grinned. One said, “Murder vacation: band name.” because it comically relieves a relatively dark book (I felt this one was darker than book #1). I did think the reoccurring stereotypical cop jokes got old after the first few references to donuts. Although I did connect with Cade in his dislike of elevator music.

All in all, I would read book #3 of the series when it comes out and see where it is going.

This book is like watching Criminal Minds – if you like that series, you’ll enjoy this read. Out on the dark web, there is a challenge for serial killers to come and outsmart the detective that took down the Blonde Killer. I wasn’t sure I was going to get into the story at the start, but I kept reading and was glad I did – the ending took me by surprise! I didn’t read the first book in the series, but was able to get up to speed in this sequel pretty quickly.

Allan Evans did it again. Another great action packed story following Cade and others. There are some new characters but they blend in well with the original ones. Who is this new killer? Will Cade survive an attack?

This is an amazing book!!! It took me a little bit to get into I will admit. I couldn’t put it down after I got into it. In fact, I hated to put it down.  Cade Dawkins is a State Patrol Investigator for Minnesota. He doesn’t resemble a cop but boy does he know how to be one. He is giving an opportunity to run a task force but really its just him at least a for a little bit. It becomes evident that there are some serial killers lurking around and its up to him and his team to find them and put them where they belong. There are twists throughout the book and I for one was very shocked about the ending. I never imagined it would end how it did. I feel like I need to mention that there is another book before this book “Killer Blonde”. I have a feeling that I should have read that one first but I definitely will read it now.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I enjoyed his attention to details that made his story feel realistic and easy to read. A well written story where a detective is in a race against time to find some serial killers. Cade has found a web site for serial killers, not only that but they are targeting him as well. Find out what happens to him. He is a great character that is strong and determined. He is relatable and my favorite of the story. The characters add so much to this story’s entertaining value. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. An engaging story that is full of mystery and suspense. I highly recommend reading this book.

He’s back. Cade is on the hunt for another serial killer. Oh, this one is just as good as book 1 was. This has become one of my favorite series. The action is palpable. The story and writing are just as fantastic. This is one great journey to find the killer. I could not put this down. I had several moments of finding I had held my breath during those exciting moments. This is another absolute must read. I can’t wait for the next book.

Another great episode of crime TV! This author truly knows what they are talking about when it comes to crime. Just like Killer Blonde, these killers are very stereotypical. Cade is a great detective, and the author does a great job depicting his personality in this novel. I love how developed the characters are and that the author does not cut corners when it comes to the plot and the characters. I cannot get past the predictableness of the novel, which is why I rated it four stars rather than five.

Also, I want to talk about Reynolds. She is a great character, but Cade had to have known better than canoodle with a news reporter. I am glad that Cade found a new person that will hopefully treat him the way he deserves to be treated. Overall this book is so good and if you love a good crime novel then this series is for you!

 After famously stopping a serial killer, a detective makes a disturbing discovery: a dark website for serial killers has targeted him.

Summoned to a mysterious meeting, detective Cade Dawkins is confronted with his past. A University of Minnesota computer science professor has discovered a disturbing website on the dark web. Made up of serial killers, they use the site to share exploits, brag and offer challenges to one another. But it gets worse. After Cade famously stopped a serial killer in the Twin Cities—and nearly lost the two women closest to him—a new site-wide challenge is issued: Come to Minnesota and outsmart the detective who stopped the Blonde Killer. Come and kill here.

With two killers from the site terrifying the public, the media turning on him, and the governor threatening to fire him, time isn’t Cade’s friend. But then, neither are the serial killers.
