DNF.
I wasn't sufficiently engaged in the story or characters so that even getting to chapter six was a bit of a slog. I believe this is the second book of a series so maybe that had something to do with it?
But moreso, I kept getting kicked out of the story by the dialogue. In conversation, every character used 'wanna' instead of 'want to' or 'gonna' instead of 'going to.' The book takes place in Albany so I wondered if it was a regional thing? But the main male protagonist used 'Ya' in stead of...more

The best thing about this book is that it's not predictable. Just when you think you've figured out who is doing what, Stacy-Deanne throws you off track and you're left going back to the drawing board to come up with another possible answer.
The story starts strong. Cheyenne is attacked, and her friend Brianna (Bree) comes in to investigate who did it. While on the case, Bree has to deal with a psycho stalker who calls her and makes sexually lewd comments--some of which were downright disgusting,...more

A friend at death's door, a psychotic stalker, a lover with a mysterious and dark past, and a partner who keeps you on the edge, YES, I'm speaking on Detective Brianna Morris in Stacy Deanne`s "Giving Up the Ghost". Bree is a sister on a mission to find the person responsible for the vicious attack on her best friend Cheyenne before the killer strikes again. Along with her partner Detective Steven Kemp, they enter a world of clubbing and chaos. Soon Bree begins to question those around and her f...more
First let me just start off by saying, this is one of the best crime/mystery/romance (yes there is some unrequited love) I have ever read.
The main crux of the story is finding out who attack Cheyenne. But with all the other little stories going on, you're getting whiplash--but in a good way.
There's the psycho. Really sick, scared me senseless.
There's the three way triangle. Simon, Steven and Bree, oh my!
And if you think you figured out who the perpetrator is, think again...and again...and ag...more

I just had the joy of reading *Giving Up the Ghost* by Stacy-Deanne. This storyline had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. Detective Brianna Morris is investigating the attack of her friend Cheyenne Wilson. While on the case, she is being stalked by someone unknown to her. There are many twists and turns in the story that leave you wondering just how it's going to end. Who really was responsible for the attack? Who all is connected to whom? Remember, it's never quite what it see...more
I love any storyline where the main characters are cops and I love a good mystery. Imagine my delight when I was introduced to "Giving up the Ghost" that supplies both! Throw in a steamy interlude or two, along with a creepy stalker, and you've got a great novel. I really like the fact that Detective Breanna Morris may have been a tough-as-nails cop, but she was also human. To write this character as if she just knew everything just because she was a police detective, would have made this charac...more
What a fast-paced journey. I was pulled in from the get go (just what I like). The plot was solid and every time I thought I figured out whodunit, the author threw a curve ball drawing me further into the story. Stacy's writing style is engaging, and so too, are the characters who jumped off the pages. Great rhythm and pace. I'll certainly be following this talented author's writings.
This is exactly the way I like my thrillers. Fast-paced with enough action to hold my interest.
Stay tuned for my review.
