Book 2 and in the series so far and let me tell you it was a amazing read and I cannot wait to read more from this author
Detective Ryan Xander and his partner Paige Hood have just been sent to murder scene where the unborn baby has been taken out of the mother’s womb and the mother, Brooke Mariano brutally murdered.
The murder has taken place at the home of Judge Logan Everette II and it seems like almost everyone is a suspect. Soon more murders are occurring at the home and those remaining seem to be hiding something.
Sofia Everette is one the judge’s daughters who does not live at home after being disowned by her father after not marrying the man he picked out for her. As she watches members of her family being killed will she be next?
Can Ryan and Paige take down the killer before anyone else is killed and will they discover the family’s darkest secrets?
Wow – this was another great book in this series and I really look forward to more.
I was shocked from the first murder down to the last and I was shocked at how cold the murderer was and how everything was so well planned out.
I thought Ryan and Paige were great detectives and really trying to do their job, which was difficult with Judge Everette. He was so difficult and you could tell right from the beginning how many secrets he had within his family.
Sofia was awesome but I was very worried about her and how sick she appeared to be. She really wanted the murderer caught and I was frustrated at what her father did to silence her.
This family had so many dark secrets and I was so shocked at what started to be revealed and how twisted certain things ended up being. That being said I was so impressed with the author’s ability to create such a web of craziness and horror.
I had figured out who the killer was before it was revealed but I was not disappointed in the least as I needed to know what was behind the reasons for the killings and I was not disappointed.
I look forward to more in the series! – By Rebecca
Twisted and Thrilling!
Once again this amazing author knows just how to keep us entertained and enthralled with her stories. Two is thrilling and suspenseful and full of so many twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Lots of mystery and romance to keep you coming back for more.
WOW! So many twists and turns! So many secrets! And nobody is safe… ya’ll if you like suspense then this series is definitely for you!
Once again Jane has brought me a book full of twists, turns, suspense and mind blowing moments. Another book in this series that has nonstop action from beginning to end that will hook you and have you turning the page to see what is going to happen next. I absolutely loved the storyline, plot and characters. Jane writes an amazing book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
This one is all about Sophie and Detective Ryan. These two meet when someone decides to murder someone at her family home. Detective Ryan knows that there is something special with Sophie and wants to make sure that things go well with her. He wants to be there for her through all this mess. But the mess only gets worse when more people in her family start dying. It is like someone is purposely taking out a member of the family one at a time. But for some reason Sophie is the only family member that is left alone. That right there is the first clue for me that the person is someone that cares about Sophie. But really who could the killer be? There are so many different people that could be the killer. Jane doesn’t really give you any clues until later into the book. She has you thinking one person for the longest time but then bam it isn’t at all who you think it is. I absolutely loved this book. This is the second in this series and it is a great book to this series. I am loving each and every one I have read so far from this series. I cant wait to read the rest. I highly recommend one clicking this series and this author. Her books are amazing.
After finished One, I couldn’t wait to start Two! This book was bloody fantastic, pun intended! So many twists and turns, I had no idea which way was up at some points! I can’t even begin to explain how screwed up my brain became while reading, trying to guess who was the “bad guy” and trying to figure out motive behind it. This is what I would call a rollercoaster story and what a ride. Hooked from the beginning until the very last page. I can’t wait to dive into Three!
This book a twisted, dark, suspenesful, with loads of plots twist and a person who will blow your mind . From the beginning it will pull you in and keep you there will all the action,heart pounding, heartbreaking emotional read till the very end. Amazing read you can’t put down and will make you want to read the next.
Loved it, kept me guessing, can’t wait to read the rest of the series
With the murder of Brooke Mariano the Everette family are immediately suspected due to her connection with them. That is until the killer strikes the family!
Intrigue abounds in this book with more puzzle pieces being scattered as the story progresses, I loved it! This author is without doubt a genius in creating carefully constructed mysteries and weaving stories within stories. Even when the killer is identified, the reasons why are intriguing too.
Ryan and Sofia are such a fabulous couple, they’re sweet but new and everything is special. I really liked Sofia as a character, she is gentle and kind but also has an inner strength that is admirable. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, especially when she senses things are wrong. Ryan has a wonderful sense of family and is very supportive of his own. Being destroyed by loss in love is something many people go through, he just took it to extremes by never wanting to pursue another relationship before formally meeting Sofia. It’s amazing how meeting the right one often cancels out those thoughts.
I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining suspense story and can’t wait to read Three!
Another utterly twisted and enthralling addition to what I’m sure is going to be a fantastic series. I’m definitely looking forward to what the other books are going to bring. As with book 1 I was immediately hooked by this suspenseful and complex story. Once I got started I didn’t want to put it down until I found out how it was all going to end.
3 1/2*
I started this book thinking it was a follow on from the Detective in One, however it isn’t.
Ryan has been sent to investigate the death of Brooke Mariano at the Everett estate. Her death & the circumstances are a mystery unfortunately the killer isn’t done yet.
Sofia hasn’t lived at home for a while she still helps the charities but her mystery illness is slowing her down.
I enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to reading the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Nice series
OMG! Think this is my favourite book by this author so far.
The Everett’s family bring a whole new meaning to messed up….I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. My kindle in a death grip. Not having a bloody clue what was going to happen next. The suspense was off the charts…
Can’t wait to read Three
I rexievwd a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I love her books! I thought one was suspenseful. Wait until you read two.
This book is filled with suspense and thrills and brutality.
I highly recommend her books to anyone who like suspense
Talk about being born to wrong family, the Everett family would be that family, lol. The creepy crawly aspect of this story kept me intrigued but it was a little abrupt in how certain things unfolded but it worked for the book overall. I really enjoyed Ryan but Sophia was up and down for me at times. Looking forward to starting Three
Yet another suspense filled book from this talented author.
Just when you think you have everything figured out more bombs get dropped
Omg what the heck wow I couldn’t believe it at all so freaking good and I so cant wait for more to come give me give me give me lol
If you think you have a dysfunctional family, well then evidently you haven’t met the controlling, diabolical, Elite Everett family. What goes on behind their closed doors is enough to make your skin crawl. Things you are forbidden to speak about that could hurt your family’s reputation. Someone has a vendetta against the Everetts, killing them off slowly one by one.
Sophia is the only member of the Everett family that has the courage to speak to Detective Ryan and Detective Paige about her family. Her family has disowned her since she became independent and the fears she’s coping with due to her illness, which her father uses as an excuse insisting that she is delusional.
For a year Ryan has been captivated by Sofia but would not approach her thinking she had a boyfriend. There is a strong chemistry between them. Once again the author has blown me away with her creative talent and imagination.
Betrayal, rape, murder, and hell that’s all within one family. This group is governed by a stern dictator who doesn’t want his family name tarnished. But something happens and all of a sudden the family is in danger and being picked off one at a time. Dirty laundry doesn’t begin to cover the deeds of this family and all they have done. This family takes dysfunctional to a new level. When they are judged and convicted in the eyes of one there is only one that might be spared and she has Officer Ryan’s eye and protection if she listens that is. This is a fast paced, action filled read much easier to navigate than the first book in the series and with just as many surprises. From what I have seen this author likes her action fast, dirty and spares no one in her wake. And from the sneak peek I can’t imagine where she is going from here.
