This was a great book by Karen Rose! Love how Karen keeps the focus on the main couples but has so many past couples meander through. As always, the body count was high but the bad guy had some depth and reason which was a nice change. I also liked that the relationships and caring between characters was in all different forms - between siblings, lovers, friends, etc. It was a lot but, in the deft hand of Karen Rose, well done.

I love love loved this book This time the author put so much of her personal and private life in this book. There was so much emotion and sensitive subjects were handled with love and respect I loved all of the characters and loved seeing characters from the other books in this series. You even could not help but feel for the killer. I highly recommend this book and if you like mysteries then do not miss this book

Karen Rose's most personal book to date. The author's note at the beginning shares the genetic condition that her family has that she incorporated into the characters in this book. Knowing that going in it just felt so much more personable and that along with the other condition she gave Dani Novak it was a very heartfelt read. Her characters are always the type that pull you in but this group in this book had for me a much more emotional connection.

Even then thrilling part of the book – the killer – drew an emotional response from you. His reasons for doing what he was doing felt justified until as with anything that crosses the line he started enjoying the acts of vengeance and then got to the point he would do anything to protect himself including wanting to harm the innocent who he started out protecting.

I really enjoyed this book and you could tell the author really put her heart and soul and personal experiences into the writing.

Karen Rose never disappoints! Although 95% of my “reading” is done through audio books these days, I jumped at the chance to get an ARC of Rose’s newest title. For those who are longtime readers, the supporting cast of characters found within are old friends and it was definitely good to see them. Although the plot features a vigilante intent on punishing people he thinks deserve it, time is also spent on the issues of child sexual abuse and living with HIV. We find out more about our heroine, Dani Novak - a supporting character in previous books set in the Cincinnati series, and why she’s been so reluctant to let our hero, Diesel Kennedy, in. These two have danced around each other in previous books, where we’ve gotten hints of some of the issues and trauma that each has had to deal one issues are brought into the light of day as they team up to care for and protect two brothers from both an abusive home environment and a murderer. The story is as engaging as all of Rose’s books, with a variety of twists and turns throughout. Even when you think you’re getting a clear picture, something comes along to shake things up. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The storyline was compelling, although there should be trigger warnings for the child and sexual abuse, the love story was satisfying, and it was good to catch up on old friends. As always, I highly recommend this title by Karen Rose and equally recommend all of her others.

I don't know how Karen Rose keeps doing it but she does. Into The Dark was a fabulous edge of my seat read. I've been waiting for Diesel and Dani's story. I'm so happy that they've found love. I always love how close all the characters are and how we get to catch up with them. Keep writing these books!
