Mickey moved to Alaska to find some peace. But that's all destroyed when a killer starts shooting everyone. But not everything is as it seems. Will Mickey survive and more importantly help the other inhabitants of the small town in Alaska survive? Find the official description on Goodreads.

Wow, Cold Heart starts off quickly and doesn't really slow down. There is a chapter or two where you get a chance to experience some of the peace that Mickey moved to Alaska for but afterward it really didn't stop. And it was scary, and disturbing to think about that actually happening. I had goose bumps.

Cold Heart grips you and doesn't let you go. The writing draws the reader in and you find it hard to stop. And there are at least several things that you never expected or never want to know about and wow. I seriously needed to take a break and just read some romcom to make things a bit better.

Cold Heart doesn't have any romance so if you're a romance only person then I wouldn't suggest it but if you're looking to take a break and don't have too much of an overactive imagination you'll probably really enjoy it and not need a night light to sleep.

Deadly Fantasies By Kelly Miller

"Now it was time to repay the favor." -Kelly Miller, Deadly Fantasies

Detective Kate Springer knows that the early morning call can mean only one thing - a murder has taken place. But what she doesn't expect to hear is the voice of her psychologist confessing to her husband's murder. Loyal to a fault, Kate runs to the aid of Dr. Nina Grace. But is she truly just a victim in all of this? Or is she the murderer? Find the official description on Goodreads.

When I first got this book, I was a little nervous, but I was assured that it was meant to be a standalone as well as part of the series so it would not be difficult to read this book. It's the second in the Detective Kate Springer series. And I wasn't missing anything at all. If anything was mentioned about Kate's past, there was some kind of explanation. I didn't feel like I was missing anything by not having read the first book in the series before reading Deadly Fantasies. It was easy to slip into the book even without having read the first book.
