It’s close to Halloween time and you that something sinister is going to happen in Black Rock Falls! The town is known for its crime and serial killers but this fall season there is a “vampire-like killer” claiming victims left and right! Their Haunted Hearts is the 27th book in D.K. Hood’s gripping, thrilling and chilling Detectives Kane and Alton series. D. K. Hood has proven that she is not slowing down and perhaps is only getting started. I loved how she tied her vampire killing baddie in with the Halloween season. Make no mistake, this killer is not Buffy the vampire slayer. This is one sick and deranged individual who is killing innocent women.
Jenna and Kane have their hands full with their now fifteen-month-old son, Jackson, and his older brother, Tauri. They are enjoying family life with their boys when the body of a young woman is found with bite marks on her neck near one of the town’s Halloween attractions. Fans of the series know that both Jenna and Kane will pull out all the stops to catch a killer!
As with the other amazing books in this series, this book was wonderfully written, well thought out, full of tension, twists, dread, mounting danger, and great detective work. I love D.K. Hood’s vivid descriptions and how she has created a sense of found family and community amongst her regular characters. I enjoy the character development and banter between her characters.
Jenna and Kane are both strong characters and I enjoy them both equally. I enjoy how D.K. Hood has written them. I root for them both individually and as a couple. I also love how she balances their work life with their personal life. This makes for very enjoyable reading, and I feel invested in both of their characters.
A BIG plus of this series is that you can jump in at any time. Most of the books in the series work as stand-alone books but one can always go back and begin at the beginning if you like.
Gripping, thrilling, mysterious, and hard to put down! I can’t wait to read what D.K. Hood writes next.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
