I purchased a copy of the Dark Tidings in the Dark Falls Box Set 1-5 Dark Falls, CO Romantic Thrillers: Mari and Beck by Trish McCallan et al and this review was given freely.
Gruesome and graphic with one murder after another, this novel occurs all in the present and relays the corruption, unfaithfulness and entitlement of Judge Phillip ” The Hammer” Hammond. There is a smaller side story of widower Senator Beck Gatling’s attempts after 10 years to reunite with Detective Marisol Zaragoza’s.
18+ for graphic violence and intimate scenes. Ends happily.
The storyline was well written and the characters were so well rounded that I was hooked from the very beginning! The chemistry between Marisol and Beck was off the charts HOT which kept me turning the pages until the very last page!
An action-packed romantic thriller
Marisol and Beck get a second chance at love in this action-packed romantic thriller. Mari’s long ago relationship with Beck caused her to close her heart to anyone else. Now he’s back in town and wants her back. At the same time, there are events going on in Mari’s work as a detective that are strange, and Beck keeps getting wrapped up in it.
Well written, quick paced with unexpected moments, humor from the grandmother, with angst and drama. The plot seems to get the focus here, with second place going to the romance, but still a good read.
A great storyline! Hard to put down! Intense and Emotional! Hot Chemistry! I truly enjoyed this read! Get it and Read it!

Dark Tidings is the tenth book in the series. It is another amazing read with intriguing characters. This talented author knows how to weave a tale that draws you in and keeps you engaged until the end. Her vivid, descriptive storytelling makes you feel like you are a part of the world that she has created. This is another amazing read and I would definitely recommend it.

At times it feels like there’s a lot going on in this story, but it’s a little like the movie Crash: there are several different, overlapping plot threads that all tie together in the end. The thriller this book centers around held me captive nearly from the beginning. The romance wasn’t quite as compelling. One of the things that bothered me a bit is just how similar the “break-up” story between our leading couple is to that of Delany and Zach of Dark Memories. I’ll admit, I probably wouldn’t have caught it if I hadn’t been reading the books back to back but having read them in rapid succession it really stood out. I loved Marisol. I would have loved a little bit more detail about how/why she came to Dark Falls, however everything about this strong, independent woman appeals to me. Beck left me see-sawing. There were times I adored him and times I wanted to smack him. You can tell his base character is that of an honorable man, but he’s also gotten a bit (make that a lot) spoiled and he spends a significant amount of time behaving like an entitled jerk. On a lighter note, I particularly enjoyed the unexpected moments of humor that the elder generation provides in this book.

Loved this storyline is awesome I had a great time getting to know the well developed and engaging characters. The flow of the storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to the end. Will Marisol catch the killer and her man?

I thoroughly enjoyed this great romance.
The characters were so great and the chemistry between the two main characters was scorching hot and the relationships of the teammates is hilarious.
There are many twists and turns and lots of danger and intrigue.
The story is well written and very enjoyable.

DARK TIDINGS By Trish McCallan
This is the 10th book in the multi author Dark Falls Series. It is a very welcome trip back by the always captivating Trish McCallan. I always know I am going to get a quality read that I will enjoy from Trish. This second chance romance has everything, drama, intrigue, suspense, and characters with great chemistry. This is the story of Marisol and Beck. Ten years ago he shattered her heart and stepped all over it. Now he is back and would like to reconnect with her however, Mari is not the same broken woman he left behind, she is a successful detective in the PD. She has to contact Beck when a dead body shows up. Rhys Evans from Dark Legacy also makes a welcome appearance. I highly recommend this book, I stayed up late reading it in one setting. I give this 5 stars.

This has been a great multi author series. Even tho their writing styles are different each author brings a different couple to the Dark Falls family of detectives. This is Marisol and Becks story. This book had it all a second chance romance at its best. Having been a couple ten years before life and circumstances separated them only for fate to throw them back together again in Dark Falls. The story is full of drama and suspense but also a lot of love. Great book highly recommend this book and series.
