Deadly Relations

By: Alexa Grace

Narrated by: Lorelei Avalon

In this crime fiction thriller, a serial killer of young women hides in plain sight in a quiet county in the Midwest. He hides behind a friendly face that inspires trust and a personality that is charming and persuasive - and has a rage to kill he can't control.

Detective Jennifer Brennan, still haunted by her abduction five years before, devotes her life to serving and protecting others. So when three young women go missing in her small county in Indiana and are found murdered on her watch, she vows to find the killer - or die trying.

A personal relationship with her partner, Detective Blake Stone, would be violating the strictest of the department's unspoken rules and career suicide, especially since she is the sheriff's daughter. But the connection Jennifer has with Blake is nothing short of electric. Working with him daily and denying her attraction is hard. But when he moves in to protect her, it becomes unbearable. As they fight temptation, two detectives race against time to find the killer before he strikes again. It is the most important case of their careers. It could be their last.

Great story, narration could be better

I really like Alexa Grace's Deadly series. Jennifer is a strong and determined character which those who read the other books in the series will recognize and Blake is quite likeable. Unlike some suspense stories you know who the culprit is beforehand but instead get a close-up look at his thoughts and motivations. I also like how there is timeline to the series so you get to check in on other characters you remember. I personally think the narration could be better, the shift between male and female voices is subtle and there didn't really seem to be any variation in tone between different characters of the same gender. However, the story made up for it.

Action Packed!

The characters interact so well from one book to the next and each one is action packed and filled with intrigue. Don't miss this series.
