Review: Buried Deception

✩✩✩✩✩

In the swamps of East Texas, alligators aren’t the only danger lurking in the shadows. After a young woman is brutally attacked on a popular hiking trail, the evidence points to the notorious Black Cat Stalker. The town of Skull Hollow enlists Dr. Mia Frost to provide a psychological profile and assist in the investigation. When another person goes missing, Mia partners with Easton Crew, former marine and current CEO of a tactical tracking company. Both Mia and Easton are stubborn, strong-willed, and independent, but neither can deny the smoldering attraction between them. As professional lines blur, Easton starts to question Mia’s motives and worries she’s getting too close to the investigation. The mystery begins to unravel, but so does Mia’s mental health as the clues dredge up her own haunted past. It soon becomes evident that things aren’t as they seem … and people aren’t always who they say they are.

Review: Buried Deception is the best book I've read lately, and I would venture to say one of the best romantic suspense books I've ever read. It's great suspense, and off the charts romance, and everything else in between. 

 

And the best yet? Neither Mia nor Easton are your perfect, run-of-the mill main characters. And neither is their romance. They both have a dark, twisted side - and once or twice throughout the story you are even led to believe one of them could be the Black Cat Stalker. 

I read this book in less than two days, I just couldn't put it down - I would have read it in just on sitting if I had nothing else to do in real life...

 

 

 

 

There were one or two plot details I felt could have had a better follow up, but all in all, Buried Deception in still a great book and if you love the genre you definitely shouldn't miss it. 

Buried Deception is book one in the On the Edge series by Amanda McKinney and I just can't wait for book two to be published as well. In the meantime, I feel like I've just found a new favorite author and I'm for sure going to read all her other previous books, so stay tuned.

Happy readings!
