Deadly Justice (New Orleans Connection S...

Deadly Justice by Kathy Ivan is a romantic suspense you won't want to skip.   Ms. Ivan has delivered a well-written book.  The characters are outstanding and lovable.  Samuel is an ex DEA agent, framed by his friend and left for dead.  Andrea is entangled in Samuel's hunt for the man that framed him.  Their story is packed with drama, action, sizzle, suspense and humor.  I like the way Ms Ivan twisted Andrea and Samuel's story together.  I enjoyed reading Deadly Justice and look forward to reading more from Kathy Ivan soon.  Deadly Justice is book 6 in the New Orleans Connection Series but can easily be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

 

This one is a bit of slow build and took me awhile to get into, but I have to say that the more I learned about the characters and their back story, the more my curiosity was piqued about where the story would go. From the beginning, Jill is not a likable character. She's cold and seems to have little regard for others. Of course, it doesn't take long to figure out that we aren't supposed to like her. I was left with a bit of a head scratch about Alex's jumps in logic in his investigation, but it certainly makes for some rising tension. The story is part vigilante/serial killer thriller and part crime drama, and the conclusion kept me turning pages and was certainly a jaw-dropping, I didn't expect that development. I'll be interested to see where it all goes from here.

The Deadly Sun (The Sanction Series Book... The people of Cueva live underground in caves in rooms carved out of the mountain. The people of Cueva live underground in the dark away from the deadly sun because it causes cancer. The children live on one side of the cave while the adults live on the other side.

When they reach eighteen they get to visit Purenet a city that is protected by a dome which allows the people to be outside to enjoy the sun along with the green grass and trees without causing them any problems.

The people of Cueva have choice to make when they reach eighteen; girls have the choice of becoming a Host or a Bazi to earn bitcoins; boys have the option of becoming a Bazi or entering the Sanction Games to earn bitcoins as well. Skylier and her brother Rian want to earn bitcoins so they can buy medicine to cure their mother who is dying of cancer.

I love reading dystopian novels and I have to say that The Deadly Sun has been one of the best that I have read so far and I can’t wait to check out the next book in the series The Rising Tide and then the third book The Sanction Games.

The Deadly Sun grabbed me from the beginning and didn’t let go until I turned the last page. I read it in one setting or should I say I devoured it in one setting. Now that is more like it. I loved the world of Cueva and Purenet.

The Deadly Sun is filled with more twist and turns than a roller coaster. It will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what is just around the next corner. Skylier and Dax are two of the strongest characters I think I have seen in a long, long time. Oh and I just loved Callie she was just amazing and so sweet.

I would recommend The Deadly Sun to anyone who loves reading a great and fantastic dystopian novel. It is out of this world amazing.

I liked this story and I liked the plot and pace. This was fast moving and had enjoyable surprises. I was surprised from the end but I did enjoy it. This book did keep my interest I liked the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.

My Reviews:

I'm a sucker for reunion romances. I say it all the time but it works for Covert Affair. Although I think I was expecting something different maybe it did pull through in the end for me. I liked the way that Amelia and Nathan played off of one another because their personalities meshed in just the right way that really made you believe that there was more than hollow past, there was passion and emotion that continued long into the time that they spent away from one another and was reignited when they were reunited. I really enjoyed a Covert Affair from beginning to end and would recommend it to anyone.
