I am really enjoying this series with Katz and Styles. D.K. Hood has a brilliant style of writing that grips you from the first page and draws you in. It’s great to see the relationship developing between Katz & Styles. A fast paced full of tension edge of your seat storyline that I couldn’t read quick enough. I really liked the mentions of the Black Rock Falls team and the interaction between the two different series. I can’t recommend this series and author highly enough. Can’t wait for the next book..

FBI agent Beth Katz and her partner Dax Styles are back!!!!! Woohoo! I had high hopes coming into this book and D.K. Hood did not let me down. I found this book to be thrilling, gripping, thought provoking, suspenseful, and hard to put down. In this book they are hunting a diabolical and crafty serial killer. I was fully invested in this book from the very beginning and my attention never wavered. I enjoyed the pacing, the writing and the sense of danger, and the characters.

Beth Katz is such an interesting character. Not only is she and FBI agent but she is the daughter of a serial killer and a vigilante killer! Whew! Talk about a lot going on in someone's life. Beth is a strong cookie who doesn't back down, she is intelligent, crafty, and strong. Dax Styles is also a great character. He is charming, smart, dedicated to his job, and very observant. I enjoy their working relationship. There is some sexual tension between them and while it is fun to read, I hope they never cross that line.

I love books with tension and suspense and this book had both. I liked the cat-and-mouse in this book. There is a sense of danger and unease that flows throughout the book. Will the killer strike again? Will Beth and Styles solve the case? I enjoyed being a silent observer watching Beth and Styles hunt for a killer while Beth was also trying to hide her "secret" life as a vigilante. This kept things interesting and tense.

Although this book could be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend going back to the beginning of the series. It provided a lot of Beth's backstory which I feel would make this book even more enjoyable.

Gripping, well written, suspenseful, and hard to put down!

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Beth Katz and Dax Styles, both FBI agents in rural Montana, have another potential serial case on their hands... and Beth might have found another one. Women/young girls are being abducted from convenience stores across many counties. As Beth and Dax try to narrow down potential suspects, Beth's spidy senses are tingling about another string of murders that no one has tied together yet. With great character ties in from the Kane and Alton Series, Dark Hearts is a wonderful read - and trip to rural Montana. The authors descriptions are so real - and the dialog between the two partners realistic and honest. A great series to look forward to! Thank you to Bookouture for an advanced reader of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

I am really enjoying the series featuring agents Katz and Styles. We learn a bit more of their background in this latest episode, which is filled with tension. The storyline is centred around a serial killer and the Montana setting is beautiful. Is someone figuring out the identity of the Tarot Killer I wonder? Roll on the next in the series which I can highly recommend. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Dark Hearts is the 3rd book in the Special Agent Beth Katz series by D.K. Hood. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone or as part of the series. I recommend reading the series because it is so good! This series is connected to the Detectives Kane and Alton series and shares characters.

I am obsessed with this series and Dark Hearts did not let me down. This fast paced book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.

Beth is such an interesting character, FBI Agent by day, serial killer/ vigilante avenger whenever the time is right. I find it fascinating that I love this character.

I love that this is tied into the Detectives Kane and Alton world. I love the overlap of characters and situations.

This is such a fascinating read and I absolutely recommend it!!!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Special Agent Beth Katz #3

When a robbery at a local store ends with multiple deaths and the abduction of a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Cassidy Wilder, FBI agents Beth Katz and her partner Daz Styles are called in. Visiting Cassidy's family home just a couple of blocks away from the quiet little store where she went missing, Beth's heart breaks as she talks to her grieving patents and promises to find their daughter.

I'm really enjoying this v=new series about serial killers/ Beth knows how their mind work as her father was a serial killer, But FBI agent Beth Katz is also a serial killer, and leaves at the scene of the crime, a Tarot card by the body. We get to know a bit more about Beth and her partner, Daz Styles. There is a spate of robberies where the robber shoots the customers in the convenience store and takes a young girl hostage. Some characters from the Detective Kane and Alton series make an appearance in this book. I like the author's writing style, and God knows where she gets her fabulous ideas on what she writes about. Although I really shouldn't, I root for Beth all the way.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #Bookouture and the author #DKHood for my ARC of #DarkHearts in exchange for an honest review.

When the hunter becomes the hunted!

Will this be the end for the Tarot Card Killer?

Book 3 in the Katz and Styles serves up two cases for this duo chasing down serial killers, one a cold killer, the "convenience store killer". Beth, AKA the Tarot Card Killer, has her eyes on another serial killer and hatches a plan to investigate the case, but will this second killer be apprehended by law enforcement or be taken out by vigilante justice? sorry, not giving any spoilers here.

In true D.K Hood style, it is fast paced, at times edge of your seat action. I love these characters, in addition to the cross over characters from the Kane & Alton Series - Wolf and his team, and Jo & Carter, with Kane and Alton also making an appearance in this book.

Heart pounding and jaw dropping from the moment you pick this one up. Brutal violence spanning several small counties and no end in sight. Two killers and a team we have come to love to solve this. A combination of vigilante justice and solid police work.
This book is unstoppable. It races at a breakneck speed making it impossible to put down. I was horrified at this one. I read it in one sitting as I had to know how it ended. I adore the characters and the plot was phenomenal
This is a must read

LOVE IT! Dark Hearts by DK Hood is the 3rd book in the series with Beth Katz.

I love the different perspective of Beth Katz being both FBI and a vigilante serial killer that rids the population of murderers that have escaped proper justice. It keeps you wondering about the character development but also about the murder at hand. I just want to know will Beth be able to continue playing both sides of the spectrum or will she get caught! I am hooked on the series for that alone!

The supporting characters are easy to like and feel attachment to. You get some character cross over from the Kane/Alton series and therefore it is fun to see the outsider perspective of some of our favorites from the other series.

I highly recommend this book. It could be read as a stand alone but i highly recommend delving into the entire series and start book one to see the growth and development. While you are at it, read the Alton/Kane series too!

Fantastic book and series. Run out and get your copy right now!

Thank you to NetGalley, DK Hood and Bookouture for the eARC.

A quick read filled with murder and mystery and catch me if you can murders. Styles and Beth are solving cases and stopping killers, one way or the other

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another crackling thrill ride filled with twists and shocks that will surprise you!! What a thrill ride this book was…I had no idea who was the killer right up until the very end, and boy was I surprised…I had figured it was someone else. Again we got to spend some time in Black Rock Falls with a quick appearance by Dave and Jenna, and I adore the budding friendship between Beth and Wolfe. Fans of DK will love this newest installment in the Katz and Styles series

Another thrilling instalment in this series. Beth Katz is an FBI agent, but also a serial killer. But she only kills killers that have slipped through the net. There is a lot of cross over with D K Hoods other characters. It is interesting to watch the character development between these cast members.
I am looking forward to future developments.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the third in a series, but does read okay as a stand alone. I do think the best experience would be if you read them in order. I do so enjoy reading about how Beth Katz thinks. She is super interesting, but I keep thinking she is going to get caught. I really enjoyed this one. I would like to see more development of relationships for Beth. 4 stars Well worth a read,

Out of the three books, this was my least favorite. The action is good, but I would have liked to see more focus on one killer. I’d also like to see some more relationship building with Beth as well. Overall, it’s still an enjoyable book and I will read the next one in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my approval to read and review this book.

The story starts on a Sunday with a robbery and the kidnapping of Cassidy, Special Agent Beth Katz based in Rattlesnake Creek FBI field office, and her partner Agent Dax Styles. Beth and Dax are brought in to investigate the Convenience Store Killer, which leads them on a rollercoaster of a ride to discover who and why the crimes are occuring. They also are on the hunt for The Night Creeper! The plot is well written with great descriptions of the characters and locations. This book kept me glued to the book and guessing right till the end. I will be recommending this book.

FBI Agents Beth and Styles are assigned their next case, and they WILL get their man. Following their quest for justice is an exciting ride…especially when one of them is intent on doling out a different type of justice! This was a very entertaining read!

Book 3 in this fabulous series. This author’s books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found. Compelling and didn’t want it to end!

I absolutely cannot get over this series! I have devoured all three books and cannot wait for the next one! DK's writing style is super easy to read yet very sophisticated in that she gets you with every twist and turn. I love the dynamic between the two main characters as their relationship continues to ebb and flow. This series has made me want to read her other series!!

I can finally draw breath! I think I've been holding it for some time as each chapter left me more spellbound and on edge than the last! This series just gets better and better. I love that we are gaining more insights into Beth and also Styles and seeing what makes them tick. I love the way their relationship is evolving and watching their partnership grow. They are investigating a brutal killer who ruthlessly mows down innocent bystanders while he robs convenience stores , in each case abduction a young girl who he rapes and tortures before dumping her body next morning. While actively pursuing the convenience store killer, Beth in her guise as the Tarot card killer is also pursuing the killer known as the Night Creeper. I have literally not been able to put this book down ! The storytelling is fast paced , gritty and nailbiting with more twists and turns than a rabbit warren. D.K.Hood is just going from strength to strength with the most captivating stories ,brilliant characterisation and fast paced action. I love Styles' adorable dog,Bear- though his attachment to Beth is nearly her ondoing! It's also exciting to bump into our favourite characters from the brilliant Kane and Alton series-even,briefly, Jenna and Dave. I've just put this book down but it's left me gasping for MORE PLEASE!!

This is the 3rd in the series of DK Hood's special agent Beth Katz series. Beth has two very different personalites within her the FBI agent who sails close to the law breaking line and the dark side of her which no one wants to be on the receiving end off.
This one Beth and Styles are investigating shoot outs in stores and trying to catch the bad guys.
It feels this book their is more insight to how Beth is feeling and how she is perceiving people.
Thankyou for advanced copy.
