Cold Blooded Liar: the first gripping thriller in a brand new series from the bestselling author

Product Information

Kit and Sam are both likeable and relatable characters. Kit is focused, dedicated, hardworking, and is a rising star in the homicide department with her high closure rate. Sam is a caring person who volunteers for local charities. He has to balance his professional and personal ethics. He’s also nice, smart, and good at getting people to talk. While both go through transformations during the story, there’s still room for these dynamic characters to continue to grow in future books. The supporting characters have varying depths, but provide support or conflict to enrich the reading experience. Another draining, gritty, but in the end triumphant romantic suspense from Karen Rose. This latest takes the series to San Diego and a grim series of killings by a predator possessing a clever, cold mind. Sam Reeves is her number one suspect, but she wavers because from the beginning her instinct tells her that he is one of the good guys. Unfortunately, there is a tightening circumstantial evidence trail leading right to him. She has to find a break that will put him firmly in the clear or nail him. In the meantime, she’s fighting feelings for him that scare her more than that he’s a suspect. These books will make you laugh, cry, rage and marvel at how the written word can inspire every emotion you have!’ Though this was a tad lighter on the romance than I expected, it did not impact my reading experience. I suspect the author is setting the scene for the next book.

This is an excellent book for people who love to read as the author Karen Rose has done tremendous work. The strategies highlighted in the text by the renowned author has also greatly shaped the emotional, leadership, and career destiny of thousands This really amazed and inspired people and awakens reader’s visualization, appreciation, and realization of reality and the truth about life, spiritually and emotionally and other aspects of life, it passed through users. I really enjoyed following both Kit’s and Sam’s separate investigations and the tension it created between Kit, Sam and Baz because they kept butting heads almost every step of the way of the investigation. There also appears to be an unspoken attraction between Sam and Kit, which also makes things all the more interesting since Sam is still considered a suspect. Like the rest of the Romantic Suspense series, this latest can be started without reading the prior sub-series named after the cities where they take place. Colton Driscoll is a compulsive liar. But there's one thing his psychologist Sam Reeves fears he is telling the truth about: murder. Concerned his patient has committed an awful crime and that the life of another girl could be under threat, Sam calls in an anonymous tip to the San Diego Police Department.

Sam is soon released but goes home with both a newfound distaste for the SDPD and a resolve—not unlike Kit’s—to uncover the truth. Kit and Sam repeatedly butt heads in their separate investigations but are forced to work together to find one of the deadliest serial killers the city has faced in years. Only thanks to client confidentiality Sam can't reveal his client's name. Which immediately makes him Kit's number one suspect.I read along with the audiobook and Hillary Huber did a great job with the narration! I'd expect nothing less. I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Headline Books. If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us I liked a lot of the characters especially Kit & her family and Sam and even though things were questionable I did think he would be innocent it just didn’t seem like something he would do and he did want to help with everything. I did kind of expect the murder of her foster sister in the beginning to come into the main story a bit more but it was a different killer so wouldn’t have made sense. These books will make you laugh, cry, rage and marvel at how the written word can inspire every emotion you have!'
