Kill For Me
1 Star

Series Note: This is book #9 in the overall series, but book #3 in the Daniel Vartanian trilogy.

I'm definitely in the minority amongst my GR friends, the majority of whom enjoyed the book immensely, so perhaps this review should be taken with a grain of salt.

For me, the Daniel Vartanian books are not up to Rose's standards. The first installment is well worth the read with a gripping suspense story and an engaging couple. However, the 2nd and 3rd are, to put it simply, awful. They are a jumbled mess of mixed perspectives and non-linear sequencing. The plot of #3 is a rehash of #2 with a complete lack of originality, and the romance is mediocre and lackluster. It appears that at least for this sub-trilogy, Rose decided to focus more on the action and less on the romance.

While a huge proponent of reading in order, I can honestly say that Scream for Me and Kill for Me are a waste of valuable reading time. That said, newbies to Rose's books and fans alike should decide for themselves if these are worth the effort. Moving on to #10 now as I've heard that it returns to Rose's tried and true style. ( )

This book is exceptionally good romantic suspense. The story is quite detailed and very well written. Rose keeps the reader guessing very convincingly and thoroughly builds suspense throughout the series. ( )

Susannah Vartanian was one of the girls raped thirteen years ago by a group of young rich boys, and has yet to be able to live a normal life. With the help of Agent Luke Papadopoulos and the whole PD and FBI Dept's in Dutton, Georgia and a few other states, Susannah may finally get some insight to her past, and find out what her brother Simon had going on in his sick head. Susannah is about to discover that her whole life has been something other than what she has known, she will have to do something she has never done before. Lean on Luke to help her through this, that may prove to be more difficult that either could have ever expected.

Nothing is as it seems in Kill for Me , there are so many dark buried secrets, a huge cast of characters, and a whole lot of danger. Explosive, cunning, and purely magnificent. ( )
