Fallen Angel is the thirteenth book in the police procedural series featuring Detectives David Kane and Jenna Alton。 I picked up this series with Whisper in the Night （book 6） and I also thoroughly enjoyed books seven through to twelve。Set in Black Rock Falls， Montana， Sheriff Jenna Alton makes a very likeable detective。 Jenna has a good team to handle crime in the small town， which has certainly seen more than its fair share of murders！ Her deputy， David Kane is a former Special Forces marksman Fallen Angel is the thirteenth book in the police procedural series featuring Detectives David Kane and Jenna Alton。 I picked up this series with Whisper in the Night （book 6） and I also thoroughly enjoyed books seven through to twelve。Set in Black Rock Falls， Montana， Sheriff Jenna Alton makes a very likeable detective。 Jenna has a good team to handle crime in the small town， which has certainly seen more than its fair share of murders！ Her deputy， David Kane is a former Special Forces marksman with exceptional profiling skills。In this instalment， Jenna finds a single pearl earring in the frosty grass that gives them their first lead in the case of a young woman who goes missing from her hotel room at a ski resort and is found under the ice in a frozen lake。 As I knew it would be， this novel was a well balanced， electrifying and solid police procedural that had me glued to the pages。 I didn't want to put it down as I was desperate to know the outcome of the story。 This really was a spectacular， chilling and atmospheric crime-thriller that grabbed me hook， line and sinker。 All the time the tension snowballed as D。K。 Hood launched at me some captivating misdirection。 The writing flowed effortlessly and swiftly 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

When a beautiful young woman is reported missing from her hotel room on the outskirts of Black Rock Falls， Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane are devastated to discover her pale， lifeless body trapped beneath a frozen lake nearby。 It’s Jenna who finds the single pearl earring buried in the frosted grass that gives them their first lead。 Then killer strikes again， and another victim is found in one of the hotel’s lakeside cabins。 Next to his bloodied body is a second pearl earring。 Int When a beautiful young woman is reported missing from her hotel room on the outskirts of Black Rock Falls， Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane are devastated to discover her pale， lifeless body trapped beneath a frozen lake nearby。 It’s Jenna who finds the single pearl earring buried in the frosted grass that gives them their first lead。 Then killer strikes again， and another victim is found in one of the hotel’s lakeside cabins。 Next to his bloodied body is a second pearl earring。 Interviewing witnesses， Jenna discovers that both victims were seen arguing with other residents hours before their deaths。 As a blizzard cuts the hotel off from Black Rock Falls， Jenna and her team are trapped with the killer & the attendees of a writers convention & it’s the agents being killed。 Then she receives a terrifying call from a teenage girl who thinks the murderer was in her room as she slept。 This is the thirteenth book in the series & whilst it could be read on its own but the relationship between Jenna & David has grown & changed throughout the series。 Another well written page turner， whilst not my favourite of the series it’s still a very good murder mystery。 The characters have depth & the pace kept me turning the pages。 There are twists & turns & the humour kept it from being dark。 Roll on book fourteenMy honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read 。。。more

Another hair-raising mystery with Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane。 What could be more intriguing than a crime book convention for authors and readers？ How about a crime convention that includes a murder， but not a “who-dun-it” competition murder？ Jenna and David are called to the scene of a missing person at the resort。 When they find the woman， she is trapped beneath the ice in the lake。 A single pearl earring is found near her， but she wasn’t wearing earrings。 Is this a sign from the Another hair-raising mystery with Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane。 What could be more intriguing than a crime book convention for authors and readers？ How about a crime convention that includes a murder， but not a “who-dun-it” competition murder？ Jenna and David are called to the scene of a missing person at the resort。 When they find the woman， she is trapped beneath the ice in the lake。 A single pearl earring is found near her， but she wasn’t wearing earrings。 Is this a sign from the killer？ As their friend， medical examiner Shane Wolfe， arrives he aides them in the investigation knowing that a crime with so many possible suspects will strain the capability of Jenna’s small department。 They also know they are dealing with a twisted killer， one who is able to hide in plain sight。 When another murder occurs， how many people will die before they are able to stop the killer？ A fascinating murder mystery， the place， the event and the killer。 I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review。 （by paytonpuppy） 。。。more

Fallen Angel by D。K。 Hood is the 13th in the Detectives Kane and Alton series。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 Fo Fallen Angel by D。K。 Hood is the 13th in the Detectives Kane and Alton series。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。 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）Jenna and the team have been called to Glacial Heights Ski Resort on the outskirts of town。 There is a crime-book convention going on， and the resort is booked for two weeks with authors， publishers， and readers。 One of the literary agents has been reported missing， and they find her body trapped beneath the frozen lake。The team decides to keep the murder quiet， and soon the crime-book enthusiasts start talking about the missing woman as a game。 They think that it is actually a crime mystery set up by the organizers。 So the guests are not taking this quite as seriously as the police， or perhaps as seriously as they should。 Soon there is another murder。With over 200 potential murderers， narrowing the suspects down is quite the chore。 At least with the roads closed due to blizzard conditions， nobody can leave。 Unfortunately， that also means they have a murderer on the loose。Meanwhile， the relationship between Jenna and Dave has improved， and they are now living together， but this case may prove to be too much。My Opinions: There are so many things I dislike about this series。 The female Sheriff usually playing second fiddle to her male second in command。 The FBI always being called in because they can't handle the job。 （I've been complaining about those two things in most of my reviews of past books， and was happy to see Jenna finally voice those same views in her fight with Kane）。 Moving on。。。。Carter and Wolfe's daughter Emily。。。。。 I don't particularly like either of them although Emily really annoyed me in this one -- she's a little over-bearing and full of herself。As well， sometimes the writing leaves a lot to be desired。 For example， Wolfe calls Julie a magnet for killers， and in the next chapter the killer calls her a magnet as well。 It's just a bit much。So， all these complaints， and yet I am still reading this series。 Why？ Because the plots can't be beat。 This one in particular was great！ Although I had a good idea as to the identity of the killer， the process and techniques the author used to get the reader to the conclusion were very well done。 There were enough red herrings， and side stories to keep me interested。Again， all my grievances seem to fly out the window， because it ended up being another fast and entertaining read。 And。。。。I will continue to read this series。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）， please visit my blog: http://katlovesbooksblog。wordpress。com/ 。。。more

This is exactly the creepy type of book to be reading on a dark and cold night。 I love the setting: a murder mystery conference where actual murder occur。 I do marvel at the creativityHood has for each of the murders that occurred。 It simply made my blood run cold。 I actually figured out the killer early on， but liked how alternating chapters allowed the killer to give insight， I loved the final scene， very sigh worthy。 Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy。

I am a big fan of this series of books with Detectives Kane and Alton。 I loved the setting of this book， the ski resort outside of town， it worked very well for a crime writers festival。 I struggled with this book in the series， perhaps it was a bit rushed out， I don't know but it was not my favourite。 It failed to grip me like the previous ones and I figured out the killer early on。 I would still recommend the series， however， just not this episode。 Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC。 I am a big fan of this series of books with Detectives Kane and Alton。 I loved the setting of this book， the ski resort outside of town， it worked very well for a crime writers festival。 I struggled with this book in the series， perhaps it was a bit rushed out， I don't know but it was not my favourite。 It failed to grip me like the previous ones and I figured out the killer early on。 I would still recommend the series， however， just not this episode。 Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC。 。。。more

I am back in Black Rock Falls for the thirteenth book in the series to feature Kane and Alton。 I have no words this book is fantastic。 Set in a hotel in the mountains we have a writers convention and a killer。 As the body count begins to rise the team needs to catch this very devious killer。 Each MO is different and having a hotel full of suspects is not going to be easy。 I literally had no idea who the killer was until the big reveal。 This series is one of all time favourites and this book is j I am back in Black Rock Falls for the thirteenth book in the series to feature Kane and Alton。 I have no words this book is fantastic。 Set in a hotel in the mountains we have a writers convention and a killer。 As the body count begins to rise the team needs to catch this very devious killer。 Each MO is different and having a hotel full of suspects is not going to be easy。 I literally had no idea who the killer was until the big reveal。 This series is one of all time favourites and this book is just as gripping， heart pounding and thrilling as the first book。 This author has some of the best serial killers and I can't wait to read more of this very addictive series。 Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for giving an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the arc of this book。 I am going to find the other books in this series， as this was my first one。 I would be more invested in the characters had I read the series from the beginning。 I found it hard to keep track of who was who because sometimes first names were used， sometimes last names。 The story was good and I loved how it was set at a book convention。 When the book really got going it went at a breakneck pace， but before that it was pretty slow。 3。5 s Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the arc of this book。 I am going to find the other books in this series， as this was my first one。 I would be more invested in the characters had I read the series from the beginning。 I found it hard to keep track of who was who because sometimes first names were used， sometimes last names。 The story was good and I loved how it was set at a book convention。 When the book really got going it went at a breakneck pace， but before that it was pretty slow。 3。5 stars rounded up to 4， but it would probably have been more if I had read the whole series。 。。。more

The best that can happen is an unexpected twist when you almost had a clue and all of the sudden you don't。 It had me guessing since the beginning。 This is a series I would love to read since book one。 Excellent！ The best that can happen is an unexpected twist when you almost had a clue and all of the sudden you don't。 It had me guessing since the beginning。 This is a series I would love to read since book one。 Excellent！ 。。。more

Another edition to the well established Kane & Alton series that has yet to disappoint， exceptional as always。 A tense engaging exciting read that had me hooked from the first page to the last。 Loved catching up with the gang （they feel like old friends） and their goings on， written in a wonderful setting with an amazing plot that is flawless in it's execution。 Another edition to the well established Kane & Alton series that has yet to disappoint， exceptional as always。 A tense engaging exciting read that had me hooked from the first page to the last。 Loved catching up with the gang （they feel like old friends） and their goings on， written in a wonderful setting with an amazing plot that is flawless in it's execution。 。。。more

My thanks to D。K。 Hood， Bookoutre and Netgalley。 I'll admit that I wasn't near as impressed as others。 This is book 13 of the series。 It actually read as if it was the first。 Which truly boggled the mind。 Kane and Alton acted like teenagers。 The murders weren't near as fascinating as the author wanted us to believe， nor was the "genius" resolution。 It was all incredibly mundane。 Worst of all？ The fact that I figured out the killer， just because of the name。 Also， a lot of heavy breathing and swe My thanks to D。K。 Hood， Bookoutre and Netgalley。 I'll admit that I wasn't near as impressed as others。 This is book 13 of the series。 It actually read as if it was the first。 Which truly boggled the mind。 Kane and Alton acted like teenagers。 The murders weren't near as fascinating as the author wanted us to believe， nor was the "genius" resolution。 It was all incredibly mundane。 Worst of all？ The fact that I figured out the killer， just because of the name。 Also， a lot of heavy breathing and sweating！ I can't recommend this sorry excuse for a book to anyone。 I'm glad that others liked it。 I thought it was awful！ 。。。more
