(4.5) Happy Sigh. As gut wrenching thriller as this series is, I give a happy sigh knowing complacency about life will be tested, I will be scared, thrilled and even through the losses in these stories there is a form of HEA. Love Love Love Kane (sorry he's not Dave to me) and Wolfe. Jenna is learning to trust and to lean on her team. There are multiple possibilites for who the killer is and I love how we are part of the thought process of the Sheriff Dept. S
WIN! Thank you NetGalley, D.K. Hood, and Bookouture. All thoughts and opinions are my own and we're unsolicited.

This series is SO GOOD and this book does not disappoint. Right from the get-go, the story is fast paced. The way the author weaves in and out of the various scenarios keeps me on the edge of my seat. Lots of twists that I did not predict, but nothing so unrealistic that it wasn't believable. I truly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

a creepy book with a young teenager waking up to whispers in the night and a boogey man at the bottom of her bed...when she calls out for her dad each time and though he looks by the end of the fifth night maybe the search isnt as thoroughly...and maybe in the morning he will regret it as she is gone

with no clues or any signs the detectives are stumped and then the next girl goes missing and again the rumour is she heard whispers in the night...

a complex story for the detectives to find out the killer and with hints of old cases were they looking at a serial killer in their midst....

i found the main characters very easy to get to know being as how this is my first book and in reality its the 6th one in the series but it didnt put me off...maybe the lead female detective could do with a bit more backbone as i did find her slightly annoying come on she is the sheriff but apart from that gonna keep my eye out for more of this authors work

Lindy Rosen has been abducted from her bed in the middle of the night. The kidnapper has sent a video of her to Detective Jenna Alton and given her six hours to find her. Unfortunately the killer isn’t playing fair and Jenna and her team are too late when they find Lindy. Then another girl disappears - this time she just walked out of her house disarming the alarm system on her way. Jenna and her team work around the clock to try and find the perpetrator and have multiple suspects but cant narrow the list down to one.

I’ve read and enjoyed all the books in this series and this one didn’t disappoint. It had me gripped from the first page.

Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture and D K Hood for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

I have not read the prior books in this series. I did feel like I was able to follow the storyline. It is a good mystery. Some of the dialogue seemed a but trite and I was not into the potential relationship being hinted at. But the book was enjoyable and I will be going back to look for some of the earlier books in the series as I would love to know more of the backstories of these characters.

3.5 stars rounded up

There are more suspects in this book than you can shake a stick at! When Lindy Rosen is certain there has been a man in her room at night her father checks each time but never finds anyone.  When she disappears without trace it looks at first as if she is just another runaway but that misconception doesn't last long.

Sheriff Jenna Alton and her team in Black Rock Falls have got used to hunting the more serious criminals their county has to offer. This time however, the clock is ticking in more ways than one and despite the links between the victims the killer still remains elusive. Running on coffee fumes and very little sleep Jenna and partner Dave Kane use all the tools at their disposal as well as skills gained through years of law enforcement but never feel they are close to being one step ahead of their perp.

This is a story which gradually increases the tension until you just hope something is going to fall Jenna and Kane's way and, although there were, as mentioned, a variety of possible antagonists, I had no idea whodunnit until they were finally unmasked in a very satisfying denouement. The characters were well written and, in their sixth outing, well rounded and interacted convincingly.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who has read the previous books or is a thriller buff; this won't disappoint.

Another blinded insight
15 years old had been having nightmares that a man is watching her sleep
Her name is Lindy Rosen but in the morning they find her missing
Within the hour the Detective Jenna Alton has the video saying you have 24 hours to find her or I’ll kill her
But 2 days later one of Lindys friend goes missing and the whole thing starts again
I had an ARC from Bookouture

Thanks to Netgalley for ARC in exchange for honest review.

This is the first time I have read the book by author DK hood and I loved it. One of the better mysteries compared to other books I read recently.

The book is about the missing girls in a small town and how Sheriff Jenna , her deputy Kane , medical examiner Wolf solve this. The only thing I wished was that ending could have been better as why the guy was kidnapping/murdering the girls in the first place. Did he have any childhood trauma ? There are some hints which reader can interpret in their own way, personally I do not like open ended interpretations.

Still I was hooked and enjoyed the book.

This is a nerve jangling, tense thriller that keeps you guessing till the very last second. If I had my breath much more I would have been blue.

Looking forward to Kane and Alton's next adventure.

I just love this series of books from D.K. Hood. I have read all the series so far so couldn’t wait to read this one. I wasn’t disappointed. I just love the way the main characters interact and their blossoming relationship. The style of writing really draws you in and quickly grabs you so you just have to carry on reading to know what happens! Although it can read as a stand-alone I would recommend reading the series in order to get the backgrounds on all the characters. I highly recommend this book and series.

Whisper in the Night is a fantastic thriller and the sixth in the series. D.K. Hood is a wonderful author who knows how to keep a reader engaged in the story. A must read.

Whoop whoop back to Black Rock Falls again which seems to be a magnet for the weird and not so wonderful…. They somehow attract serial killers!!!!

This is the sixth book in this series and I have to say I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of reading them! One piece of advice, in my opinion you should read these books in order as you get more information and back detail as the series progresses.

This time the team are on the hunt for “the Shadow Man”…. It begins when a young girl Lindy goes missing from her bedroom after telling her parents for the last couple of weeks that there was someone in her room but her father never finds anything, having checked every nook and cranny… what happened to Lindy? Sheriff Alton and Kane are on the case, however, when Jenna receives a video message showing the girl in distress and giving her a time line in which to find her or she dies, the pressure is on… will they find her on time?

A dangerous game is being played by the unsub and Sheriff Alton seems to be in his crosshairs…. So many suspects, interviews and nothing to show for it…. With little to go on, can they stop him?

A wonderful game of cat & mouse, it draws you in and doesn’t let you go, you just need to know, I love this series and if there weren’t so many serial killers attracted to the area…. It sounds like the idyllic place to live…. One thing though, are Kane & Alton every going to get it on… things seems to be heating up to atomic level between the pair of them… it would be nice to see them get their happy ever after!!!

Bring on the next instalment, can’t wait to find out whats in store for the residents of Black Rock Falls!!!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

With this book I decided to get out of my comfort zone. This really is not the type of books I read, I prefer the quite English mysteries with not too many thrills and spills.
But I must say this book was exciting, nail bitingly thrilling and moved so fast that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. It is a book that one can't not get involved with, the characters where good and the story well written, without bad language and unnecessary violence, yet scary.
Must try another.

Whisper In The Night – D. K. Hood

This is number six in the Detectives Kane and Alton series these absolutely must be read in order. There is so much detail regarding the team their own specialities and just how they slot into the team. I can hand on heart say that I absolutely love this series which is high praise indeed from me as currently I am currently favouring British crime/Police procedurals. I’ve been hooked from the first to last page and hated having to put it down to adult.

D.K. Hood takes care when she writes about the violence that has been done to the victims it’s done in such a way as to allow the readers imagination to come to the fore. I personally prefer that rather than to read gratuitous violence written just for the sake of it anyway my imagination can be a scary place.

Nicknamed The Shadow Man is the latest fruitcake to take residence in Black Rock Falls and he’s leading them a merry dance this time. Preying on the young and vulnerable in the area he somehow inserts himself into their nightmares in a rather ingenuous way. As usual Kane and Alton the team with their extended family give their absolute all into catching him.

I have to say it’s a dangerous place to live; serial killers are attracted to Black Rock Falls for some reason. I think it could be the surrounding area the woods, the lake and the wide open spaces giving plenty of places for the seemingly many deviants to act out their sick perverted games.

This series just gets better and better, there’s so much scope for this pairing not only the ‘elusive’ relationship ship that reminds me of the whole Ross and Rachel from friends situation. There’s also the up and coming team, Wolfe’s daughters Julie and Emily who just happen to be super smart and Blackhawk who could track a ghost if need be. I am already anxiously awaiting number seven; please tell me there will be one?

Read for an honest opinion. Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture

An interesting but somewhat slow story line. A serial killer whose ultimate target was Sheriff Jenna Alton but with the help of her deputy David Kane finally brings the killer to justice.

Yet another stunning read from DK Hood! This book was amazing I really enjoyed it, I feel this series gets better with every book. Who would want to live in Black Rock Falls? It’s a Mecca for serial killers, but luckily Jenna and her team are around to solve the most hideous of crimes. Full of tension, darkness and danger this book was a real page turner that I found hard to put down. It was non stop action from start to finish so it kept me engaged right the way through the book. This book is an easy 5 stars it was really good and don’t hesitate to recommend it.

I was pleased to read a copy of this book to give an honest review on it.

This is a stand-alone novel although I had not read any of the previous books I felt it would have been better to have done so as there are so many characters involved within the story I feel I would have known who each person was and what relationships are involved within the book. I believe previous storylines were mentioned within this book that would have given a better insight to the characters.

The race is on as Kane and Alton try to catch a killer who is kidnapping and murdering young girls with the ultimate goal being to kill the Sherriff Jenna Alton. There are a number of suspects interviewed and introduced throughout the book and you are kept guessing until the end which was good. The tension ramped up a bit as each person was taken and as they were held captive. There are a lot of characters involved in the story not just Kane and Alton. This is where I would recommend probably reading the books in order but this is just how I like to read books and is only my opinion based on preference.

This is a good read has you gripped at times but occasionally I felt the story dropped a little or there was too much repeated within a couple of the conversations. Which is why I gave this 4 stars rather than 5. I would definitely recommend this book and have decided to start the series with the first book so that when number 7 in the series comes out I will know all the characters.

Thanks again to #NetGalley and the publisher (and, especially D. K. Hood) for the opportunity to read "Whisper In The Night" in return for a fair and honest review.

Whisper In The Night is the 6th book in the series featuring Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Kane - but it really should 'feature' her entire support system (Shane Wolfe, Deputies Webber and Walters, Maggie, et al) as they all have crucial roles to play in every case.

This one hits close to home: young girls are being abducted from their homes - homes that are so well-protected by security that it should be impossible. Lindy swears that there has been someone in her bedroom for a number of nights, but her parents never find any evidence; then she's gone and no one can figure out how.

Thus begins a cat-and-mouse game between the perpetrator and Sheriff Alton - his ultimate prey.

Two more girls go missing and then are found dead; like Lindy, booby trapped. Each time, Jenna is contacted by text and with videos attached that up the ante.

Many suspects are brought in, interviewed, premises and cars searched... the whole nine yards; but no clues are found that point to any one of them. They are released for lack of evidence, but one or more has openly threatened Jenna.

When a fourth girl is grabbed, they go all-out, and Jenna is set up as bait to flush out a killer who claims to have murdered over twenty others. Will they catch him or will the Shadow Man elude even Alton and Kane?

As one of the characters reiterates at the end: "That's our town, beautiful one day and crazy as hell the next". And we wouldn't have it any other way.

This one had me from beginning to end. Recommended, but please read the other five in the series, too.

Another good read from DK Hood and as usual although the culprit is mentioned along with other people, I like that you're left guessing to the end. I'm usually not one that likes the leads to get romantically involved in this genre but the author is cleverly spinning the back story for this in a subtle way. I would like to thank the publishers and netgalley for letting me have the book to review and the opinions expressed are entirely my own views and are completely unbiased.

Another book in the fabulous Alton and Kane series.  This book was more suspenseful to me then the others and still had the wonderful built up tension that the other books have.

The story was a bit harder for me to get into as it deals with teens going missing.  I am not saying it wasn't great because it was but just the subject matter isn't as much to my liking as the other books in this series.

Jenna Alton is still a person you are so happy to see.  She has such a good personality and doesn't see things in the traditional black and white.

David Kane is the knight in shining armour.  He has this personality that makes him always running to the rescue just as the white knights would have.  It seems that Jenna is usually the one whom he is trying to protect not just from those who try and destroy the idyllic town of Black Rock Falls but even from herself.

In this book Shane Wolfe really comes more out and shows just what he really could be.  He isn't just the behind the scenes man that he comes off as but instead is the one who is the glue holding things together and can be as ruthless as Kane and just as strong and self sufficient as Alton.

I like seeing and getting to know Wolfes kids as well as they form as integral part for the story and show a more human side of things as well.  They make things seem normal when nothing is as it should be in small town USA. 

One thing I always detect is there is a lot of sexually charged tension between Kane and Alton.  It seems that Kane is fighting himself at each step and Jenna so much baggage that you just don't know what will happen.

The ending of the book wasn't as good as it could have been.  I was hoping for a lot more from the end game but it was happier and at least it had a full conclusion.  With the dark nature of this book I was waiting for Wolfe or Kane to go and exact revenge for what had happened.

All in told still a great book from one of the better series.  With each book you see so much growth in each of the characters you just are never sure what you should expect.
