Synopsis

In Deadly Relations, a serial killer of young women hides in plain sight in a quiet county in the Midwest. He hides behind a friendly face that inspires trust, a personality that is charming and persuasive — and has a rage to kill he can't control. Detective Jennifer Brennan, still haunted by her abduction five years before, devotes her life to serve and protect others. So when three young women go missing and are found murdered on her watch, she vows to find the killer — or die trying. A personal relationship with her partner, Detective Blake Stone, would be violating the strictest of the department's unspoken rules and career suicide, especially since she is the sheriff's daughter. But the connection Jennifer has with her partner, Blake Stone, is nothing short of electric. Working with him daily and denying her attraction is hard. But when he moves in to protect her, it becomes unbearable. As they fight temptation, two detectives race against time to find the killer before he strikes again. It is the most important case of their careers. It could be their last.

Review

In Deadly Relations, there is a disturbed and sick serial killer stalking young women. What makes for a very interesting read is that you are privy to the killer's thoughts, motivations and darkness. His identity is not the mystery, but you are kept invested on how, and if, he will be brought down.
Alexa Grace is one of the most talented, upcoming authors. Her characters are believable and strong, her stories credible, her writing, fabulous. She has an easy-to-read style that provides enough details without being overtly graphic.

Jennifer is a super strong female lead she has been through hell & back. I felt for her like no other character. Blake is a strong Italian detective and his grandmother taught him to cook. What girl could want more, right? So throw two attractive detectives together as partners...hmmmmm... I absolutely did not want to do anything but read this book in one sitting...however I had to feed the kids though, grilled cheese is a great dinner right?
I gave this book five stars.
-- Tobi Helton, Reviewer, Forget the Housework, I'm Reading Blog

Grace's third installment of the Deadly Trilogy is addictive, with a spooky quality that will keep readers turning pages all through the night. This suspenseful novel is absolutely worth every second of your time.
