Here's my 4.12 rounded to 4 stars review of Dark Angel by John Sandford:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

John Sanford brings investigation, suspense, and plenty of action to the second book in the Letty Davenport series. The story is part undercover investigation and part action thriller. Sandford’s a superb storyteller who kept me on the edge of my seat as the undercover operation and action unfolded. The final action scenes are riveting and hauntingly memorable.

Here's my 3.84 rounded to 4 star review of On the Line by Fern Michaels:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The author mixes suspense, mystery, family, friendship, and romance into a heartfelt novel that pulled me in and kept me hooked from beginning to end.

[Woman Reading]

If you're a fan of Leigh Bardugo, then go ahead and pick up Hell Bent #2 in the Alex Stern eventually-to-be trilogy.

It's been a while since I had read a novel that completely gripped me from the beginning. It only took 7 pages for Hell Bent to sink its claws into me.

I've got to look into the Grishaverse now.

Here's my 3.48 rounded to 3 stars review of How I'll Kill You by Ren DeStefano:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Overall, this was suspenseful, but disconcerting for m, e with memorable characters that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. However, there were times when the pacing felt uneven and the ending was somewhat predictable.

Here's my 4.05 rounded to 4 stars review of Lone Women by Victor LaValle:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The author has managed to combine horror, mystery, suspense, historical fiction, and the supernatural in a western set in 1914-1915. Overall, this was a compelling, shocking, unique, and dark story that also had some uplifting moments. I always expect to learn something new from a historical fiction novel, and this one delivered. The writing is vivid and atmospheric.

The author has crafted a complex novel of crime and sleuthing with plenty of suspense in his latest standalone novel. Overall, this compelling story grabbed my attention with likeable characters, a harrowing escape, and multiple mysteries.

[PattyMacDotComma]

The Girl in the Ice, by Robert Bryndza, is the first book in his popular Detective Erika Foster series. It's hard to believe it was the author's debut novel. Great read, with six more to follow.
