Shadow Fall by Laura Griffin Book Review
There are a few things I look for when picking up a new read. One of my favorite themes to pick up has to do with military action, crime and suspense with a bit of romanctic twist included too. It makes for an interesting and exciting book. Author Laura Griffin is well known in this genre and I was looking forward to reading her newest release and share it with you today.
Shadow Fall by Laura Griffin
Series: Tracers (Book 9)
Publisher: Pocket Books (September 22, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-1476779256
In the ninth romantic suspense novel in the New York Times bestselling Tracers series, author Laura Griffin brings back her elite cadre of forensic experts as they hunt down the most brutal serial killer yet.
Special Agent Tara Rushing arrives at a grisly murder scene and quickly discovers she’s got a serial killer on her hands. The killer is meticulous, making sure to wipe up even the smallest traces of evidence…but the Delphi Center experts are on the case.
The local sheriff has a suspect all picked out—ex-Marine and current security expert Liam Wolfe. Despite all her digging, Tara knows very little about Liam when she shows up at his sprawling Texas compound, which serves as headquarters for Wolfe Security, and she’s surprised by her intense physical reaction to him.
As she and Liam grow closer, Tara finds herself depending on his skills and expertise to help her track a killer. But when another body turns up, Tara must decide if she can trust the man who’s quickly stealing her heart.
My Thoughts: There is nothing like a strong alpha male who is not bad on the eyes and when we get to read about one in a Laura Griffin book, that makes it all the better! This book is the 9th in a series but each one is a stand alone, perfect for always being able to pick up one and devour.
Bringing Liam and Tara together was inevitable and the romantic aspect of this story was just a small portion of the whole book. i actually thought it could have been developed just a bit more. The main focus is the crime and the hunt for the killer. The story is intense at times with twists and turns that keep you on your toes. The ending is surprising and engrossing.
The author is a pro at creating hardworking, tough as nails characters with a bit of a cracking edge; just enough flaws to let in the self doubt, the uncomfortable with others feeling and the workaholic syndrome. This makes for an interesting read that is all encompassing and hard to put down.
Every Laura Griffin book I have read has been great, including Beyond Limits that came out earlier this year. Definitely an author to keep up with in the military, suspense genre.
