Every Deadly Kiss by Steven JamesMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Steven James has a way of introducing the most creepiest and evil serial killers/culprits in a way that I actually sometimes can say, intrigues me vs disgust. Enough detail to show the creepy but not enough to have nightmares.
The plot had me captivating and Steven James is one author who keeps surprising me when he reveals his hand. I had no idea who was the partner and when the partner was introduced, with flashbacks, I was totally left blindsided and want to see what happens next NOW!
Steve James is one of the few authors who can have a few different plots which he brilliantly brings together at the end.
I loved seeing more of Pat and Christie and again, really loving Tessa - suggest a unique, different but real teenager. And loving Ralph!
“I have a feeling that if I Googled ‘excessive force’ your picture would come up.”
Blake is a great nemesis for Pat and I’m looking forward to see what happens next. He almost reminds me of Reddington in the Blacklist (for those who watches that series), also with his trusted companion. A baddie with a moral code.
If you love thrillers, you should give the Patrick Bowers series a try!
No, there’s nothing certain about love. It centers you by unbalancing you.
