Sooo, after reading everything available about this book I don’t know what I expected it to be about but it wasn’t that. I’m so glad that I didn’t though because I probably wouldn’t have picked it up and I would have really missed out on a great read! I liked Neve but I think my favorite character was Conman and maybe Erik the Viking. This book did have a few sensitive topics like Neves forced hospitalization, her being forcibly medicated (Con to the rescue), and an assassination attempt but it all added to an expertly thought out, well written plot. I can’t wait to read book 2 to see what they get up to in Ireland.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoy this author’s writing skills that make their stories come to life on every page. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story about redemption, the truth behind the suicides that are happening in this small town and a deputy that has their own past and demons lurking. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. The characters are relatable, strong characters that made the story easy for me to read. They have great growth as well as add a lot to the story. I found this book to be fast paced, engaging and entertaining to read. You don’t want to miss out on this mystery story. I highly recommend this book.

I started this book and, quite literally, could not put it down. Nic had grabbed my attention right from the start. By jumping right in with the hostage scene, I was in for the full ride. Nice is a former Marine sniper that is now a Sheriff’s Deputy. She’s trying to keep her PTSD hidden and not doing a great job. Many secrets are hidden in this story and they are coming out. I love the writing. I was nowhere close to figuring out who the culprit was. A definite sign of a good mystery to me. The author throws in twists and turns where you don’t expect them. A little romance between her and Con was lovely. I can’t wait to see where that goes. This is an amazing start to a new series that just blew me away. I can’t wait for the next book.

There has not been a book by Winter that I have not really enjoyed. I was excited to get started when I came across this romantic suspense story from her. Atonement is the first exciting book in The McIntire County Series and follows former marine and McIntire County deputy Nicolette Rivers. Nicolette has had a messy life and suffers from PTSD. When a hostage situation goes wrong Nic’s triggers rear their ugly heads. She is a complex woman, she is strong, but she also has much depth to her. Winter certainly puts this woman through her paces. Winter has done a great job of showing the war within oneself and PTSD. It is a raw, heart-wrenching and compelling story. Suffering from PTSD myself it made the story that much more real and poignant. Con is the perfect match for Nic and but to be able to move forward they need to deal with her scarred past. Winter has cleverly woven several threads together to make this a compelling read and it is one of those books that you just can’t put down because you need to know where it is going and what comes next. There is suspense, heartache and heartbreak, pain and sorrow, dark secrets, and danger but there is also some laughter. Atonement almost becomes a dirty word. The Priest most certainly does. With deadly secrets, family, war, tragedy, death and one man’s crazy and another’s love all collide in this tale that you should all get your hands on. I really liked the characters and found myself caught up in them, the small town and the story. I hope that some of the secondary characters get their own stories. This is a must read.

A rash of unexplained suicides in the sleepy town of Eider, Iowa, draws McIntire County deputy Nicolette Rivers into a devious killer’s twisted plot. A former marine sniper suffering from PTSD, Nic hides her own deadly secrets, and The Priest will do anything to expose it and her.
For redemption is at hand . . .
Eider police detective Con O’Hanlon is assigned to help Nic uncover the truth behind the suicides. She rebuffs his help at every turn, but the stubborn Irishman holds on. When tragedy strikes, Con helps cover up the fallout, but is he too late to prevent Nic’s dark, downward spiral? Or is Con the one man stronger than her demons?
Winter Austin perpetually answers the question: “were you born in the winter?” with a flat “nope,” but believe her, there is a story behind her name.
A lifelong Mid-West gal with strong ties to the agriculture world, Winter grew up listening to the captivating stories told by relatives around a table or a campfire. As a published author, she learned her glass half-empty personality makes for a perfect suspense/thriller writer. Taking her ability to verbally spin a vivid and detailed story, Winter translated that into writing deadly romantic suspense, mysteries, and thrillers.
When she’s not slaving away at the computer, you can find Winter supporting her daughter in cattle shows, seeing her three sons off into the wide-wide world, loving on her fur babies, prodding her teacher husband, and nagging at her flock of hens to stay in the coop or the dogs will get them.
She is the author of multiple novels, with more on the way.

I want to start by saying that I absolutely love the cover for this!
Taz is a Mom who kicks a** and takes name especially when it comes to her son, Teddy.
She is the bookkeeper for the Handmaiden’s. When a white supremacy group starts making trouble and the past starts to catch up with her, she finds a family that help protect her and Teddy.
I was not expecting to be so engrossed and captivated by this book as I was. I knew it may pull at my heartstrings but I wasn’t prepared by how much nor how much I would love the characters.
I am not a big fan of different POV chapters but it works very well.
I read that there is another book scheduled to be released in September. I am looking forward to reading it.
This is the second (and final) book in the Things Unseen series. I highly recommend reading the first book prior to reading this one simply so you have a better understanding of the characters and the trials and tribulations they’ve been through. It will definitely give you a better understanding of them. I found Eden’s writing style to be very addicting. I was pulled in from the beginning and she didn’t let me go until the very last page. This is a romantic suspense, psychological thriller that has drama, twists, turns, emotion, action…you name it…it’s in here. I can’t really say enough good things about this book. It’s fantastic and well written…I couldn’t put it down and I look forward to my next read by Anise Eden.

This book is a gripping thriller that is every bit as exciting and intense as the first book. It was great to connect with Neve again and see her character develop even more in this book. This book can be read as a standalone but I personally think it is better to read them in order so you can get a full appreciation of the characters and the story. I was pulled into this book right from the start. It was a fascinating story and I felt like it kept me on the edge of my seat for most of it. This is the kind of book that you have to read in one sitting because it is so good. It took me no time to get through it and yet I could have kept reading for so much longer. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend.

This is the second book in the Things Unseen series and once again, the blurb was enough for me to know I’d love this book.
I love that we saw more of Con’s background, his family and homeland in this book. Though even in Ireland, the pair (Neve and Con) aren’t safe from peril, even while still trying to heal from their previous ordeal.
This book has made me fall more in love with Neve and Con than before, something I didn’t think was even possible. After everything they’ve both gone through, they’re so supportive and strong, bringing the best out in each other at their darkest moments.
The tension builds throughout as the danger rises, leaving you concerned for everyone’s safety. You’re left trying to unravel the secrets alongside the characters, rooting for everyone’s survival. I hope there’s another book coming soon as I cannot get enough of this series.

This is the first book in the Things Unseen series, a psychological thriller which caught my attention from the first sentence of the blurb.
The links between a hospital and government fascinated me by how it all came together. At times you are left considering the possibility that the sources of information aren’t what they’re first made out to be. The what ifs leaving you trying to decipher the meanings behind the things everyone says and does. With all the conspiracy, you are left wondering who can be trusted and desperately hoping for the best outcome for Neve and Con.
I enjoyed the author’s writing style, it flowed well and built tension with the rising danger. The characters were well-constructed, and I honestly can’t decide who I love more, Neve or Con. Neve is just a beautiful human inside and out and you can’t help but love her while Con is both respectful and protective.
I was far more emotionally invested in this story than I was prepared for and I loved it! A brilliant start to the series, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This book is a fantastically well written romantic suspense. The characters are amazing. Neve and Con are the perfect type of romance characters. They have a yearning for each other that runs deep but neither really speaks of it and keeps it to themselves. Neve is an incredible strong heroine and Con is incredibly protective of her. However, as in all my favorite books, every character in this book is incredibly complicated and dark and twisted. This is such a very well written book that I cannot recommend enough. It is filled with twists and turns and romance, truthfully it has everything a reader can ask for!

This book is the sequel to Dead Sound. It is a fantastic thriller. It is well written and is filled with twists and turns that kept me reading way late into the night. Con and Neve are incredibly interesting characters. Every part of this plot seemed incredibly unique to me and every time I thought that I had it pretty much figured out, there would be another twist to keep me guessing. I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it for anyone who enjoys a great thriller.

This is a new to me author and I will for sure be reading more! I was immediately immersed in this story and felt connected to Keira from the get go. Keira is the kind of heroine I like, independent, strong and stands up for herself. She has a stalker and has no idea who it could be except maybe someone from her past. When her run in with her neighbor Cade uncovers he’s in security , she gains someone in her corner. Cade is on leave from an injury received on his last mission. When his interaction with Keira shows signs she may be in trouble or scared, he steps in and helps, not knowing what messy web he’s really going to uncover.
I can usually guess the who and while I was partly right I wasn’t expecting the how and why. I can’t wait to read more (hopefully) from this group!

Dead Keen is the second book in the Things Unseen series by Anise Eden. It is a brilliant psychological thriller with romantic suspense elements, medical mystery, action, adventure, tension, intrigue, gripping edge of seat developments, drama, emotion, plots, hidden agendas, and palpable tension. After reading the first book and loving it as much as I did, I had quite high expectations for this second instalment. I am happy to say that Ms. Eden didn’t disappoint, and this is every bit as good as the first, if not better. We met Psychotherapist Neve Keane back in book one and now join her and her boyfriend Doctor Con O’Brien on a trip to Ireland to help Con’s family. What happens once they get there makes for some intense reading that had me flipping the pages, reading as fast as I could, because I needed to know how everything would play out in the end. Add in a medical mystery, a demented cult leader, old gods, and a videogame company, and the story really takes off. I lost all sense of time and place as I followed along on the adventure, staying up into the wee hours because I couldn’t put it down until I had read every word. To me, that is a sign of a great book. This could be read as a standalone if you wanted, without feeling like you are ‘missing’ anything- but having said that, I highly recommend reading the first book, as there are important character details, backstory and other pertinent information that will enhance your reading experience of this book. I can’t wait to see what happens in Book #3! Happy reading!

Another great read by Anise Eden!! I don’t want to say much about this one in case you haven’t read the first book yet. It would be super helpful to read it first to get the background on Con and Neve.
Con is finally getting to go home to Ireland after being away for five years. It will be a difficult journey home but he has Neve at his side. Con’s purpose in going back to Ireland is to help his brother out with a potential life altering medical issue. At the same time, he will have to deal with his parents and their psychosocial issues within the family.
Neve has resources that can help Con out but at what price? Can they make a difference in the lives of those at stake?

A social worker is stabbed while on duty at the hospital and is coming back for her first day of work. No one thinks she’s ready but Neve has had it with sitting at home and playing Scrabble all day. As soon as she walks into her unit, mass chaos starts taking place and Neve is shaken to her core. Maybe she should go home?
Amos is in the ER…again. Dr. Con is prepared to see him for his endocrine issues and Neve is ready to help him with restarting the program that they came up with that was supposedly successful. Amos admits to Neve that he’s the leader of the group that surrounded her a few hours earlier and all of a sudden, everything changes again. Amos begs Neve to read his book and then come back and talk to him. However, Amos ends up having a medical emergency and isn’t able to have visitors for awhile.
I’ll stop there because I don’t want to give anything about this book away. It’s gonna grip you in the first page and have you holding on until the end. There is a little bit of romance, but it’s all very classy. There’s mention of angels being seen. There’s a lot of suspense and tense moments to keep you on the edge of your seat.

This story took me several chapters to get into. It is a psychological tale with drops of romance, love, and tons of mystery. The author has you wondering and patiently waiting for the outcome. When I finally got into it, I enjoyed it very much.

The second book in the Things Unseen series. I definitely recommend reading the first story Dead Sound before even starting this story. This story goes into more of Con and his family while still following Neve as well. This story was a bit more twisted than Dead Sound. After reading the first story I expected so much different and was blown away by the story twists.

This is the second book in this series and the conclusion. I highly suggest you read the previous book before this one to see where the characters have been and where they are going. I enjoyed this first book and this one is just as great if not better. I found it to be well written and suspenseful that had me coming back for more. I enjoyed how the characters not only pulled me into their world but also made me feel a part of it. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A suspenseful story that has twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what would happen next. I enjoyed the growth of the plot which added to the story’s entertainment value and was easy to read. I enjoyed this suspenseful thriller and I highly recommend it.

Hook, line & sinker This is the second book in the Things Unseen series and just like first book it grabs you and doesn’t let go. From one breath taking minute to the next, the author weaves an intense tale of intrigue, suspense and mystery. As the clock is ticking and with danger around every corner, Neve and Con have the odds stacked against them. What unfolds is an unpredictable tale. Highly recommend!

Dead Keen is the second book in the gripping Things Unseen series by Anise Eden. I absolutely loved the first book and this one was just as good. You do not have to read them in order as they can be read as standalone, but I implore you to start with the first book and work your way through. You will be missing out on such great stories and insights into the wonderful characters. With dangers still lurking escaping to the beautiful Emerald Isle, (a place that stole my heart when I visited) seems like just the thing but it soon becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dead Keen is a page turning psychological thriller where the suspense and tension is palpable. When deadly evil cult leaders, ancient gods and video game designers become involved there are menacing lies and secrets, deceit and deadly dangerous games a foot. This dangerous world goes far beyond and one with far and wide repercussions. Anise has once again cleverly crafted an intricate and complex web that is masterfully thought out and executed. It is unpredictable, but it has just the right amount of humour. This is a psychological thriller at its finest and one that should not be missed out on. Prepare to be delighted if not on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding.

The gripping new sequel to award-winning thriller DEAD SOUND, perfect for fans of Karen Robards and Kelley Armstrong.
They were meant to be traveling away from danger…
The Doctor
Con O’Brien returned to Ireland to help solve a medical mystery that could destroy his brother’s life. He brought along his new girlfriend, Neve, to introduce her to his family and the country he calls home—and to put an ocean between her and the dangers still lurking in Washington, DC.
The Therapist
Neve Keane is convinced that the key to curing a baffling illness lies with an elusive video game designer in Galway. But getting his help means overcoming bad blood and broken hearts—and so far, he won’t answer his phone.
The Leader
When you’ve gained the favor of an ancient god, nothing and no one can stop you from getting what you want—even if you demand the ultimate sacrifice.
In their race to uncover sinister secrets, Con and Neve get trapped with their backs against the wall, and the water is rising. Now they must find a way to save themselves, rescue innocent victims, and stop a deadly evil in its tracks—all before sunrise tomorrow.

The two have one amazing steamy night together. In the morning they can’t seem to let go. Soon it turns into a weekend together will these two who amazingly came together work things out so they can be together? The author did a wonderful job of character and world building.

It’s all coming to an end now in book four. Or maybe it’s not 😉
A terrific tale of treasure hunting, avoiding presents and escaping to the past. Only to have the past come back haunting when you think you’ve finally settled. The fourth is a killer ending to a four book series. A must read that keeps you captivated and enthralled with stunning world building, character development and detail.

Wow. I am IN LOVE with these 2… “Nolan” and “Jack” have an INTENSE chemistry from the jump. They are ON FIRE. And while they both know it can’t be more that a fun time, they both know they’re going to be destroyed when they have to say goodbye… I fell SO hard for this book, so I’m reading the next one, and then another in the series.

Most people spend time running from their past to get to the future. But what happens when you’re running from the future because you’re from the past ?!
Stepping foot in modern day Ireland vs 1800s has been a feat in itself. But when you must hide your identity from the love your life ? well that’s when things get sticky.
A series set in the future but heavily focusing on the past might help us get the answers so badly sought for. Love isn’t without its complications. Will their love withstand the test of time ? Let’s hope so!
World building is excellent characters are relatable and well loved.

This is book four in The Cross of Ciaran series. While I haven’t read the first three, this book does well as a stand alone read. Matthews draws you into the deadly mystery that is abundant archaeologicsl facts and rich with history. The world building makes it easy for the reader to envision the scenes portrayed in the story. Ireland is rich with history and language. Even though I didn’t know how to pronounce the Celtic names, it was nice to see the author stay true to that history.

The Ring of Eagna is book # 4 in this series…I highly recommend reading this series in order and this story gives me adventure, intrigue, danger, magic and with twists and turn that I love.
Ciaran and Aodhan, upon finding a manuscript from long ago, it is told there is three rings to access a ancient treasure. Knowing that Ciaran and Aodhan have two of the rings, they venture off to find the third ring…what can be so hard to find….but danger lurks are they are not the only two that are after this ancient treasure and trying to find the three rings to unlock….but will Ciaran and Aodhan stay safe while trying to hunt for the third ring?

This final book is definitely the most action packed and best one of the series! With a final quest of Ciaran and Aodhan on the final ring as they already possess the first two and come to unexpected and deadly adventures in doing so. Unfortunately they are not the only ones with the same mission. In this treasure hunt for the final ring, it keeps readers guessing whether or not these brothers will find the final ring or will someone else find it first! I most definitely had a deeper appreciation for this final book after reading the previous books in the series. You’ve enjoyed the journey all the way! This is my second Andrea Matthews books series and I absolutely love her style of writing and adventures.
