Naked In Death - J.D Robb
Naked in Death - J.D. Robb
I read book #43, so I figured I should read the first.
So glad I did! Eve Dallas is a badass character! I knew that this book would be a thrill but had no idea how much I would like it. 
The author has a great way of telling the story. It flows easily, reads easily, and though you think you have it all figured out it still surprises you. What more do you want in a mystery/thriller? The pace of the plot is intense. I can see why this series is such a hit having only read the two books. I can't wait to read more!
I want to add that this book takes place in the future. Like, I had no idea when I read the other book when it was set to be honest. I'm pleasantly surprised, since it feels so now.
I think the romance between Eve and Roarke is something special too! I know this is a mystery book but man it's a great love story too! I was rooting for this dude. Just saying.
If you haven't read any of this series, what the heck are you waiting for?!

Shame
Robb Starr - J.A. Howard

Mia had a crazy crush on Rob, just like everyone at her school.  Their mom's are best friends so they basically grew up together.  When tragedy strikes and he notices her, she feels like it is the time to make the most of it.

 

Rob, to his credit spends a lot of time with her.  She has no idea why and worries about it a lot.  Mia does not feel worthy of him - but still he comes back around again and again.  Is it even possible to wish a future into happening?

 

This story was quite wordy.  I felt the pace went fast and I felt lost several times while reading.  This was more of a coming of age book to me than young adult.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

 

***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

KINDRED IN DEATH by J. D. Robb
Kindred in Death - J.D. Robb

The teen-age daughter of a Captain in the Illegals Division is found murdered in her bed. The Captain asks for Eve Dallas to find the killer.

 

This was a good one. Eve has a psychological profile of the murderer but no pictures. He has managed to bypass a Roarke system, which Roarke is not pleased about. Together along with Eve's team at Cop Central they find the glitch in his plans. I like that Eve talks it out and that Roarke and others on the team can fill in where she has not gone in her thoughts which put her on the path to finding the murderer. She knows the why. She just has to find the who. I lost sleep staying up to read this book I was so intrigued by the path Eve took to find her murderer.

 

I look forward to the next one.

SALVATION IN DEATH by J. D. Robb
Salvation in Death - J.D. Robb
A priest dies while officiating a funeral mass.  Eve is called in when it looks like he was poisoned.  Who would want to kill a priest?  Eve has to look into the priest's past to find out why the murder happened.
 
Eve is more introspective in this one so there is not as much action as usual.  She keeps running into parallels with her own past and needs reassurance that she did not enjoy the killings she had to do in the line of safety.  Roarke and Eve are softer in their relationship.  Eve still harps at Roarke but is now more accepting of his ministrations towards her.  Both know what the other needs.  I love these two.
