“love all of her books!”

I picked it up not realizing it was actually the second book in a series, but I don’t think it mattered. There were a few references to book 1, but this stood pretty well on it’s own. I liked Melanie a lot… She’s a smart, sassy prosecutor, but she’s not full of herself and knows she makes some stupid decisions. She felt like a fresh character to me, not the same old strong female lead. Dan is a little on the cheesy side, but I liked the two of them together. The attraction seemed very natural. I’m hoping we get to know him better in the later books (there’s four total in the series now). There’s lots of twists and turns here, and what starts out looking like a couple of ODs turns out to be a whole lot more. It’s definitely not what you would expect, either! I had no clue who the bad guy was going to be, so I enjoyed the surprise of the reveal. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good suspense novel, and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. In fact, I may even keep this paperback instead of swapping it!”

A murder mystery with enough twists and turns to keep it very interesting. I didn't know who the killer was until the end and it was a mind blower! Just a touch of romance to spice it up too.”

Yes | No“I haven't read any of the other titles in this series and I don't think they have to be read in order (other than to track the love interest of the main character). Melanie Vargas makes an interesting protagonist and the plot was sufficiently complex and clever to keep my interest. The insertion of Spanish phrases is a little strange. Granted, she's Hispanic but they sometimes came up at odd moments in the story. Other than that minor annoyance, this is a pretty good suspense novel.”
