My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading Nicholas Harvey’s forward introducing us to Nora Sommer. I knew right away I was going to like this chick! The book starts off with action and suspense and has you going all the way through. I especially enjoyed the Florida and Grand Cayman descriptions that added to the intriguing story line. One of Nora’s hobbies to clear her mind, is diving which I thought was so cool since I also like to dive and got to read about the different Caribbean fish she came across on her dives. Nicholas Harvey’s writing was fast paced yet easy going and I look forward to the next book in the Caribbean Suspense Series and may need to go back and read the AJ Bailey Adventures as well!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book from this author that I’ve read. I see there is a prequel but I haven’t read it, and thankfully I never felt confused or lost. I loved that this book had a storyline that sucks you in and makes the story come to life (in my mind). I’m an empath so I tend to take on peoples emotions or feelings (even when reading), so when this book had sooo many plot twists and turns I expected to feel queasy. However I felt somewhat excited, full of anticipation, and felt on the edge of my seat. That never happens for me, usually I need to stop reading and take a break! This book was well written and easy to follow. A fast paced – page turner kind of book! Overall really good suspenseful read, strongly recommend!

Deadly Sommer (Nora Sommer #1)Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Sommer is a book about a young rookie officer who recently joined the force on a small island in the Caribbean. Weeks into her new job, a girl is kidnapped and the young officer finds herself alone, thrust into a game of challenges that she must complete and she has to play by the kidnappers’ rules. As she begins these challenges she realizes it wasn’t by chance that she was the one selected, the kidnapper chose her specifically, and when her losing means the death of the kidnapped girl, failure is not an option.
I really enjoyed this book. It had a good story and was an interesting read. You find out early on who the kidnapper is, so you are left to solve the “why?”. The kidnapper is not asking for money, they have a purpose for taking this girl and for the way they did it. I enjoyed following Nora through these seemingly random challenges and reading her thoughts along the way. I did have to take away one star because this book has a very slow start. I usually appreciate an author painting a picture with words to draw you into the story, but this seemed excessive. There was too much description in some places to the point where it distracts from the story. Fortunately, the story is good enough that I still think it is worth 4 stars.

This was my first book by this author and WOW! I am a HUGE thriller and suspense fan and I really enjoyed this. It was fast-paced and action-packed! It was also a relatively quick read and I did not want to put it down (even when I had to), plus the bonus of it being set in a sunny and warm place was perfect too!

This will not be my last by this author and I am looking forward to finding out what happens next for Nora! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers!

This is not only a suspenseful story but it is a “game”…..the game of challenges for new policeman Nora as she was chosen to partake in a series of challenges to free a girl whom is kidnapped. Once you start in the story, you really get thrown in to the web of lies and deceit and the kidnapper whom is in the midst of these challenges has an agenda. Will Nora be able to finish each task to save the girl whom was kidnapped? Definitely read and find out! If you like a story that really is hard to put down with suspense, agendas and heart stopping moments this book is for you!! I am looking forward to book 2!!

Full of crime, suspense, mystery and more this story really has everything a reader needs. Having read several books by this author before, I knew that I wanted to read this one as soon as I saw it. Nora out main character is strong and beautiful and really pulls the story together. But I didn’t just love her, the supporting characters on this book really helped pull it all together too. Needless to say I loved this book and I personally can’t wait to get my hands on book two.

Deadly Sommer: Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense – Book One by Nicholas Harvey

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Nora Sommer is a character that made her way into the author’s mind. She is now starring in her own series. This is the first book in the Nora Sommer Caribbean Series.

Nora Sommer is now on the local police force. She never thought that she would be there, but she is. She’s usually a rule breaker, but now she’s a rule follower. She’s now being watched and her face is all over for people to see. The quote I chose for Nora is: “A camera and transmitter. He’s watching us.”

Highly recommended for Crime Thriller lovers.

This is a great book for lovers of suspense and thrillers. There was quite a lot of intrigue surrounding the kidnapping that played out well. The only reason I didn’t give it more stars is that it read more like a sequel than the first in a series. There were some backstories referenced that seemed like something that would have happened in a previous book that were not really explained or touched on.

Phenomenal, edge of your seat read. Had me hooked from page one & the initial kidnapping…First time reading author Nicholas Harvey, however it won’t be my last!! Easy 5 stars! Can’t wait for Nora’s next adventure! Will go back & read the prequel, Finding Sommer, as well as the AJ Bailey Adventure Series.

Nora Sommers is settling in as a tough as nails heroine; newly assigned consulate to the Cayman police force, when her & her new partner are swept into a complex plot set in motion by a grieving husband, while on patrol. Full of twists & turns, Nora raises against the clock in order to save the hostage & solve the crime.

Action packed & full of suspense, I found that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!! Thoroughly enjoyed the sprinkle of humor and the tropical island references too! Highly recommend

Deadly Sommer is a book that I would pick up from the bookshelf because the cover looked very intriguing. The read was great, and very suspenseful. I enjoyed it being set in such a beautiful place, and it really sets the mood for the rest of the novel and a complete game of cat and mouse. I would recommend reading this book and would love to read more by this author. The main character, Nora will do whatever it takes to save a young girl. It kept me turning the pages wanting more.

I wish I read the previous books that Nora was in ! Girl you’re a hardcore survivor! All is not as it seems and the past doesn’t always stay hidden , sometimes it comes back to haunt you …..

Nora hasn’t had it easy and I think she thought Cayman Islands was going to be a fresh start for her and it was until a young girl disappears , desperate to save her she has to face and complete challenges …….

A brilliant read that had me on the edge of my seat at times and biting my nails , in between packing my bags to head off to the Cayman islands ( the author really makes you want to go there ) I was a bit of a nervous wreck 😉

Looking forward to more time with Nora ❣️📕

Let me just start this with WHAT A FAST PACED thriller. We are met with Nora, a new Constable in the Cayman Islands. She is thrown into a situation she never dreamed of.

I do wish we had more of Nora’s background and why she was “chosen” for this particular situation. We are told part of her story but not the whole thing. Maybe that will come in the next part of the series.

This story was fast and full of dread and hope. I highly enjoyed everything this had to offer!

This is my first book by this author, and it was great! There are previous books where Nora, the main character, shows up but I did not feel like I was missing anything while reading this. I think it was a great introduction book for the character. The storyline keeps you on your toes and makes you want to know what will happen next. The ending was tied up nicely and answered all my questions. I would definitely read this author again!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nora is a native Norweigian who is living on the Grand Cayman Islands. She is a newly inducted Constable with the local police department. This particular area doesn’t see a lot of crime but Nora is chomping at the bit to do “something fun”. Little does she know that her life is about to change!
Entering a house that had a sign that lured Nora and her partner, Nora finds herself in a dangerous mind game with a girl’s life at stake. Can she maneuver through these grueling tasks that this insane kidnapper is demanding, while knowing that he’s livestreaming every step she takes?
This is a new-to-me author but not much longer! There are other stories that give a little bit more of Nora’s back story but I don’t feel like I missed a lot by not reading them prior. The author gives enough background to grasp the gist of her story. I do look forward to going back and reading other books that contain her character to see how she progresses. This book did not disappoint and kept me on the edge of my seat!

Twisting, Turning and Hiding My Kindle in the freezer… This thriller has it all… This is my very first book by this author and let me say I will be returning to read everything they have written!!! I am very picky when it comes to suspense novels as most don’t have enough backstory or as many details as I would like. Not with this author!! You will find yourself needing more and after you go on and read book two you will sit around tapping your fingers waiting for book three… begging for more!

Deadly Sommer (Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense Book 1) by Nicholas Harvey – Review by Maryn Belling

Deadly Sommer is the first book in the Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series by Nicholas Harvey. If you’ve been waiting to meet a new female main-character built of tenacity, grit, gumption, sass, and resourcefulness (and a past) Nora Sommer is who you’ve been seeking!
Deft storyline creation with compartmentalization that ring of Tom Clancy or Shakespeare, Nicholas Harvey brings us into the world of the Caribbean. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a seasoned traveler, details bring the water, land, and people to life with familiarity and uniqueness.

Appealing to natives & transplants, Nora’s thinking brings us all together: “Home can be about familiarity, where you were born, or where you spent the most time, but ultimately it came down to people.” Her youth belies wisdom & experience.

Added bonus: Norwegian swear words!

Deadly Sommer
By Nicholas Harvey
5*
This book is the best type of suspense. The type that is filled with believable characters and a believable storyline. The main character is Nora and she is new to the Cayman Island Constable force. She has taken this position after facing a tragedy. She is also the first to admit that she is only alive because she does not want her friends and family to feel what she is feeling right now. She also is the lucky chosen constable who is tasked with participating in a series of games to free a hostage who is being held by a mad man. This mad man is Live Streaming every single one of these games and the entire world is watching and waiting to see what will happen to Nora and this hostage. The Cayman islands are a nice peaceful place that don’t see this type of crime frequently, to say they are unsure how to handle this is an understatement. Add to this, the hostage is the daughter of a prominent American businessman. In comes the FBI to help the American citizen. What they see is that this is they type of case where no amount of experience will help. What will succeed is following their gut.
This story had the most amazing characters and was an amazing look at family and friendships. It also was a look at how people handle trauma. I’m not sure that the author set out with this to be the purpose, but it struck me that many of the characters had faced a recent trauma and were responding in very different ways. I will most definitely be reading more of the Nora Sommer Books!

He gives you suspense! There’s so many twists and turns in this book, it had my attention from the start. I love the crime, the thrill, the suspense! So many times while reading I wanted to pick up the habit of nail biting lol just because I was anxious. The main character, Nora, is just an all around badass! Highly recommend this book!

Nora is a new police officer in the Royal Caymen Islands. Her first case is a kidnapping of a wealthy business mans daughter and she was “chosen” to play the game and have Skylar returned or lose, and she is killed.
Nora is already struggling with her own demons and past, now she is forced to undergo multiple challenges and solve the game to save a life.
This is a first in the series book. The attention to detail is amazing but sometimes a little too much. Still an excellent book and can not wait to continue the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was fascinating to me. At first, I struggled to connect with Nora, she seems closed off and doesn’t enjoy talking to people, and seems to not have many friends or meaningful relationships and the reason for that is devastating and explained later in the book. The book follows Nora, a young and new officer whom a kidnapper personally chooses to go through his challenges in order to save the life of the kidnapped girl. The challenges were unique and meaningful and all part of a bigger picture. I did end up enjoying the fact that Nora was not so touchy-feely as most women I read about. She was strong, a survivor of hard times, and authentic. She was also insanely smart and creative during the challenges and I absolutely loved watching this unfold. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. I enjoyed the end much more than I thought I would it took a different turn than I expected which I loved. I would definitely recommend reading this if you want unique suspense.

She’s so smart and although she’s a rookie constable, I think she has the potential to be a real badass! Plus, the story takes place in the Royal Cayman Islands.

The author did a great job keeping you intrigued and entertained with the suspenseful story telling.

What is there to say about Deadly Sommer? Well it reminded me a lot of the movie Untraceable. There’s always a story to tell. Especially once one resorts to kidnapping.
Nora Sommer, nineteen, and new to the Cayman Island police force thought she was going to have a normal day. Well boy was she wrong. Getting looped into a 4 challenge scheme to rescue the daughter of a prominent Florida business man Donovan Briggs.
Jensen Massey is trying to prove a point. That his wife was murdered and that it was covered up. So he kidnaps Skylar Briggs and enlists Nora into helping him with his game. “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” Broadcast online for anyone to see. Jensen has a message and doesn’t plan to stop till the family he feels is behind his wife’s death is brought down and held responsible.
Will Nora get through all 4 challenges?
Does Skylar end up hurt and/or dead?
Where does the Briggs family fall into all this?
The author keeps you intrigued and guessing on what will happen next. Weaving you through a story of corruption, lies, and the benefits of having friends in high places. Unfortunately an innocent young woman is used as a pawn to get the story across. If you like suspenseful thrillers this book is definitely for you!

Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey is book one in the Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series. Overall, I am so happy that I took a chance on this new to me author. The book was fantastic and suspenseful. Nora is a police officer in the Royal Cayman Islands. She is 19, has had a rough go at life already, and brand new to the force. The story is in first person which is such a great perspective and there is not really a romantic aspect which was refreshing. With as relaxed as the islands are, this type of crime was the furthest thing from anyone’s mind. And Nora was the lucky chosen one. I definitely recommend this book and I am so excited to read more in this series!
