First things first. The WaterFyre Rising series is absolutely amazing! I’ve read the first four and have been hooked since! I’ve always wanted to know more about Arrow and what happened to him since we get glimpses of him in the previous books. Needless to say I squealed for joy when I saw that he finally got his own book. Reading more about way he is the way he is just absolutely broke me. Getting to see him healing was a balm to my soul. Now, seeing him meet Vivian was an experience to read about. She is an absolute firecracker and has no problem throwing verbal punches when she needs to. I loved the back and forth between the two, and watching Vivian interact with the rest of the group was heartwarming. Now the most important question! The gamer in me needs to know, when do I get to play this amazing game they’ve been building?! It sounds so much fun!

This book has everything a good mystery needs, family secrets, money issues and attempts on someone’s life. I thought the characters were developed enough for the story line. There were twist to the story that I didn’t seem coming and played well to the overall plot. I will recommend this book to others as it was a very enjoyable read.

Come Home to Death had a lot of potential, but I just didn’t love it. It could have been a better book than it was…. The story was a good idea, but I really did not care for the main character, which made it hard to enjoy the book. Erica was such a weak character, she annoyed me. Never spoke up or stood up for herself. Made poor choices. Fell in love too quickly, more than once. I also figured out Doug’s character far before it was revealed. I think the author hoped we wouldn’t know until the very end, but it was predictable. I didn’t hate the book. It just was not a favorite… I will try another by the author- the book had a good story line, just needed stronger characters, or something to make the reader connect to them.

A book that should be added to (I’m sure Lengthy) TBR list, just go ahead and add it right now.
I really enjoyed this romantic thriller (if I were categorizing it). Levinson’s writing is very engaging, and thought provoking. There was certainly twists and turns I was not suspecting, which I enjoy. It’s always a buzz kill when you can figure out the plot twist, it’s best when you weren’t even close. While reading Come Home to Death, I certainly learned some new vocabulary (thank goodness for the dictionary feature on the kindle).
This was my first read by Levinson but certainly not my last.

You absolutely need to read this book this summer. Starts with poor Erica being tricked and lied to by her husband, and the lies don’t stop there. Erica tries to help her husband by doing whatever she can possibly think of, even potentially severing some lifelong friendships. Along the way, Erica starts to find her voice and builds new friendships/relaionships. Everyone should read this!

Erica has only known Terry for a very short time but marries him because she is in love. Erica has left her home with her two aunts and did not look back. But, when all is not as it seems with her husband, Erica returns home. This book had some twists and kept me guessing. Enjoyable page turning read!!

Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson. This book was amazing. It is my favorite book I’ve read so far this year! It was fast paced and thrilling and left me guessing every page I turned! I can’t wait to read more by this author. This is the story of Erica who was raised by her aunts and once she left home she vowed never to return. She is a newlywed of 9 months and her husband is away on another of his business trips. While home alone some thugs show up telling her Terry, her husband, owes them money. Erica was left a inheritance and returns home to see if she can cash it in to pay her husband’s debts. When she returns home she finds out she has to be 25 to get her money and then she will be really rich. The only problem is some bad people want her gone so she can’t cash in on that inheritance and will do anything to get rid of her. Her life is in danger and Erica is going to have to figure out who she can trust and who she can’t. Such a fun fast paced Thriller. I was sad when it ended!

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising Book 5) by Nadia Han. This is my favorite genre, romantic suspense and this book was every bit that. It’s the 5th book in the WaterFyre Rising series and can be read as a standalone but I always recommend reading them order to get the most out of the story. This is the story of Vivian who is a dentist and a martial arts teacher. Vivian has had a hard past and is ready for a happy life but with her past the way it was she is very closed off and doesn’t let many in her circle. When she meets Arrow, a retired Navy Seal, he is smitten and insists she goes out with him but she shoots him down. Arrow is not giving up though, he’s determined to get her go out with him. He goes so far as to buy the apartment block she lives in and plans to wear her down. Vivian finally starts to give in and they find out they are more alike than they thought. When Vivian tries to find a missing girl and Arrow has his own danger in the midst. This book will keep you turning pages late in the night to find out what happens!

This book is wow! This is a romantic suspense with some kick-ass that will leave you in awe. Arrow and Vivian are two people that want to fight the attraction as they have different focus. They will eventually come together to rescue a little one in trouble. The action is palpable and the romance is great. I love this author’s writing. This is a fantastic series that often leaves me feeling that I’ve just been on a wild ride. These are some fantastic characters that will take you for a ride as they are on their mission. I can’t get enough of this series.

Vivian and Arrow’s story is one about love and reclaiming yourself after trauma. Vivian had one traumatic incident that changed her life while Arrow had lived his trauma for many years. When they found each other, it was intense and fast.
Vivian had moved to Providence to search for a young girl possibly taken by a memory Vivian didn’t want to remember. But Vivian not only had to face the memory but everything that went along with it to help save this girl. Arrow was willing to help but Vivian had to let him in.
As Arrow and Vivian grew closer, they were able to find the missing pieces of the puzzle to save the young girl. This also led to finding more people willing to help Arrow and his boys on their mission to destroy the international criminal organization, Trogyn. As Arrow and his boys continue to dismantle Trogyn, they face bigger and more powerful danger. As they gather allies, the battle doesn’t look as daunting.
Another stellar episode in the series! This one goes along all smooth and then BAM!!! Drama, intrigue, exploding teeth, and excitement. Hold onto your Kindle because you never know what is around the next corner!!

I absolutely loved this book. It took a bit for me to get into it, but once I was, I loved it. I’m not normally a mystery type person, but this book is so good at sucking the reader in while the FMC tries to navigate the hand she’s been dealt. Absolute 10/10- and I highly recommend!! I‘ll be sure to check out other books by the author as well!

I love love love this series. I really thought it was going to end with book 5, The Strategist. So I can’t tell you how happy I am to find out there will be more! I’ve been hooked since book 1. These are books you could read as a standalone novel, but they work and flow so much better in succession. The Strategist is Arrow’s story. And being there were originally 5 friends creating the WaterFyre rising video there’s been more characters introduced to take the story further. Arrow and Vivivan dance around one another. He wants her. She wants him but not enough to give him a chance. She’s been through some trauma’s in her life, which is why she keeps her heart closed off. However she’s on a mission to find her friend’s daughter who went missing 9 months ago. What she doesn’t realize is her mission is going to intersect Arrow and his friends’ journey to take down The Trogyn organization. Forcing them to work together. Working together works best when trust is involved. However with their rough childhoods one might not believe it’s possible. Can they both let down their walls to trust one another? Will Vivivan finally give into the feelings she has for Arrow? Can two broken souls mend each other? Just like all the other books in this series. There’s romance with a little action and adventure thrown in. Stubborn characters who care mightily for those in their circle. A group of friends do thick; they are hesitant about letting new members in. Yet they embrace everyone’s family as if it were their own. I can’t wait for book 6. Till then I’m contemplating about starting the series over. It’s all worth it! If you haven’t started it, go back to book 1. And if you have what are you waiting for book 5 is out!!!

What another wonderful book in this series! The story is very intricate! I love all the criss cross story lines and characters. I struggled to out this intriguing one down. While Arrow is great I really love Vivian. She is one strong, smart and a woman who takes no bull. Yes she has had a hard life but she has grown and changed from it. Her resilience is what all women aspire for. I really enjoyed her story. We meet some new characters and see older ones.
I thought this would be the last book but nope! So I look forward to the next!

The honeymoon for Erica Parker is over after 9 months. At that time her life changes and someone is out to kill her. She can’t stay as her husband’s gambling debts need to be paid and her husband has disappeared on a mystery trip. She can’t go home to the little town she is from because someone there does not want her to get her inheritance. This has to be one of the most intense mysteries I have read in a long time. So much going on and so little time to read. The author has written this story to keep her readers engaged. Some of this story could be so true. It makes you keep reading. Fast paced, great characters and a romance to remember. A must have for all readers.

Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson is a romantic suspense book. When Erica Parker is found and questioned by two terrifying men about her husband Terry, she is terrified and confused. She has only been married for 9 months and knows little about her husband’s work. Erica soon finds herself in a nightmare turned reality as she finds herself in a very tangled web and does not know who she can trust. This story had a good premise. There are plenty of twists and turns. Watching Erica try to figure out who was targeting her was interesting. I liked her aunts and felt they meant well. There was a very good use of vocabulary, which also helped keep the writing interesting. Lovers of suspense should give this book a read.

Erica was raised by her aunts in her hometown, and when it came time to leave she vowed to never return there. After marrying her husband, Terry, just 9 months ago, she is visited at home by two thugs who claim Terry owes their boss money from racking up gambling debts. Conveniently, Terry is gone at the time on one of his many business trips which leaves his wife’s life to be threatened. Although she swore she would never go back to her hometown, she has no choice if she wants to have a chance to actually come up with the money, so she heads back to see if she can get the rest of her parents trust left to her.
Upon returning, she discovers that awaiting her 25th birthday will make her a very wealthy woman. Unfortunately, someone else knows that as well and is trying to keep her from reaching the special occasion. Along the way, Erica learns a lot about who she can and cannot trust, not to be so naive, that help doesn’t always come from places you expect, and more. Full of mystery, intrigue, growth, drama, secrets. Will Erica discover who is on her side and who isn’t? Will she be able to pay off her husbands debts? What else will she learn along the way?

This was another new-to-me author, and she told a good story. There were some twists I didn’t expect, which I love! There were a few sketchy characters in which the author leads the reader to believe one truth about them, but will have you second-guessing yourself as you read.
Being newly married, Erica Parker comes home to find thugs looking for her groom (Terry) to claim a debt he owes. On the lookout for safety, Erica returns to her hometown; a place she swore she would never revisit. While there, family members and close family friends begin to show their true colors when word gets out that Erica is about to come into a large sum of money. In a few short days, she will turn 25 and become an overnight millionaire. Now, she has a target on her back. What are those around her willing to do to get a piece of her money pie?
The author uses extensive vocabulary. 1/3 of the way through, I enjoyed learning new words. However, 39% through the book, it started getting on my nerves. It was almost like she knew what word to use, researched synonyms, and picked the longest word possible to replace it. In addition to that, the chapters were incredibly long, and I’m not a fan of lengthy chapters. They were roughly 22-35 minutes per chapter.
Overall, it was a good read, and I would check out another book by her.

The Strategist is the fifth book in the fantastic ‘WaterFyre Rising’ series by Nadia Han. I have been captivated by this series right from the beginning, since first devouring The Mastermind- and this book certainly lived up to expectation. Ms. Han certainly knows how to weave an enticing story, the way she has deftly woven each book, focusing each instalment on its own particular ‘couple’, but also building a gripping, overarching storyline that wends its way through the series- building on what has come before, and instalment by instalment, painting a much bigger and more intriguing picture/story. ‘The Strategist’ is an engrossing contemporary romantic suspense with a former Navy SEAL, a bit of a billionaire romance element, intrigue, dramatic developments, danger, chemistry, sizzle, angst, tension, secrets, forced proximity, emotion, family, friendship, intensity, mystery, violence, action, the Triad, sinister enemies, agendas, evil bad guys, a powerful criminal organisation, trauma, pain, hope, healing, a dynamic & multilayered storyline, and superb characters (& more). This is Arrow Holt and Vivian Vo’s story- whom we have both met in previous books, as Arrow has been an integral part of the Waterfyre family since the beginning, and Vivian is friends with the Waterfyre women. Vivian has huge secrets that have shaped who she is and the path her life has taken. She is haunted by the past and has trouble trusting, building a wall around her heart in the process. Arrow had pursued her in the past, but she had rejected him as her plans don’t include love and romance. But she is drawn to him, and running into him at a wine expo only fans the embers of attraction into flames. Arrow has his own scars and memories that haunt him, but Vivian seems to have a way of soothing his demons- and Arrow wants more. He is a brilliant entrepreneur whose strategies have made him a formidable opponent- and extremely rich in the process…. He now uses his strategic mind to dismantle every wall that Vivian had built, and to devise a way to make her his. Add in a dangerous quest, agendas, intensity, sizzling chemistry, and searing passion- and their story becomes unputdownable- and one of the best of the series. As mentioned, even though each book has its own couple and storyline, all the books combined help to build a much bigger picture, providing morsels of information on the other recurring characters, the backstories, overarching storyline, and all the intriguing Waterfyre details. The whole Waterfyre element is what really hooked me into the series in the first place, and that combined with the exciting storylines, help to make this series stand out from the crowd. The story was a little slow to build momentum, to begin with – but as the story progressed, and after only a few chapters, the pace really picked up, the intrigue kicked in, and the story completely captured me and had me gripped tightly all the way till the end. I read the whole thing in one sitting, as I needed to know how everything would play out in the end. I loved meeting the intriguing new characters who have joined the Waterfyre family and can’t wait to read their story (Coming in Book #6 – ‘The Protégé’ – which is set to be amazing!). Happy Reading!

I’ve had my eye on this series for a while but have never taken the leap to read it until now. Why I started with book 5 I couldn’t tell you. I guess I’m just random like that. I realized that they can be read as standalone novels but by starting from the beginning you gain more from the series and have all your questions answered if you read the series in order. Arrow and Vivian are a power couple once they get together, but in the mean time they do surely take their time getting there. She’s an independent, fierce self defense teacher/dentist, and Arrow is a morally gray retired Navy seal who has an interest in wine. Their chemistry was great, the novel was intense, and meaningful. I’m so glad I gave this novel a chance. I am looking forward to going back to start this series from the beginning.

4.5 stars I can’t believe we are at book five in this series already. I have loved this series from the very first book and each book there after only gets better and better. This is my favourite story in the series although I have said that about the others. This is one series that you should get behind because it is great reading. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I say make sure you start with The Mastermind which stars the first of the WaterFyre men to get his story told. The Strategist is Arrow’s story and Nadia has woven a complex tale that I could not set aside I had to keep the pages turning because I couldn’t get enough of it and wanted to see how it all went. I love getting the inside thoughts of the characters instead of it being one sided and Nadia does this by writing in dual POV. Arrow left the life of a Navy SEAL behind but that doesn’t mean he can leave behind painful memories that is until her but when danger comes calling can he help her? Or better yet does she need his help? Will her secrets keep them from what could truly be? Danger and dark secrets that may just destroy it all. What happens next makes for one intriguing and engrossing read. As always, I look forward to seeing what Nadia gives us next.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy their writing style that makes her characters pop and written with a lot of heart. This is the fifth book, it can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are just as great as this one. This is a well written story that is not just full of romance but also suspense. Vivian is a dentist who has no time for romance. Arrow is a Navy Seal but has a past that seems to haunt him. How will one date, one night change everything for them both. Will they get a second chance at romance? I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They are engaging characters that kept me turning pages to the end. They have great growth as well as chemistry throughout the story which made it easy to read. I found this book to be fast paced and entertaining. A hard to put down story that I highly recommend.

As the fifth book in the series, I could not wait to start reading this. As soon as I started reading, I loved the characters. I found them so engaging and I really wanted to know more about their story. I thought their connection was believable and easy to connect with. It was great watching it develop as the story went on.

She is the most beautiful target to land at the center of his heart.
Calculated and sinfully attractive, Arrow Holt is a former Navy SEAL full of strategies that make him a successful wine entrepreneur. But the wounds he carries still haunt him. When he sees scars worse than his own on a stunning woman, his closed heart breaks open.
Mysterious and exquisite, Vivian Vo is an efficient dentist with a hidden agenda and no time for romance even with a gorgeous man she’s drawn to. She believes he’s moved on after her rejection. But his determined plan eventually earns him a duel, a date, and her admission that he is her perfect match.
Her brilliant strategist.
Her relentless protector.
The savior to her soul.
As their romance intensifies, her deep ties to the triad threaten to destroy them and everyone they love.

Come Home to Death is full of suspense, family secrets, drama, and a little bit of romance. I was hooked from the first chapter. The main character has growth throughout the novel which have the coming of age moment helps propel the story forward. Sometimes going home again isn’t in your best interest.

This was my first book by this author and she did not disappoint. The author created a suspenseful tale full mystery, full of secrets, drama, and intrigue. Erica already has some concerns about her husband’s frequent business trips, but when two thugs accosted her in her own home and inform her that her husband has racked up gambling debts, she feels she has no choice but to packs up and head back to her hometown, to try and get the money to pay off the debt. Erica is a well written character who seems very genuine and down to earth, despite her life circumstances. Turns out, someone doesn’t want her to reach the inheritance age and we are taken into a fast paced world where danger is all over and Erica is finding out who she can and can’t trust. I definitely loved every second of the story and if you like mystery and intrigue, with some slow burn romance, I recommend getting this book!

Come Home to Death, a very well written complex mystery suspense with a slow-burn romance. I found this book to be a very exciting read and the build-up of tension and all the twists and turns were plenty to keep you intrigued and flipping pages waiting and wanting more. Full of deceit, drama, secrets, danger and so much more. All the characters are well developed, some are very good, and some are just downright mean. The ending was fantastic, but you will have to read it to find out.

Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson is intriguing romantic suspense- full of mystery, tension, dramatic developments, twists, secrets, danger, and emotion- with a tightly woven plot that and a cast of interesting characters. This might be the first book that I have read by Ms. Levinson, but it certainly won’t be the last. Erica Parker is about to have her world turned upside down with the disappearance of her husband , while thugs turn up on her doorstep- leaving Erica no option but to flee. She finds herself back in her old ‘stomping-ground’ where things take an even more intriguing turn, especially with a target on her back. The story twisted and turned and kept me turning the pages to discover how everything would play out in the end. Looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Levinson’s work. Happy Reading…
