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.

Gripping, shocking, thrilling, and hard to put down! The Liar I Married: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist is a stand-alone book by D.K. Hood. If you have read one of my D.K. Hood’s fabulous series, then you know here wonderful writing, well thought out plots, and thrilling mysteries. In The Liar I Married: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist she tells the story of a woman who was in a horrific accident comes out of a coma and no one will tell her what happened or where her children are.

Jessie wakes up to see a nurse standing over her bed. The nurse informs her that she has been in a car accident and is recuperating under her care. Initially Jessie has a very limited memory as to what led up to the accident and where she was going. She also wonders where her husband and children are currently. As the book progresses, readers are given snippets of Jessies life leading up to the accident. Readers learn of Jessie’s life with her husband who is seldom home and appears to be spending all his time with his co-worker, Rebecca. Readers also get to see Jessie and her road to recovery and her interactions with her husband and those who come to visit her.

D.K. Hood is a master at having readers wonder who is being honest, who is reliable and who is dishonest. I wrestled with you was the liar in this book. So many questions swirled through my head about the accident and about Jessie’s experiences both before the accident and while she was recovering. Just when she feels she has a handle on things, Jessie finds a note that tells her to not trust anyone.

I enjoyed the mounting tension, and the undercurrent of unease Jessie feels as she tries to piece together what happened to her, what she is currently experiencing, and the doubts swirling around in her mind. I felt for Jessie and her struggles to understand her current predicament and wrestle with her reality.

I enjoyed the two timelines and the unraveling of the well thought out plot. There were quite a few characters I wanted to throttle while reading this book. I thought D.K. Hood did a tremendous job of keeping readers and Jessie in the dark and trying to come up with answers.

Wonderfully written, well thought out, gripping and shocking!

*I had both the book and the audiobook. I thought the narrator of the audiobook did a great job of brining this book to life!

Gripping, mysterious, atmospheric, chilling, full of tension, twists, and reveals!!!! Dawn Merriman delivered with The Last Haunting: An unputdownable and utterly gripping paranormal mystery!!!!! I can’t believe that this is the 7th and last book in the Rylan Flynn series! It feels as if I just finished The Spirit Girls! Every book in this series was pure supernatural reading bliss! This book picks up where the events of the previous book, The Burning Soul, left off. Yes, yes, yes!!!!! Sometimes books in a series work well as stand-alone novels but I don’t believe this book would. I highly recommend beginning with the first book in the series and going for there. They are fast and thrilling books that are less than 300 pages. Most being in the low 200-page counts!

Rylan Flynn can see ghosts. She not only sees ghosts, but she helps to solve the mysteries behind how they died and to help them pass over. She has been living with her mother’s ghost for the entire series and she and her mother are both ready to find out how her mother died! Readers of the series have been waiting for this moment and Dawn Merriman gave fans of the series what we have been waiting for!!!!!! Thank you, Dawn! Whew! What a thrilling and chilling ride this series has been. This book also has Rylan dealing with her nemesis, Roland, an evil entity who has bad intentions and evil vibes.

A wonderful ending to an exciting, addictive, and fun series. I have enjoyed watching the character of Rylan evolve and grow. She has learned to trust, be vulnerable, let people in, and grow her relationships with others. I have also enjoyed watching her relationship with Detective Ford grow and transform as well. The mysteries have been wonderful, and I did not see the reveal in this book coming. I loved being shocked and seeing the storyline concerning her mother come full circle.

Such a wonderfully written and well thought out final additional to a wonderful series. It has been a pleasure, and I enjoyed the supernatural ride! All good things must come to an end and Dawn Merriman did her series, and fans of this series, proud. A final farewell was said and as the book closed, I was thankful for the time I spent being haunted by this book!
