There’s just something about thrillers set in quiet small towns, where seemingly nothing out of the ordinary ever happens. Throw in a serial killer who sends chilling letters about his victims, a snowy winter back setting, and voila! A very chilling read indeed. There’s even a bit of a love story thrown into the mix to balance it all out. This really was a very compelling start to what sounds to be a very promising thrilling series.

This was an extremely fast paced, edge of your seat, page turning romance suspense that will grip you from start to finish. The serial killer and the way in which he taunts and kills his victims will turn your blood as cold as the icy winter surroundings in the story.

There was never a dull moment to be found as the mystery unfolded, and it was also enjoyable to see the romance blossoming between the two main characters, Kir and Lynne.

Definitely a solid mystery! Well plotted, cleverly written and excellently executed, with a fast paced plot with plenty of twists and turns that keep you guessing from start to finish. Can’t wait to see what happens next in the series!

4 mysterious stars.

This is not normally a book style I would read, but it caught my eye because it is based in a small town in Wisconsin and I'm from a small town in Wisconsin. So I was so excited to get the ARC and I really enjoy the entire process from start to finish. Maybe it was because it reminded me of home (minus the serial killer).

Anyway, back to this book. This was a good mystery book, with a trace amount of romance (actually I should say trace sexy time, cuz there was definitely a relationship built between our h and H, just on the super sweet and loving side).

Also this was a "clean" book in the sense that there is not one single swear word in it. It was also clean in the aspect that the one "love" scene was not explicit at all (which is normally not my style - I'm a smut junkie).

I started this book yesterday late afternoon and could only get to 55% before I went to bed (knowing there was no way I was finishing so I would not stay up until 4 am and not finish the damn book). I didn't even realize how enthralled I was with this book until I woke up. Why you ask? BECAUSE I DREAMED ABOUT THIS BOOK ALL NIGHT!! Not just a quick dream, I woke up at least 5 times after dreaming about the first half, trying to figure out who the damn killer was. To top it off, I thought I knew who the killer was..... GUYS!!!

I WAS WRONG!!!

Now part of that could be the constant interruptions from my damn kids. But I didn't catch the few teasers in there, until it was revealed. That never happens. I always figure it out, well unless they throw in some damn random person who wasn't even in the f'ing book.

In all this was a solid mystery read, with good hero and heroine. There was good chemistry and build between then. The writing was solid and there weren't any real gaps. If you are looking for something light in the sexy time and cussing, or just a good mystery book to give you something to figure out I would definitely recommend this book.

Rating- 4 Stars
Overall- Good Read

Following the death of his father, Kir goes home to his small hometown (Pike, Wisconsin).
While there, Kir receives a letter addressed to his father but delivered to him by a family friend. In the letter, he finds out that his father had an enemy - one who likes to kill.
Was his father’s death accidental, or was he murdered?

Page turning thriller! This book was an unexpected hit for me; well written suspense with a romance that complements the action and movement of the story. Well executed and engaging. I recommend this novel. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review.

I love these thrillers with love stories woven in to them. When Kir comes back to bury his father he has no idea what's in store for him or that he might just fall for the local vet.

But when a women is killed and the scene is set to the last words in the letters his father was receiving in the mail he knows that he has to finish what was started with his father.

Read this to find out who has been sending the letters and why. You'll guess everyone until each is killed and you move on to the next suspect.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Living near Wisconsin added a whole new terrifying element to this one! Was pretty happy with the reading experience. I did find it page turning and it kept me pretty engaged, there was just something missing that I couldn't quite put a finger on.

I really enjoyed this book it is the first I have read by this author, but will definitely be checking out her others. Don’t Look was very well written with just enough twists and turns to keep me guessing till the end. Thanks Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Pretty good mystery, lots of twists and turns, and side stories to keep you guessing. Interesting characters too. I would of given it 5 stars, but Lynne, and Kir's romance was too perfect.

Well-written and fast-paced, this novel will keep you reading until the thrilling conclusion. I enjoyed seeing the romance blossom between Lynne at Kir as well as having the story unfold from both of their perspectives.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another winner by Alexandra Ivy. I have always enjoyed her books and this is another one that does not disappoint! Just the right amount of romance and suspense. The characters were relatable and real. Would definitely recommend this to friends and fans of romantic suspense. Interested to how this series continues.

Thank you #netgalley and #kensingtonbooks #zebra for this eARC.

I really enjoyed this mystery. There were enough red herrings to keep me guessing, but not so many that it felt pointless to attempt to solve the puzzle myself. The characters are generally well drawn and likeable, although it is a bit strange that so many people put up with Kir’s attitude and answer his questions when they have little or no reason to do so. There is one apparent plot hole, Lynne’s truck gets taken out of action quite early on, and yet it mysteriously comes back into play in a rather important way close to the end. Apart from this minor annoyance the story moves quickly and smoothly. I looked forward to picking up the book every time that I came back to it.

This is the beginning of a new romantic suspense series. I really enjoyed the book. The characters were brought to life well by the author and the setting was interesting. I was pretty sure I knew who the killer was but that didn't stop me from enjoying all the twists and turns in this book.

Start of a new series.
Suspenseful and thrilling story. Keeps you guessing.
Kept reading faster and faster so I could see who it was.
Kir and Lynn had good chemistry together.
Would love to see more on the sheriff

This book is full of twists and turns and has a lot of action throughout the story. This author does a great job of making the characters come to life and making them so likable. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be recommending it to my customers and friends

Women are being murdered in a small town in Wisconsin. They are found naked with red material around their neck. Kir, a business man, is the former sheriff’s son and comes back after his father falls down the stairs and dies. Years ago, the sheriff was shot in the head and had to retire from law enforcement and became an alcoholic. He said he was receiving letters from a killer but no one believed him. Kir is given a letter, after the funeral, with initials on it. He believes it’s a list of women to be killed and one is the local vet, Lynne. Lynne took over her father’s practice after he broke his hip and retired. She didn’t really know Kir, so when he tells her about the letter, she thinks it’s just grief. Until the sheriff comes to her when investigating a murder. As the death toll rises, Kir is afraid she’s next and they begin investigating on their own. The killer is getting close and Kir will do anything to keep Lynne safe.
Action and suspense that’ll leave you biting your nails. Two people who realize you can’t change the past, only move forward. So good. You’ll be guessing until the end.

Would I recommend it? Yes, in fact I've already started telling people about.

Would I read more of this series: Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

First off I want to think Zebra- Kensington Books as well the author herself and NetGalley for letting me read and review it because with out them I would have never found a new series that I'm excited about like I am about this one. And I have to say that it was the cover that caught my eye when I saw it on NetGalley and then as soon as I saw who the author was I know right then and there that I was going to read it right right way and I'm so glad that I did because even though this is the second book I've read by the lovely Alexandra Ivy, the first one was You Will Suffer ( The Agency Series #3) I knew right then and there after reading just a few pages that I had found a go to author that would make me get lost in her books and I was so right about that which is what I needed right now. Just like You will Suffer i got lost in the story as well as felling for the characters themselves, other thing I loved was how you get to see though the eyes of the unknown killer himself or herself.As for the characters you can't help feeling for Lynne because she's smart, independent, witty and doesn't back away from none and of course her love for animals won me over as well, as for Kir has a possession of a great personality and comes off as someone who known's he made mistakes in the past and isn't afraid to admit it, as for the story its self its fast past and will have you hooked from the very every first page.
