The book is fast-paced, very detailed, suspenseful and exhausting to read. (a good exhaustion!) There are numerous characters, dead bodies, interconnecting relationships and events. A well-written ‘police procedural’, I couldn’t put it down and have just ordered Book 5 of the series. Of course, the main characters are flawed - Anna Travis and James Langton. Anna has matured and is a top-notch, brilliant detective. Langton is a ticking time bomb - full of regrets, paralyzing pain from previous horrific injuries and a love-hate relationship with the human race. (Anna especially) I was a bit frustrated at the ‘loose ends’ at the end. I was also frustrated by Anna’s interest in Damien. (very self-destructive) DEADLY INTENT is highly recommended. An excellent choice if you’re looking for a suspenseful crime drama, police procedural and an up and coming detective series. no reviews | add a review

Anna is still recovering from her relationship with her former boss, Frank Langton and is trying to move on, but Frank is now in charge of the Murder Squad and she not only has to come face-to-face with him, but as the case gains notoriety, she has to once again work with him.
Anna proves herself to be a valuable member of the team, but some of her efforts are a little too edgy and she tends to take chances and strike out on her own. By the end of the book, she has gotten over any feelings she had for Frank while he in turn is threatening to have her up on report as he blames her for their failure to capture the drug lord. Anna does make some very questionable choices that could prove very destructive to her career so I am interested in continuing on with the series and finding out what happens next. ( )
