This book had me from the first page and I loved reading every word. I love the characters, both human and canine.
This is the first book by this author and for this series for me and it's a definite read and you can bet I'm going back and catching up on these characters.
If you love a good mystery/thriller you'll like this one. I did. I didn't want to sleep so I could finish the book.
I would have given this book five stars had I not guessed the bad guy early on, but reading to confirm was still worth every second.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Another hit in a great series! The pacing is spot on. The characters are ones we have come to love and are invested in. This case was one of the best of the series. There were so many viable suspects and it was written so believably that I definitely guessed wrong. The twists are many and perfect to the story line. I am never disappointed by this author and I am waiting impatiently for the next book.
This is Book 6 in this series. I will only visit Black Rock Falls in this Author's books! So many twists, turns and suspects as Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane track down the kdnapper of teenage girls who also has Jenna in his sights. I barely ate or slept while reading this book. I love the characters and this Author's imagination is scary good. Please hurry with Book 7. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.
First of all thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced copy of a fantastic addition to the Kane and Alton series.
I have enjoyed every single one of these books and this latest is no exception. The pages just keep turning in this story set in the marvellous setting of Black Rock Falls. It follows the team as they hunt for the killer of teenage girls who also has Jenna in his sights. The pace never drops and the story is full of twists and turns and to me it is probably the darkest of the series so far (this is just my opinion though). D K Hood has a way of describing things in such detail that you feel as if you are breathing in that pine scented air and that you are working side by side with the team in their hunt for the suspect. This is another roller coaster of a ride, so strap yourself in and be prepared to be hurtled along at 100mph through the pages. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this book or the series.
I can't get enough of this series and whizzed through yet another blinding instalment!
Detectives Jenna Alton and David Kane of Black Rock Falls (Montana) have another murder to solve. This time someone is kidnapping teenage girls and openly taunting the detectives by contacting Jenna directly and stating the clock is ticking as the girls will be killed if they don't find them in time. It's a fast-paced story that kept me turning the pages eager for more.
There was a large cast of suspects, all naturally with the means but not necessarily motive, and it kept me guessing to the wire which is always a bonus.
I love the chemistry between Alton and Kane, a relationship is getting closer and closer to fruition and I am a sucker for some romance on the sideline. I also enjoy seeing a female lead with a male sidekick which isn't always the norm.
Bring on the next instalment, it'll be another thriller I'm sure!
My many thanks to Bookouture via NetGalley for providing me with this advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
I love this series. As soon as I received this it jumped straight to the top of my TBR list- I’ve even left a book half read to start it - something I never do! You know it’s a bad move then they mention the q word and suddenly all hell breaks loose in Black Rock Falls. Brilliant main plot which of course becomes personal as they start to target Jenna and the team. Subplot continues to develop nicely
Number 6 in the series which just gets better and better. Black Rock Falls has to be the most dangerous place in the world and Auntie Betty’s Cafe must have a turnover in millions!
Brilliant stuff. Read in one day. Genuinely didn’t want to put it down
This is book #6 in the Kane & Alton series. It can be read as a standalone, but for continuity and to understand the story better, I would recommend reading them in order.
I love this series of books, so I just knew that as soon as I received this latest one it would push its way up to the top of my To Be Read pile, even though there were many more books I needed to read first. I have read all of the previous books and have been hooked by the stories of Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane right from the very first page of Don’t Tell a Soul, the first book of the series. In this latest book, 15 year old Lindy Rosen has been having nightmares for weeks, thinking there is someone in her room. When she disappears one night, Sheriff Alton and her team are called in to look for the missing teenager. When Alton receives an anonymous text message telling her she has 24 hours to find Lindy, it becomes clear that she has been abducted. Can Sheriff Alton find out who has taken her in time to save her?
If there’s one place in the world where you don’t want to live its Black Rock Falls out in the wilderness of Montana. There are so many murders and serial killers that even with the best Sheriff team of Kane, Alton & Wolfe, I would still feel decidedly worried about living anywhere near here! Sheriff Jenna Alton is back on the case of the missing teenager, alongside her deputy Dave Kane. As in the other books, the partnership between these two characters is fantastic! Even though it’s a crime series, I keep my fingers crossed with every book that Jenna and Dave will have more than just a “working relationship” because they are just perfect together! Kane maintains his role as protector, security expert and general all-round tough guy in this story and whilst women’s rights and equality does go out of the window here, I certainly wouldn’t object to someone like Kane being my own personal bodyguard!!
The story jumps straight into the action in the first few pages and this doesn’t let up until you turn the last page. I think I’ve said this with almost every book in this series, but the descriptions of the location of Black Rock Falls blows me away every time, with the vast wilderness of where this little town is based being really hard to understand for someone who has very rarely left the UK! This storyline is a little more upsetting than previous books as it does predominantly feature the abduction and murder of schoolgirls, and I find this always makes me a little teary with the reactions of their parents, family and of course the Sheriff’s team.
There is absolutely nothing negative which I can say about this book though. I was genuinely disappointed to finish it, and I feel sorry for the next book I read as it will it be very difficult to live up to the high standards set by this one! The list of suspects throughout the book got bigger and bigger as the story moved on and it was written in such a way that I found it impossible to work out who the killer may be as, to be honest, it could have been any of them!! This book had me completely hooked and had me reading well into the early hours as I just couldn’t put it down! It was a fantastic crime book that was filled with so much action and suspense that I’m sure I could feel my heart beating just that little bit faster! This is definitely down on my list of one of the best series that I have read and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
