Small Town Murder!!
Icy Pike Wisconsin has a serial killer.
Kir Jansen came home for his father’s funeral. He’s been gone for years.

Eyes aren’t the windows to the soul, funerals are. They reveal precisely how the deceased lived their lives, and how those who remain behind want them to be remembered.
Lynne is the town Vet. She is in danger when women in this small town are being murdered.

There was a vicious monster out there. Kir wasn’t going to sit around twiddling his thumbs while the killer came closer and closer to Lynne.

Action packed and fast paced. This story keeps you guessing until the end. Just when you think you know who the killer is your wrong. A slow burn love story.

He intended to enjoy the sensations that she stirred to glorious life. He hadn’t felt such a potent attraction since ...

The story is set in the small town of Pike where Kir Landon has returned for his father's funeral , after which the Reverend hands him a letter purportedly from his father ...... a list of initials .
When the Town Vet , Dr Lynne Gale , meets her old aquaintance , Kir , sparks fly .......... but they are soon under pressure ......... naked bodies are turning up and the Sherriff seems determined to put the blame on Lynne .
What is the significance of the letters received by his father before his death ? Who is committing the murders and why ?
Kir soon realises that the initials on the list given to him at his father's funeral are the same as the murder vistims ..... with just one set left ...... those that appear to be Lynne's . Can he keep her safe , whilst they race to identify the killer ?
This is an entertaining romantic thriller , although I did find The Sherriff's attitude a little unrealistic .

I was given an arc of the book by NetGalley and the Publisher in exchange for an an honest review .

I really enjoyed this book. The romance was nice and well done which made me like it all the more, as it gets put on the back burner a little bit in some romantic suspenses sometimes. I really liked both main characters and the story kept me guessing. The killer was someone I'd considered and then discarded, so not a surprise but not entirely expected either. A comforting read. 4 stars.

Thank you @netgalley , @alexandra.ivy and @kensingtonbooks for accepting my request and providing me with the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was gripping and thrilling. It was good mystery and this was a "clean" book. No cuss words were used. The language was lucid and charming. Although, I'm not a fan of mixing romance with mystery, this book tried to balance both.

"Eyes aren't the windows to the soul, funerals are."

The story is set in a small town called Pike. Kir Jansen returns town for his father's funeral. He meets his old acquaintance, the town vet -Dr. Lynne Gale. As soon as they meet, sparks fly and they keep swooning for each other. Kir's father was the town Sheriff but he got shot and couldn't return to office. He subsequently ended up an alcoholic.

Suddenly, there is a series of murders in town. The bodies are found naked in the snow with the throat sliced and red ribbon tied around them. When Kir sees this, he realises that all the frantic calls he got from his father was actually the truth.

His father told everyone that he kept getting letters from a serial killer and no one believed him. They all thought he is raving old man. Kir is left with a letter from his father with initials. All matching the list of victims. The end of this list is- DLG, the woman of his dreams. Together they try to find the killer and they get entangled in a mess.

The ending was good. It was not predictable. I just found the romance a bit tedious and repetitive. A big thumbs up for creating the tension and mystery. I'd totally recommend this book to all mystery lovers.

I picked up this book because I'm a romantic suspense fan and the novel was set in a small town in WI. Since I grew up in a super small town in WI I am perhaps a little judgemental of the setting. I think the author did a fine job with the setting and the mystery but the "romance" was sorely lacking. Perhaps because I came to romantic suspense through greats like Karen Rose, Lisa Jackson, and Linda Howard I'm expecting more heat and passion. Instead this book served up an incongruous mix of a deadly serial killer and super sweet romance that belonged in a Hallmark movie. This is only getting an extra star for being set in WI. Pick up the latest Karen Rose if you want to see how tension can be built in both a mystery and a romantic arc at the same time.

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!

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This is the first book i have read by Alenandra Ivy. It was very good. We follow kit who comes home to pike Wisconsin. While there he is aware of several women who were murdered and wonders who could it be.

Thank You Net-galley, Publisher And Author for this gifted eBook.

Review

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.

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.

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.
