Review
I recently finished reading volume one in the series so jumped at the chance to read the second!
The author nicely keeps the format from the previous volume, some stories a longer than others but each have a dark/gritty undertone with twists to really engage the reader
To give you an idea of what’s in-store for you lucky readers I’ll let you know my favorite two stories!
Three ways to die – Xander has a chance to prove he’s still capable.. still able of pulling of a job..his job you ask? Well let’s just say he takes out the trash.. but this trash just so happens to be an FBI agent and lady luck is not on Xander’s side!
A burning question – One of the books longer tales where we see Detective Kay Hunter search for an arsonist.. will there be another target? what’s the reasoning behind the crimes? who is at danger? A very clever. gritty tale.
I don’t want to give too much away but I really enjoyed the quick, sharp details, the dark undertone which just sets the aymosphere prefectly.
There’s lots to enjoy too, while there’s the dark crime theme each story is different so you are constantly aroused, your attention piqued.
It’s a lovely quick read, flows just perfect so you don’t get bogged down.
Another cracking collection!
4/5 Stars.
My thanks go to the author, publisher and Zoé @ Zooloo’s Book Tours for having me on the tour!
