Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Drawn to Death by Kat Shehata in exchange for an honest review. This book was a bit more romance than I wanted, but was still a good mystery. First book I read by the author and I enjoyed it.

Not usually my style, but what a read. When Evelyn’s best friend is murdered, it up to her and the sexy detective in charge to solve the case. But will he believe her unorthodox method of doing it?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

A fantastic romantic suspense thriller with undertones of the paranormal where the heroine, artist Evelyn’s work is inspired by her new disturbing ability to see spirits after a near death experience. This ability suddenly escalate and becomes more intense when she sees the ghost of her friend Sydney who wants her to solve her murder. This doesn’t do much for Evelyn’s love life as her prospective interest is none other than Leo Ricci, the homicide detective in charge of the investigation, a man who doesn’t believe in any kind of psychic abilities and thinks Evelyn knows more about the murder than she’s letting on.

I loved the plot for Drawn to Death with the paranormal vibes it gave off. Did I guess who the murderer was? Yes but not too early in the book and the build up of overall story telling kept me gripped throughout. I loved the hero and heroine. Their chemistry was palpable and steamy from the start despite their differing attitudes. Leo’s scepticism when it comes to anything he can’t see or explain while Evelyn is unapologetically open about her abilities and her desire to help no matter what the cost to her own safety bringing them into conflict with each other on several occasions. Once they got past their differences they made quite the team. This is supposed to be the first book in a new series featuring Leo and Evelyn and I can’t see how that’ll work out but I can’t wait to find out.

Good read! I like the plot of the story. The thriller part sucks you in, to the point where you can't put it down. The romance part gives it a pleasurable side, evening out the positive and negative. Some sections seem a little choppy, an overflow of thoughts from the author seeming necessary. But a good flow of the story.

Leo what a jerk, because you cant see it dosnt mean its not real. What a logic people *sigh* Evelyn better off without him. I glad Evelyn can stand for herself make it clear it is over.

“I could never date a man who doesn’t believe in my gift.”

Ofcourse the story not end like that lol. I enjoy Evelyn experience who lead to solve murder cases. Beside that her relationship with Leo growing. Leo slowly believe in her ability and accept it.

"Life would never be dull with Evelyn, and I was ready to take that wild ride with her."

I hope more book in this series!

Thank you to NetGalley for provide this book, it is pleasure to review this book.

This is the first book I have read by Kat Shehata. The author created an interesting story where a woman medium who has ghost who use her to solve her murder. Leo is pretty much a typical cop in a romantic suspense story. He is skeptical but is willing to listen to Evelyn to solve the murders.

Yes the two characters are also romantic interest for each other so yup sexy time happens. If you don't not want graphic sex scenes just skip this book. That being said the story is interesting and reader will find it difficult to put down the mystery needing it to be solved.

Thank you to Netgalley for advance copy of Drawn to Death.

I couldn't read fast enough! This first book in a new series is unique and will suck you in. The characters are fantastic! I was completely invested in Evelyn and Leo. The suspense had my throat tightening. The romance is sexy, steamy, and frustrating. There are twists you won't see coming. There's something for everyone as this story combines genres into an absolute page-turner! I can't wait for the next one!

Excellent suspense thriller with a little paranormal vibe!!! Kat Shehata's Drawn to Death had thrills and chills with some really great steamy sex with amazing characters and a great storyline as well. And the fact that Evelyn one of our main characters is not only a talented artist but after a near death experience she now can communicate with the dead through dreams and art. And when a friend of hers Sydney is abducted from her house and killed by a sick and twist man who has been stalking her and leaving messages and gifts, but now his obsession has lead to her death. Now in spirt form she comes to Evelyn to help stop her killer and bring him to justice before he kills again. And the very handsome and totally alpha detective Leo Ricci who Evelyn meant at the coffee shop and then invited to her big gallery showing was all hot and personal now thinks she's a crack pot and a liar who is just making up the whole thing of talking to the dead woman. The chemistry was awesome between Leo and Evelyn and their pissing match at the coffee shop had me laughing my ass off! Evelyn is a smart and tough chic who didn't take any shit from Leo from the beginning and while I loved this big and bad sexy as fuck detective I didn't like when he turned on Evelyn, he acted like a real alpha hole but once he realized the killer was targeting her and that what she knew was totally legit he stepped up in a big way. Plus he was a marvelous lover in the bedroom and very dedicated to Evelyn pleasure and quite dominant and hands on! Lets put it this way.... Leo can handcuff me anytime! A Great pace and some awesome storytelling with a action and a race to the end to find this disturbed serial killer kept me fully invested!! Kat Shehata did a hell of a job and is a fabulous writer ! Until next time Luv's💕💋

Writing: 5/5
Character Development: 4/5
Spice: 3/5

Warnings: Language, Sex, Violence

POV: Dual

Themes: Mystery, Thriller, Romance

Drawn to Death is a book about a medium artist that helps a skeptic detective solve a string of murders while trying not to become a victim herself. I couldn’t put this book down because it was so good. I loved Evelyn and Leos relationship and how they were able to help each other see from another point of view. And how they were both strong characters. The mystery of trying to find the killer wasn’t predictable but it also didn’t come out of left field. It had a perfect mixture of mystery and romance.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery and the growing relationship between two strong, and sometimes stubborn, characters.

I received a free copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.
