My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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!

If you enjoy crime shows, this book is for you. Reading this book was synonymous with watching a crime TV show. I was not necessarily surprised by any of the actions of the plot/characters. Both were very well developed, just predictable. It also stereotypes both serial killers and detectives/police officers.

Overall I definitely enjoyed the book. The author is a fantastic writer and reels you in from the first sentence. Even though it was predictable, I cannot wait to dive into the next book in this series to find out what comes next for this detective!

 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.

Lucky Break (Trentbridge Tales #2)Lucky Break by Lee Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and.l is just as good as the first. I was easily pulled into the story and the characters. The boom was gull of Suspense. It certainly keeps you guessing as it progresses and I couldn’t wait to see how things would end.
It was great to get to know more about rhe main character. You could see the development from one book to the other. Although I would suggest reading these books in order, this can be read as a standalone and is a book inwould definitely recommend reading.

Lucky Break (Trentbridge Tales #2)Lucky Break by Lee Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mystery. Art. Murder. Once again, the talented Lee Wood has a way to pull you into the mystery and keep you until the end. Lucky Break is the second book in the incredible Trentbridge Tales Series, while it can be read as a standalone, I personally feel the best way to fully get immersed in the world of Trentbridge you must read the first book to fully understand the growth of the characters and what they have overcome to reach their current position, as well as to better understand the subplots. The journey is well worth the read. As with the previous book we are given the story through several perspectives that help give background, understanding and depth to the story.
Peter gives insight to a different world, one of art and beauty but also one of suspense, murder, and mystery. All Peter ever wanted was to find his “lucky break” so that he could live a better life, and in his eyes a fuller life. After months of grieving after the loss of his mother things start to get slightly better when he finds Norman. Norman says whatever happens Peter will always have him. Then everything changes, with the discovery of a lost Picasso. The murder of an art dealer and a growing suspect list where the secrets get darker the longer, they dig.
The world of Trentbridge is based around real towns, giving more of a foothold in the mind, making it easier to envision the places and people that live there. Like in the first book the characters are everyday people even if they have moments more in the extreme than the average person. What the characters experience with their hope, loss, fears and wants are very real for most people in the world. Being able to relate to the characters gives the reader a deeper understanding and hope that they can overcome all that they face. After all we are all just looking for a lucky break. I cannot wait to start book three, Dead Lucky, to see what happens next in the world of Trentbridge.

Lucky Break
By: Lee Wood

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Crime Series. This definitely functions as a standalone, but there is some overlap in characters, so I do recommend reading the first one to really get a feel for all of these characters because both are such amazing books. Peter Winston-Moore is such an interesting character. He is one who really just “steps in it” big time. However, the real character I enjoyed the most is James Sheldon who works as a private investigator whose case is way more complicated than he ever would have suspected on first glance. This author does a fantastic job developing characters, but more importantly he does an absolutely amazing job developing the setting. Everything is described in such a way that you feel like you can absolutely visualize where the story is taking place. Given that this book deals with murder and a private investigator this is a talent that should not go unnoticed. As a reader you feel like you are discovering clues with James Sheldon, not just reading about James Sheldon discovering leads and clues. I really truly cannot recommend this book, and this whole series enough!

Dead Keen was an amazing mix of romance and thriller read. It was definitely a page turner for me. The book had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next. The book was action packed. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning. The world building and characters was well thought of.

I can’t get enough of this series! This starts off as a typical who-done-it, however it is anything but typical. The author weaves characters and motives throughout the tale with the deftness of a master weaver. I like the policeman who went the extra steps to make certain that justice was done rightly. I like the glimpses of the protagonist from the previous book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me guessing all the way around. Love the characters that Anise Eden builds in her stories. Her form of writing leaves you speechless and on your toes. When she brings in Neve as the victim in her own job as a therapist she needs to overcome that fear with the help of Doctor O’Brien.

Anise Eden brings the viewpoint of how the world can be and how people see the world as dark and evil lurking around. When she puts a Doctor and therapist in this world the viewpoint of history that lies beneath each patient especially when one of their patients went into a coma in a bizarre way they have to see what lies in his history back home.

I am the biggest fan of thrillers and mystery. When I first saw this book I was like it won’t be that good but I was wrong. The author Anise Eden, did an amazing in building a world of mystery and thrill that kept me reading both the 1st book and the 2nd book.

4 Stars

 

“A Picasso in a junk shop
A murdered art dealer
A growing suspect list
Time is running out
All they need is one Lucky Break…”

Lucky Break is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series by Lee Wood. This is a gritty mystery with crime and investigation, tension, murder, the ‘art’ world, dark secrets, danger, drama, and plenty of intrigue.
I enjoyed meeting Detective James Sheldon in the first instalment of this series, so I was excited to see what he would be getting up to here. Mr. Wood didn’t disappoint, and along with an engrossing story, he has crafted a cast of well-developed complex characters who really helped to bring this whole story to life. This intriguing cast and interesting situations that Mr. Wood had created (in his book/series) would definitely make a great movie or television series.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lee Wood!

Lucky Break (Trentbridge Tales #2)Lucky Break by Lee Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first thoughts were this was a “must read” because I really enjoyed the first book of the Trentbridge series. I enjoyed how the new storyline and characters were introduced before reintroducing the main characters from the previous books, for example, James Sheldon. It hooked me right away to see where this story was heading. Like the initial book, this one was full of action, a plausible story line, and a resolution that was thought out (as opposed to “just ending” the book, which a lot of books within a series tend to do, in my opinion).

Right away, the cover art drew me in- I really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the stylized eye (symbolizing the lucky break?) and the realistic city scene, portraying the newly introduced character Peter Winston-Moore.

Throughout this sequel, I appreciated how the character development of recurring characters, such as James, remain the same. At the same time, some of the new characters have some far-fetched schemes, but made for a great story!

I really enjoyed the recurring theme in this book, of each of the characters, new and old, getting, in their viewpoint, “lucky breaks,” it really helped with keeping the pacing of this book fast and fresh. This time, the action centers around not a lottery winner, but art forgery and selling art, with great world building as the characters visit fairs, antique stores, and auction houses.

I read a lot of mystery novels, but not much crime novels, so I appreciated the novel’s ending surprising me to some degree. As with the first book, the chapters are on the shorter side, and the writing style is simple and refreshing, not overly flowerly or elegant, which I think depicts the world of art forgery to a tee. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. While this can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading in order to get the backstory on the people involved.

This book is just as riveting as the first one, with twists and turns that no one would see coming. This book kept me engaged throughout and I was not expecting the culprit at the end. Lee Wood has a way of weaving a story together that will have you guessing and second guessing throughout. This is set “over the pond” so there is some terminology that I had to look up but it was not distracting to the overall read.

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed reading just as much as the first one. I highly suggest reading the first book to help your enhancement of the characters. This is a well written story that has twists and turns like no other. They are edge sitting and shadow lurking which add to the story’s entertainment value. This is a fast paced story that has characters that pull you into their world from the start. They are connectable, strong and supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. They have great growth and had me guessing on who did it. This is an engaging story that is hard to put down. A thriller you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

I was so excited to start this book, Dead Keen is book 2 in the Things Unseen series, because I really enjoyed book 1. Neve and Con got into even more shenanigans in book 2. In the process of helping Ciara, cons younger brothers wife, with her mental illness and phantom pain that stems from her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Max. Neve ends up stowing away in Cons car when he tries to question Max, which makes him look incredibly guilty, they end up being left to die in a cave, and are arrested, and taken to jail. I also really enjoyed the sweet, wholesome relationship that is still developing between Neve and Con. They care about each other so much but have fun with each other and the snark level was adorable. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys a good thriller with some romance undercurrent to give this novel a try. They don’t have to be read in order to understand the plot but it would help with understanding the characters, their motivations, and relationships. I loved it.

A great read!! This is a sequel, but can be read as a standalone. The author has an engaging writing style that draws the reader in and the storyline is captivating. We join Neve and her boyfriend, Con, on a trip to help Cons brother and his fiancé with a medical mystery, but it soon unravels into much more!

The author develops plot and characters well and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. The author gives us everything in this story and keeps you guessing throughout. This is a well written, engrossing psychological thriller!

Dead Keen is Book Two in the Things Unseen Series and the sequel to Dead Sound. If you have not yet read the first book in the series, I highly recommend that you do. Book One will give you an introduction to the characters and their backstories which will give you a better idea of the ordeal that the characters have been through. Dead Keen is a gripping psychological thriller with elements of action, drama, suspense, romance, danger, and drama. Picking up where the first book left off, Neve and Con are flying to Ireland in the hopes to rest, relax, and recoup from the ordeal that they have recently been put through. The pair are enjoying the beauty of Ireland until they get entangled in a mystery involving a deadly cult. Suddenly, their magical getaway turns sinister, and they find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Neve and Con find themselves battling against video game designers, ancient gods, and evil cult leaders. The tension builds throughout the book as the pair try to unravel the lies and secrets while facing off against an evil cult leader.

Another amazing book by this talented author who drew me into the story from the first few pages and kept me hooked until the end. The writing was so vivid and descriptive that it pulled me into the story and made me feel as though I was there in Ireland with the characters. Neve and Con are a wonderful couple who fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The ordeals that they were put through brought them closer together as they leaned on each other for support. A brilliant rollercoaster ride with twists and turns that will keep you riveted until the end. I highly recommend this book!

Dr Con O’Brien travels back to Ireland with his new girlfriend Neve, a therapist, to help his brother solve a medical mystery with his fiancée Ciara. Ciara’s ex, Max has caused much trauma and his cult past and dark secrets are the key to helping Ciara.
This is the second book. I didn’t read the first, and while I did fine reading the second, I wish I had read it, there were a lot of references to things that happened in it that would have made more sense.
It was still a great read with a good story line.

This is the second book in the Things Unseen Series. I would recommend reading these books in order as it will give you a better understanding of the characters and why they find themselves in the position they are in now.
We are back with Con and Neve. After they barely survived their first adventure together they are asked to help Con’s brother and his partner Ciara. After Ciara starts suffering with a mysterious illness that means she harms herself while she sleeps she is admitted to hospital. And this is where Con and Neve come in as they work together to uncover the reason before these episodes and hopefully find a way of stopping them.
However things aren’t straight forward and their investigation leads them into danger as they try to get answers from Ciara’s ex and a cult leader has them in his sites.
This is a fast paced Suspense story as we yet again see Con and Neve put themselves in danger trying to protect someone else. The twists and turns in this story were great. I never knew what to expect and I was gripped from beginning to end.
Can Neve and Con help to get to the bottom of Ciara’s problems? What will they uncover along the way? And at what cost.

I loved this book. It was a great read that I couldn’t put down.

This book is the second in a series. I did not read the first book, and I was able to follow along fairly easily. I found the writing style to be addictive and hard to put down! The book starts out as Neve and Con going to visit Con’s family. Con’s brother’s fiance, Ciara, is being plagued with mental issues and seemingly self harm. Neve and Con come to help diagnose and treat Ciara while visiting family. But is it really that simple? The twists really keep you from putting the book down and keep you coming back to read. My only real complaint is that I had to sleep and couldn’t keep reading.

Dead Keen (Things Unseen Book 2) by Anise Eden. I loved the first book in this series and this one was no different. It kept me flipping pages late in the night. I do recommend the first book to better understand what’s going on but this can be read as a standalone. Its the continuing story of Neve and Con’s story as they are flying to Ireland for her birthday. Neve is still recovering from her former job physically and emotionally. Once they get to lovely Ireland they are loving all the beauty and Neve is especially loving getting to know more about Con’s family. When they get entangled with a deadly cult involving video games and old god’s they are in a fight for their life. You will get to see the true devotion these two have for one another as they once again fight for their lives. Seeing the gentle side of Con helping Neve with her panic attacks was a sweet part of his story and I loved the setting of Ireland. The author writes so well I felt like I was actually in beautiful Ireland. I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series.

Dead Keen (Things Unseen #2)Dead Keen by Anise Eden

Dead Keen is the second book in the Things Unseen series. It’s a sequel to Dead Sound, but can be read as a standalone. It’s a thriller that centres around nightmares. Con and Neve are back, having travelled to London, and are using their knowledge of psychology to help Con’s future sister-in-law, Ciara, who is being haunted by bad dreams and dangerous sleepwalking.

Along the way, Con and Neve are also dealing with some of their own psychological baggage. Neve’s anxiety is more intense in the aftermath of the previous book. And Con has to confront the family issues that made him leave Ireland a long time ago. They both need space to heal, but are also driven to help Ciara escape her torment.

This is a page-turner, absolutely fascinating to read. I love encountering Ireland through Neve’s eyes, for the first time. There are beautiful descriptions of scenery and landmarks as she explores. And Con’s family bring some interesting dynamics to the story.

I’d recommend this book to fans of medical and psychological thrillers. It gets five stars from me!
