Attorney in Chicago, Kristen Mayhew has a hell of a record as a
prosecutor. Her
life is forever altered when she discovers three of the defendants that
she
represented, dead in the trunk of her car. It seems that Kristen has an
avenger, determined to get rid of the criminals who were never
convicted, cases
she worked on. Her avenger knows all there is to know about Kristen,
her moves,
her cases and she desperately tries to stay one step ahead as bodies
continue
to be found. Can Kristen rely on one Police Detective to keep her safe
and help
her capture this person hell-bent on retribution?
Detective
Abe Reagan was assigned to the homicide division after being deep
undercover.
With a tragedy that shattered everything he held dear, Abe is haunted
by the
past. When he takes on the case of Kristen Mayhew’s “avenger”, he is
drawn to
Kristen’s strength, beliefs and begins to care for her more than he
should. Can
Able and Kristen work together to catch the killer/stalker who has a
thirst for
killing?
Karen Rose
should be one of the first names on anyone’s favourite list. This
author captures
everything that is good, powerful and addicting about romantic
suspense. I’m Watching You is one of the
best stories of this genre I have ever read.
With
Kristen, Abe and Abe’s family being awesome characters who a reader
can’t help
but love, it’s twisted to even say it, but I found myself liking the
“avenger”
in I’m Watching You as well.
With the scum who prey on those innocent being taken off the streets, I
found
myself teetering on the fence, rooting for the killer but understanding
that
vigilantes are not the way to go either. Ms. Rose compels her reader to
identify with this killer, while also having us hoping he too will be
caught.
With the
budding romance between Kristen and Abe, it is balanced well gripping
intrigue
and volatile suspense. I’m Watching
You is another gloriously fantastic story on the list of this
extremely
talented romantic suspense author. It most definitely should not be
missed!
