There is so much to say about Colleen Helme’s newest Shelby Nichols novel, Marked for Murder and all of it is great: Amazing, Fantastic, Unexpected, Intense, Heart-stopping, Heart-rending, Swoon-worthy. New readers and fans are sure the adore what may be the best book in the series.
I love the fact that Shelby’s relationships have grown through the series. I love that she becomes more comfortable with her mind-reading and with all the new roles that it has opened for her. I love the fact that she can have a major crush on Ramos, every dreamers’ drool-worthy book boyfriend, and that Ramos not only respects her love for her husband, but appreciates her integrity.
So much happened in this book, and all of it held me in a grip that kept me frustrated this week because I kept having to stop reading. When we are in the grip of a fascinating book, life just needs to move aside for a bit. From a distraught mother to a vengeful maniac stalking Shelby, the intensity of the book never lets up, but Ms. Helme continues to give up those oh-so-Shelby bits of humor that shine in every book.
This review is for the audio book.
Wow I really enjoyed this story! It was action packed from start to finish with a great plot, explosions gun fights and fire bombs. I just love the characters and the unusual situations they find themselves in. Colleen has a great style of writing that keeps the reader hooked even if this is the first book you have read or if you have read every book in this great series.
Shelby is looking forward to her friends wedding but when a unfortunate incidence thrusts her into the lime light, she gains a stalker with dangerous mind games on his mind. After a few close calls Shelby turns to Uncle Joey for help when the stalker start to leave her unwanted gifts and surprises. She also has to worry about her husband’s co-worker who seems to be in some big trouble that somehow involves her husband. But when things start to impact on the wedding Shelby needs the help from both her cop friends and her mob friends to keep everyone alive.
The narrator was very good and has an easy listening style that makes the book enjoyable.
Another great Shelby book. She is running in all directions, trying to help a woman prove she is the mother of the baby. Find who killed Chris’s junior lawyer. Discover her stalker.
ALL OF THE ABOVE ! COLLEEN ‘S BOOKS ARE ALL GREAT READES.
The Shelby Nichols books are like potato chips, you can’t just read one. I will be starting #10 in the series soon.
I enjoy this series. Shelby investigates mysteries, has a wedding to attend and is being stalked. The action is a rollercoaster ride. I like the humor. This series gets better with each book
What a ride. I have read every Shelby book and they just keep getting better and better. Coleen Helme is a wonderful writer, she touches every emotion. I love the main characters, they seem like old friends. Thanks for such a great series.
Okay, now that my heart-rates come back down I can write my review…
Damn that story was intense, with a few shocks, that cause a few melt-downs from me…lol But I kept going because It’s Colleen Helme and Shelby and I couldn’t put it down but at times I really wanted to look away.
Marked for Murder was a superbly awesome story, seriously I have loved Shelby Nichols from the very beginning and Colleen Helem is a master at making each new mystery better than the previous ones, but Marked for Murder was a step above again, so much adventure, action that was totally unexpected but wow, wow, wow and of course a few Harley rides with Ramos I thought the addition of Uncle Joey in the Tesla was funny…
Thanks, Colleen for another amazing book…
