WHEN A HEART STOPS
Spunky and outgoing, nothing much bothers medical examiner Serena Hopkins--except for the thought of falling in love again. But when a serial killer is picking off her former classmates, Serena's life becomes intertwined with her old high school crush, FBI agent Dominic Allen. Is the secret she's keeping putting her next on the killer's hit list? Can she trust Dominic with the truth before it's too late?
Intense, emotional, and fast-paced, "When a Heart Stops" will have readers up late as they race to the finish to find out what happens.
My Review:
Wow, I'm gobsmacked! Eason grabbed me on the first page and I didn't manage to shake loose until the very last and I still have unanswered questions which will undoubtedly be answered in the next book of the Deadly Reunion series. She's a master at building suspense, jumping from one open-ended scene to another, leaving me desperately trying to put the puzzle together without all the pieces.
Bonus! I figured out the killer early on -- and felt right smug until Eason threw a few last-minute twists at me! When a Heart Stops is aptly named -- reading with a defibrillator is highly recommended.

Lol, I don't have a defibrillator! I loved the first book in Lynette's series. Kept me up half the night. This one is on my Christmas list so please throw my name into the hat. :)
ReplyDeleteSandra, though this book is a complete story and can be a standalone read, it does carry over some of the plot and characters from the first and leaves some major series cliffies at the end. Can't wait to see this series through to the finish line.
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just love it when you think you've figured it out and the author throws a major twist at the end. That's the sign of a great write and I love 'em!!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win Eason's book!

Love books that won't let you put them down! And also love it when you think you know who the villian is and it twists to a different person. Sounds like a great book.
