Emma - Star Crossed Reviews Extraordinary reader

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. This is the 14th book in the Detective Morgan Brookes series but you could read it as a standalone.

This story hits close to home for Morgan and Ben as a couple were killed only two doors down. Helen doesn't shy away from giving all the gruesome details of the murders and you can so easily paint a vivid picture of what Morgan and the team are seeing.

There were quite a few twists and turns on this one that kept me guessing what exactly was going on! The clues were scarce and everything brought up more questions than answers really. I didn't really work out what had happened until Morgan herself did. Helen did a good job of keeping the killer hidden.

the story was fast paced and never really lets up. I was on the edge of my seat when Morgan's friend was attacked. I am not sure if I can forgive you for that Helen, I'm still very torn up about it.

If you are looking for a Crime thriller that will reel you in from the very first page and keep you hooked until the last then this is the book for you!
