![]() ![]() ![]() You feel Caleb’s joy when he’s with Kat, and his pain when things go wrong. The connections between the characters are brilliantly created. She weaves idle conversations into the beginning of the story that you don’t realise the importance of until much later. Emma Viskic is one of the best crime writers I have read, seamlessly blending story, action and heart into one novel. While it is the third book in the Caleb Zelic series, it reads very easily as a standalone, and is just an incredible story. This mission won’t just test their friendship, it will put everything they have at risk, including their own lives. But when Frankie’s sister is almost murdered, and her niece kidnapped, Caleb has to put aside his misgivings and work with Frankie to try and save her niece before any harm comes to her. Frankie’s previous betrayal makes her incredibly hard to trust. A series of murders throw Caleb back into touch with Frankie – his double-crossing ex work partner. Everything is looking on the up for Caleb and his Good Decisions.īut Caleb can’t escape his past.

![]() ![]() With malice in their hearts and vengeance in their veins, they will seek out the ones who hurt and destroyed them. ![]() As Heathan pulls Ellis out of her mental prison, reviving the essence of who she once was, down the rabbit hole they will go. Time has made Ellis a shell of her former self, a little girl lost in the vastness of her pain. Time has made Heathan’s soul darker, polluted with hatred and the thirst for blood. Back to seek revenge on those who wronged them. Back from a place from which he thought there was no return. Eleven years later, Heathan is back for his girl. Until they were ripped apart by the sick cruelty of others, separated for years, both locked in a perpetual hell. The pair forged an unlikely friendship, unique and strange. Heathan was dark and brooding, and obsessed with watching things die. Ellis was loud and beautiful – all blond hair, bright laughs and smiles. ![]() When Ellis Earnshaw and Heathan James met as children, they couldn’t have been more different. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lillie is all kinds of adorable and acts age appropriate (if a bit precocious). (And the fact that he’s willing to get up and sing Kenny Rogers karaoke in an effort to impress Ruby is just a bonus.) He’s alpha, but he’s in no way an alphahole, and y’all know I abhor alphaholes. Remi is a dirty-talking (in bed, anyway), jealous kind of guy, but he’s also a great dad and never treats Ruby with anything but respect. To me, the ability to create relatable heroines is on of the things that separates the great authors from the crappy ones in Romancelandia. Everything about her character made sense to me, and that made her relatable. And while she knows exactly who she is as a person and is comfortable in her own skin, she’s still trying to find herself professionally, so I didn’t find it at all unbelievable that she’d take Remi (the hero) up on his offer to act as a live-in nanny to his little girl, Lillie. Ruby is smart, sassy, and proud of her half-Korean heritage, even though some of the small-minded people in her town try their best to make her ashamed of it. ![]() |
