Summary

She glances around as she locks the café door behind her。 It’s growing dark and the quiet street is deserted。 Tired, she starts on her short walk home。 She thinks she’ll be safe inside within minutes, but the person watching from the shadows has other plans for her tonight…

When the body of a young woman is discovered in a local playground in the center of Black Rock Falls, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane rush to the scene。 Jenna recoils with horror when she sees the body, dressed in a thin nightgown, her face covered by a terrifying Halloween mask。

When the body is examined, red puncture marks are uncovered along her spine。 Jenna makes a connection with a cold case where the killer tortured young women for years and was never caught。 If the murderer has started killing again, Jenna knows it’s only a matter of time before another body is found。

Days later, when another victim lays slumped against the fence of a local landfill site, with the same puncture wounds and macabre mask, Jenna’s fears are confirmed。 A serial killer is back in town and they’re picking off women one by one。

Then, as a third body is found, Jenna finally gets the breakthrough she needs。 Dirt found underneath the women’s fingernails leads to a dangerous cave network in the mountains outside town。 And once Jenna ventures into the dark, winding underground tunnels, will she find the person responsible for the deaths and take them down, or has she just walked into the killer’s trap?

Fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will be gripped by this crime thriller from USA Today bestselling author D。K。 Hood。 Prepare to stay up all night!

**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

Kiss Her Goodnight by D。K。 Hood is the 15th in the Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane series, and takes place in Black Rock Falls, Montana。First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Bookouture and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。Series Background:   (Warning – May contain spoilers from previous books)Former DEA, Jenna Alton is now the Sheriff in Black Rock Falls, Montana。  Her past is a secret。  Dep Kiss Her Goodnight by D。K。 Hood is the 15th in the Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy Dave Kane series, and takes place in Black Rock Falls, Montana。First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Bookouture and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。Series Background:   (Warning – May contain spoilers from previous books)Former DEA, Jenna Alton is now the Sheriff in Black Rock Falls, Montana。  Her past is a secret。  Deputy David Kane's background is also a secret。  He was a Special Forces sharpshooter, and a bodyguard to the President。  They are now engaged。  Then there is Forensic Scientist Shane Wolfe, who is not only a Medical Examiner with amazing computer skills, he used to be Kane’s handler。 So, with a few other deputies, Jenna has a good team to handle crime in the small Black Rock Falls town, which seems to have more murders than a small town should。My Synopsis:   (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions)The first body is discovered in the playground, dressed in only a thin nightgown, and a mask glued to her face。  She had been beaten, given a number, and skewers stuck into her spine。   No DNA is found on the victim。A second body turns up with identical markings, except for the number on her back。None of these women have been reported missing, so identifying them is difficult。  There seems to be a serial killer on the loose, keeping women captive somewhere, torturing them, and then leaving the bodies for Jenna to find。The third body, however, finally provides a clue。  Is the killer getting sloppy?  Or was it put there for Jenna to find。Then Susie from the diner goes missing, and Jenna is sure this is directed toward her。  Once more, Jenna will traverse the winding underground caves in the mountains just outside of town。In between all these dead women, Jenna and Dave finally get married and have a rather short, horrifying honeymoon。My Opinions:  Well, at least this time there was a reason to bring in the FBI。  Jo and Carter may as well move to Black Rock Falls, because Jenna and her team can't do anything without them。  Yes, this is an on-going struggle for me and these books。。。。and  I still have problems with Carter。Now, Poppy is back in the picture, and I didn't like her the first time around。  So another character I'm not liking。。。。  Let's not forget Emily。I saw more strength in Jenna's authority over Dave and the team in this book。  That's two in a row, and a needed improvement。  I'm not holding my breath for a third。For me, the saving grace for these books is the plot。  The plots always satisfy my need for a good mystery。  This was again the case。  It was really interesting (if a little dark)。 Basically it was about psychopaths who quite easily lead double lives。  A family on one hand, and brutality and killing on the other。Overall, even with my lack of enthusiasm for the characters, these books still have my attention。  Every plot is fresh and compelling。  I will continue to read them。For a more complete review of this book and others (including the reason I chose to read/review this book, as well as author information and contact details), please visit my blog: http://katlovesbooksblog。wordpress。com/t 。。。more

Her husband, and deputy, David Kane is a former Special Forces marksman with exceptional profiling skills。 In this instalment, homewrecker Poppy Anderson plays a pivotal role which was unexpected。 With Dave and Jenna's wedding and a hurricane to contend this was fast-paced, well balanced, electrifying and gritty just as I knew it would be。 It had me glued to the pages and I didn't want to put it down as I was desperate to know the outcome of the story。 The tension snowballed as D。K。 Hood lobbed in some captivating misdirection。 The writing flowed effortlessly in a story rich in drama。 I will be seeking out the first five instalments of this masterful series。 A brilliant, compelling, pulse-pounding and very highly recommended crime-thriller。I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Bookouture via NetGalley。 This review is my own unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Oh wow, back in Black Rock Falls and it’s, once again, amazing to follow this great duo Jenna and Dave。 Of course they could not discover the baddies on their own and they have their wonderful team to depend up on。It has been quiet in the small town, but it never stays that way for a very long time。 It’s a paradise for killers or I might even say serial killers and nobody is happy when a victim turns up, but this culprit has a very bad timing。 Well, bad in Jenna’s schedule anyway。 She had someth Oh wow, back in Black Rock Falls and it’s, once again, amazing to follow this great duo Jenna and Dave。 Of course they could not discover the baddies on their own and they have their wonderful team to depend up on。It has been quiet in the small town, but it never stays that way for a very long time。 It’s a paradise for killers or I might even say serial killers and nobody is happy when a victim turns up, but this culprit has a very bad timing。 Well, bad in Jenna’s schedule anyway。 She had something totally different planned。 Will she go through with it and leave the case in her team’s capable hands or will she decide otherwise?The killer however does not seem to show any signs of stopping what he is doing and he leaves the police force with more questions than answers。 Even with the help of FBI agents Carter and Jo they still struggle to come any closer until suddenly there is a breakthrough and it’s all hands on deck。Time is crucial, as always…Jenna is not easily scared and with Dave having her back, she is capable of doing things she might not have done without him。 She counts and relies on him, but she does not want to him to be overprotective。 She wants to show him she can be her own person too。This time it’s not only a vicious killer who is life threatening…Another fantastic story with bone chilling bits, but with room for love and happiness too。 5 starsThank you 。。。more

Another brilliant book in one of my favourite series。 This book follows on from the previous story where Poppy was kidnapped。 We find out that she’s being held in some caves along with other women but they are punished if they talk to each other。 Jenna and Kane are about to get married but their honeymoon does not go to plan。 There is a killer leaving bodies in and around Black Rock Falls and soon it’s clear that Poppy is linked to this, despite all signs indicating she is in Colorado。 This is a Another brilliant book in one of my favourite series。 This book follows on from the previous story where Poppy was kidnapped。 We find out that she’s being held in some caves along with other women but they are punished if they talk to each other。 Jenna and Kane are about to get married but their honeymoon does not go to plan。 There is a killer leaving bodies in and around Black Rock Falls and soon it’s clear that Poppy is linked to this, despite all signs indicating she is in Colorado。 This is a gripping crime thriller that will definitely have you on the edge of your seat。 It’s great to catch up with Jenna and Kane as always。 Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book。 。。。more

It wouldn't be Black Rock Falls without a serial killer。 This one is sadistic and hiding in plain sight。 Following a disastrous honeymoon, Jenna and her team have their hands full with a killer that leaves no evidence。 They finally catch a break when they find some evidence and DNA from very surprising source。Aside from the lead up to the wedding, this was a suspenseful read。 While I was not surprised by the return of a despicable character, I was disappointed with their final outcome。 It wouldn't be Black Rock Falls without a serial killer。 This one is sadistic and hiding in plain sight。 Following a disastrous honeymoon, Jenna and her team have their hands full with a killer that leaves no evidence。 They finally catch a break when they find some evidence and DNA from very surprising source。Aside from the lead up to the wedding, this was a suspenseful read。 While I was not surprised by the return of a despicable character, I was disappointed with their final outcome。 。。。more

Even though the premise is very disturbing, you will be drawn in and will literally be cheering for the victims and the police。 Once you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down until the haunting conclusion。 I am fully addicted to this series。 You can read this book as a standalone, but once you read one of them。。。 you will have to read them all! One of the main things I enjoy about her books is that they are clean。 The mystery is great and the plot is intense, but the author does not feel the need to "dirty" up the book with foul language which makes this a much more enjoyable read! 。。。more

So, when a body is discovered in a local playground she is disappointed but resigned to undertaking another major investigation。 Jenna and her Chief Deputy Dave Kane are travelling out of state when the first victim is joined by another but neither give any clue to either their identity or that of their killer。 With time against them the offer of help from the FBI Field Office in Snakeskin Gully is gratefully accepted but, as they finally begin to move forward, a local woman disappears; is it coincidence or have things just got much more urgent? Amazingly this is the fifteenth in this series and D K Hood still produces storylines of an incredibly high standard。 The main protagonists have gradually increased in number and although Jenna Alton and Dave Kane are the main characters everyone else is as important and all are here once again。 In many ways this is a pivotal personal episode in this saga but the crime is still central and there are definite hints to problems on the horizon which is always good! I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own。 This is yet another great read in a wonderfully written crime series。 。。。more

Hmmm。 I will say I knew who it was, but D。K。 Hood did so good with the herrings I was starting to question myself。 The real win in this series, the reason it can go on for ever is they are like family to us, extended family。 We want to see each one grow, whats happening in their lives。 I have so many questions, so this could go on a log time - hopefully。 Thank you for the arc NetGalley, Bookouture - I am addicted to this series and freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions。 。。。more

The novel is entertaining and the forward momentum they provide adds to that entertainment。Jenna and Dave get married at the start of this novel, so that puts the will they, won’t they scenario to bed, but the author has inserted a small bomb into this new reality that may offer fireworks in future novels。 The first night of their honeymoon is a cracker, offering tension, excitement and danger。 I loved it as so typical of Jenna and Dave。 It makes up for the relatively low key denouement。Kiss Her Goodnight is a good read that I can recommend。 。。。more

Back to Black Rock Falls, the home of serial killers! Book 15 in the Kane and Alton tale finds them married at last。 We have the usual fast paced, well plotted and filled with suspense from DK Hood。 The author never fails to deliver, with excellent character development and an interesting plot。 Another 5* read which has everything you need in a detective thriller。 Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC。

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the copy of Kiss Her Goodnight。 This is the second book I have read in this series。 I was going to start the series from the beginning, and never did, but I should have。 I think this is one series that really builds on previous books, so I was a little lost about who was who and the relationships。 The story was good, but brutal and harrowing。 I was bored at the start with the wedding and the honeymoon, but probably if I had read the whole series I would hav Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the copy of Kiss Her Goodnight。 This is the second book I have read in this series。 I was going to start the series from the beginning, and never did, but I should have。 I think this is one series that really builds on previous books, so I was a little lost about who was who and the relationships。 The story was good, but brutal and harrowing。 I was bored at the start with the wedding and the honeymoon, but probably if I had read the whole series I would have enjoyed it more。 。。。more

Very quickly the body count rises while the team scrambles to figure out who done it。 Will Jenna and Dave make it to the alter? Will they find the killer before he can kill one of their own。 A face from the previous book shows up again and I can’t say that they were any more likeable in this book。 Such a great quick easy read。 As always looking forward to book 16。 You don’t need to read the previous books in this series to enjoy this one but I do highly recolmmend as the characters backstories will make much more sense … and they are all great books! 。。。more

This is Book #15 in this incredible series。 Another roller coaster of a ride。 What is more terrifying than being in serial killer central (Black Rock Falls)? Maybe being caught in a hurricane! This killer carves numbers in his victim’s bodies and displays them around town。 Some very tense moments in this book。 Thanks to NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book。 Bring on #16。

282 pages3 starsPoppy Anderson is a very unlikable person - at least to me。 When I discovered that she played a major part in this story, I was very disappointed。 You could say that it soured me on the book。The wedding talk was also a distraction。 While I’m happy for Dave and Jenna, it got old very quickly。 We can’t, we will, yadda, yadda。 The basic story, aside from Poppy, was good。 This novel is well written and plotted in Ms。 Hood’s usual style。 She certainly has a talent for penning stories 282 pages3 starsPoppy Anderson is a very unlikable person - at least to me。 When I discovered that she played a major part in this story, I was very disappointed。 You could say that it soured me on the book。The wedding talk was also a distraction。 While I’m happy for Dave and Jenna, it got old very quickly。 We can’t, we will, yadda, yadda。 The basic story, aside from Poppy, was good。 This novel is well written and plotted in Ms。 Hood’s usual style。 She certainly has a talent for penning stories about serial killers。 She comes up with some pretty devious plots。 I will continue to read her books。 The killer was just plain sick。 His “reason” for killing was pretty wacko。 I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for forwarding to me a copy of this book for me to read, enjoy and review。 The opinions expressed here are solely my own。 。。。more

Thanks once again to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review "Kiss Her Goodnight" by D。K。 Hood。Here we are on Book #15, and the roller coaster ride just keeps getting wilder and wilder。 As one character notes, "welcome to psychopath central", Black Rock Falls where the hits just keep on coming。This one starts off with a body and a wedding, and things get hairy right from the start。 The body is an unidentified female who's been recently killed in the most brutal of manners Thanks once again to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review "Kiss Her Goodnight" by D。K。 Hood。Here we are on Book #15, and the roller coaster ride just keeps getting wilder and wilder。 As one character notes, "welcome to psychopath central", Black Rock Falls where the hits just keep on coming。This one starts off with a body and a wedding, and things get hairy right from the start。 The body is an unidentified female who's been recently killed in the most brutal of manners - and right off the bat (pardon the pun) Jenna and Dave (along with Jo Wells, Ty Carter, Shane Wolfe and company) know they might be heading into another killing season。 But first, good things happen - and then they go horribly wrong。Ms。 Hood has managed with this one to introduce us to a new psychopathy - a killer who might just be happily married with children, and manages to keep his family in the dark while continuing his spree。The pace of this one is just as hectic as usual, and along the way we are further educated in the ways of serial murderers, thanks to the incredibly gifted Jo Wells, whose profiles are always on the mark。The question of the day is: will we ever find out what happened to Poppy?The book never lets up in intensity, as the bodies begin to pile up - but suddenly something changes completely, allowing the team to finally get a handle on the perpetrator - and the hunt begins。Highly recommended, but strongly suggest you read the previous books in the series to truly understand what's happening in Black Rock Falls。 。。。more
