A serial killer… easiest thing, but Emberlyn Roth had managed by shear grit and the skin of her teeth. It’s too bad one can’t outrun their past.
A protector of the wronged, Shane is torn between his duty as a detective for the Jacksonville PD and a quest to find himself some peace. Red tape binds his capabilities and moonlighting as an investigator for Nightshade Securities has him feeling stretched thin. Late nights on the streets and his sense of duty keeps him from being the father he wants to be. Throw onto his already rickety house of cards, an attraction to the mysterious Emberlyn, the lead he’s got on the murderer he’s been hunting for nearly a decade, and threats his woman is receiving by an unsavory character from her past, and he’s seriously tempted to take Dalton Kipper’s offer to join his team in a permanent basis.
Rules have a place, but when you’re faced with losing the one that means most to you, lines can become blurred. With the fate of his family’s future hanging in the balance, he’s ready to risk it all.

Light at the end of the Tunnel….
Carey Decevito has done it again!! This second book in the Night Shade series is just as amazing as the first book. I love Shane Peters, a cop, protector and loving single father to his spitfire of a daughter Rosie. Shane has been an empty emotional shell of a man since his wife Eva was murdered 8 years ago. He has been on a mission since to find her killer. There have been 18 other lives that have been taken since and the murderer does not seem to be slowing down. Shane has focused on his job, his daughter and his mom. He cannot seem to move forward with any permanent romantic relationships since his wife died.
His daughter strikes up a friendship with their neighbor. Emberlyn is gorgeous and he wonders how he has never noticed her before. They have an instant attraction to each other that stirs up lost feelings from both of them. Emberlyn had an abusive husband who is still stalking her even though they are now divorced. Shane and Emberlyn’s personal tragedies collide when they seek out the murderer together as a team. The urgency to finally put this all to rest is strong as they both want and need to go forward in their lives.
This is a suspenseful and angsty story with lots of sizzle and steam between Shane and Emberlyn. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
I have actually met Carey at a signing and she is a sweet, genuine person and that carries over into her characters. I loved the tension between Shane and Ember as their story played out. There were some times that I wished the flow was a little more fluid or that the characters choices made a little more sense… But all in all, this was a great book!
Right OMG!!! this book I really can not say enough good things about it.
So my expectations were not very high when I started this, first I don’t read much romantic suspense and second, this author is an unknown for me.
Well, let me tell you Carey Decevito has blown me away with “Night Shift” I couldn’t put this down, Simply stunning.
So on to my review, So this was my first book by the talented Carey Decevito and I would classify Night Shift as belonging to the romantic suspense genre.
The basic gist here is that Shane Peters a cop is on the hunt for a serial killer.
A killer that eight years ago murdered his wife leaving him a grieving widower with a baby daughter.
Ever since the killer has been murdering two women a year lookalikes to Shanes dead wife.
Shane knows its personal and is determined to apprehend the sadistic monster that stole his life.
Over the street to Shane lives Emberlyn a gorgeous sassy blonde with secrets and haunted eyes.
With Shane’s little girl an avid fan of his neighbour, he himself starts to take a keen interest and it’s not long before the two begin to fall, but with both their pasts gunning for them it’s not long before events start to convene into one big clusterfuck.
So that’s the condensed version of this enthralling story.
The story itself has no big twists in regards to plotlines but that really doesn’t matter as this story and the emotion it conveys grab you by the throat instantly.
The main characters themselves are extremely likeable and the love story that slowly emerges is just beautiful in its simplicity.
I don’t usually like dead perfect wife tropes, but it really didn’t bother me with Night Shift maybe because the author manages to convey the intimacy and sentiments between Shane, Emberlyn and the little girl Rosie so perfectly.
I am just in love with this adorable little family.
I’m not really going to delve into the actual plot much as you can read that for yourself.
But I will just say, give this a go, I’m highly confident you won’t be bored.
This story flowed brilliantly with plenty of action and had all the ingredients to keep its reader hooked to the very end.
I was provided with an ARC of Night Shift (Nightshade Book 2) by Carey Decevitoof which I have reviewed voluntary.
