The only thing more terrifying than taking a life is creating one. The positive pregnancy test rocks my world harder than any bomb or bullet. Like the hurricane bearing down on Miami, it threatens total destruction. I’m confident I can escape Miami, evade the mercenaries intent on killing me, and uncover the people who hired them. But telling the father I’m pregnant… raising a child… I’m not … pregnant… raising a child…
I’m not cut out for motherhood.
I know I’ll survive. It’s everyone I love who dies.
That changes now.

I don’t even know where to begin. I am literally mind blown. So many twists and turns with ALL the feels. We are 12 books deep in this series and it just keeps getting better and better. I really don’t know how Kimelman does it. I have to say that by far my most favorite character is Frank! That lovable beast of a pup has stolen my heart! I love Sydney and Mulberry. I love Dan, Merl, and all of the Joyful Justice gang. I missed Hugh and Santiago. I even admit that I am loving Robert Maxim. These characters are more than just words on a page. They’re drawn out and complex. Their struggles to find peace in their chaotic lives is hard fought. No rest for the weary and all, right? How does one be a vigilante mercenary while contemplating impending motherhood? I for one can’t wait to see how Sydney moves forward from here.
Sydney Rye’s back in her 10th of the A Sydney Rye Mystery series, Savage Grace, by Emily Kimelman.
An unexpected positive result to a pregnancy test and how to tell the father, (Mulberry, her current paramour) become incidental, as INCEL mercenaries are determined to end both her life-and the baby’s. As usual Joyful Justice are deeply involved in making sure Sydney and other innocents are protected if necessary…but a huge hurricane heading for Miami is complicating their plans to take INCEL down for good.
Then there’s the added influence of Robert Maxim – by trusting him, are Sydney and her team nursing a viper in their collective bosom? Read Emily Kimelman’s Sydney Rye Mystery #12, Savage Grace, to find out the thrilling finale’s revelations – you’ll be amazed!
I seem to recall an earlier review of mine for this book so I’ll need to dig to find it and will then update this page. I recall giving it four stars though.
If you like action and suspense and a book that truly deserves to be made into a series or movie, then you have to pick up this one! If, like me, you love animals, this book has those as well. Sydney Rye’s life takes so many twists and turns throughout this book that it was a fast-paced, spy combined with love, combined with a cliffhanger of unimaginable proportions. A new to me author and series that I will continue to follow
Emily Kimelman has left me speechless again!! This series just keeps getting better and better. Savage Grace is filled with so many twists and turns it’ll make your head spin. Sydney Rye is not only fighting for justice, and trying to save the reputation of “Joyful Justice,” but she’s also still struggling with her personal life. In true Emily Kimelman fashion, she left me anxiously awaiting the next installment of this series.
This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the series.
Non-stop action with a kick ass heroine. Anxiety and heartbeat in overload. From the beginning to the end I enjoyed it. A masterpiece
I have enjoyed all of the books in this series! Sydney is a strong, independent, caring in depth character and I love reading her story. I must say this has been my absolute favorite book in the series so far!! This book has so much passion, Intrigue and lots of twists and turns that you won’t be able to put the book down until it’s finished. loved it!
this book really gripped me more than the others and i cant pin point why! however it was a energising plot with good pace. but WOW it was really a gripper and a pregnancy annoucement too! reading how Syndey is coping being pregnant and a bad ass was fantastic and I just cant wait to read the next one to see how this pans out.
Couldn’t put this one down (again! How do you do it, Emily!?). I enjoyed catching up with the gang of complex, intertwined characters and was thrilled by the twists. Didn’t see them coming. I am a dog breeder/owner/trainer and the details of Blue and pups are spot on. No spoilers—these people have me cheering and sneering out loud! Keep up the great work!
Loved Savage Grace! Received an ARC and tore right through it. I love how Sidney’s character has developed over the years. And I love the books where all the various players on the team show up. Looking forward to reading the next in the series! Great job Emily!
This book, oh my goodness, it was so awesome. I loved the story line and loved everything about it. Loved how the book started off with a bang and continued to throw more punches along the way! I was so glad to be reading about Sydney again and was engrossed from the start and couldn’t put the book down. The adventures of Sydney and all the people in her life just keep me coming back for more. I love how Emily grabs your attention from the start and won’t let go even up to the end. She writes in such a way that you keep wanting more! The chemistry between the characters in the book is intense and makes you love all the main characters. This is a book with action, adventure and suspense so if that is what you like to read, this is definitely the book for you!
This author is a master of suspense and twists and turns. She keeps the reader guessing, the characters and storylines fresh and interesting. When you pick this up to read make sure you have the time to invest because you’ll be up all night! Loved it so much!
This is a great continuation to Sydney Rye story, it is full of action and suspense as one might expect. There are actually quite some unanticipated plot twists, especially the ending is something which I would not have dreamt of. I’ll be truly looking forward to the next book as I believe some of the circumstances will be explained there. It was a great read, I have enjoyed it & would definitely recommend.
Once again I am blown away with this series. We are 12 books in and Emily Kimelman has a way of pulling you into a story and won’t let go.
I knew when I started this book that I would not be able to put it down. Sydney has so much on her plate wight now, and we find out that her one fear is …. Motherhood. I can not wait for the next book in this series
Another Sydney Rye and Blue thriller. Some group is out to eliminated Joyful Justice. Sydney has a love triangle going on with Robert and Mulberry. A lot of action and dodging bullets. This is another page turner in the series.
I couldn’t wait to read the next Sydney Rye book as her adventures keep me on the edge of my seat. This book did not disappoint. From the very first page setting up the story to the very last page which left me wanting more. Sydney has a life that seems to go full throttle all the time, just when you think things will go easier something comes up and away we go again. The ending truly had me looking for more pages, how, I mean really I didn’t see that one coming. Can’t wait for the next adventure.
This book was so good! Sydney Rye is a woman on a mission with her faithful hounds by her side. I literally can’t wait to see how becoming a mother is going to shape her future. And Frank. That dog has stolen my heart. If you like action thrillers with strong, independent female protagonists , and big, beautiful dogs, this is the series for you!
Well, this one is a doozy! Non-stop action, what with a powerful hurricane approaching, a dark web group that seems to be intent on stirring up trouble and Sydney’s mom’s new mission in life. It’s interesting – I’ve read 2 different novels in the past few weeks that mention this ‘Incel’ group. At first, I thought it was a fiction writer’s fabrication, but have heard a couple of major news networks bringing it up! Emily Kimelman certainly weaves the current evil stuff into her stories! Read and learn! Joyful Justice to the rescue again! Highly recommended!
I was blessed with an ARC copy of this Sydney Rye adventure. I just love her adventures. Once you start reading it is really hard to put down. There is great character development to go along with the action packed story line. Who is out to kill her and why, or is it really her they are after. Complicated family relationships: Sydney and her mom; Sydney, Mulberry, Robert. All this is weaved into a fantastic tale that keeps you wanting more. I especially love the dogs. They too each have their own lovable personality.
Savage Grace really rocks Sydney’s world on both a personal and a professional level. She is left with anger grief and lots of doubt. Just who can she trust?? The ending was a complete surprise and it will leave you wishing the next installment would be out tomorrow!
Emily Kimelman has written another doozy of non-stop adventure featuring Sydney Rye. Through the series we’ve seen Sydney grow and explore many facets of herself, as well as many topics of inequality in the world. Savage Grace has Sydney examining her feelings towards the men she cares for, as well as impending motherhood, and how those will affect how she proceeds in life.
While wrapped up in her self-examination and early pregnancy, Sydney still deals with the ongoing missions of Joyful Justice and the adversarial group called the Incels, plus a new threat coming from a unknown sector. There are lots of surprises, plenty of action, and new threads to puzzle out.
The Sydney Rye series are fast reads filled with emotion, energy, and endings that leave you yearning for the next book in the series.
