    About this ebook


    Chloe Marin was lucky. She was just a teenager when a beachside party mansion turned into a bloodbath. According to authorities, the killers were later found dead in the swamp. Chloe's not so sure.

    Ten years later, as a psychologist consulting with the cops, she gets drawn in to the disappearance of a swimsuit model. Everyone assumes the girl ran off for some fun in the sun everyone but Chloe, who's been visited by the model's ghost.

    Someone else is interested in the dead girl: Luke Cane, a P.I. investigating the disappearance for her father. Chloe and Luke barely trust one another, but they agree on the important things they will bend the law to catch these killers, and there is an undeniable attraction between them.

    When another mass murder occurs, Chloe's beginning

      It was ok...not enough action. For me this was such a slow read that I had to skim my way to the end of the book.
    • 1/5
      With a description like this book has, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that I thought this book was a murder/scary/things that go bump in the night type of book. Imagine my surprise when I started reading the eGalley of The Killing Edge by Heather Graham and discovered that there is a whole subset of the romance genre known as “romantic suspense”. Huh. Who knew???This book is filled with the author’s idea of violent crime and malevolent suspense, with a healthy dose of all those cliché’s that make a romance book…well…a romance book. You know exactly what I’m talking about; the prickly and cynical, but secretly tortured anti-hero/hero, rugged and virile, often with an absurd eye color described as “steely gray” and a manly name; in this story, Luke Cane. Add to the mix, the spunky, but beautiful heroine, who, although she professes to loathe said hero, finds herself inexplicably drawn to him, like a moth to the flame. “Luke reached across the table and touched her arm. She started, looking at his hand. It was large, with long fingers; maybe he should have been a guitarist or a pianist. His nails were clipped short, and they were clean. His palm felt callused; she imagined that when he wasn’t investigating someone, he indulged in some kind of manual labor. Building things, maybe. They were very masculine hands. She gritted her teeth again, wondering why his touch could send rivulets of fire streaking through her when she was absolutely convinced that she didn’t like the man."Gaaaccckkkk…….….Where to begin? I know that people just love the whole romance genre. And I’m sure that nothing can make a romance novel better than a couple of scary bad guys and maybe a touch of gratuitous violence, but seriously? …..”rivulets of fire????!”Gaaaacccckkkk…..A bit of advice, if you put a paragraph like the aforementioned one anywhere in the story…it doesn’t matter how many dead bodies you sprinkle around, you’re still writing a romance novel. (And lots of loyal readers LOVE the genre,you'll sell loads of books and make scads of money--just don’t be deluded into thinking this is the next Philip Marlowe.) I’m having way too much fun smacking this book around and my mother, (Remember our moms? They’re those voices we hear in our ears, whispering to us “If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all!”), well, my mom would not be happy with me. So I should stop, especially since I have to confess that I completely DNF’d this book. As in Did Not Finish. I gave it a shot. I even suspended my fifty-page rule, the one that says if I hate it during the first fifty pages, I’ll give it a pass. I decided to try for 75 pages, but sadly, I only made it to page 66. Then the delete button was pushed on the Sony Reader and I moved on. Maybe it got better. I never hung around for the ghost part. I wanted to, but I guess I never could get past the “rivulets of fire” bit. Review copy provided by those fine folks at Net Galley and its not their fault I thought the book was gacky. It’s a personal failing of my own.
    • 5/5
      Omg what a great book!This book keeps you on the edge of your seat ! It is a must read !!!
    • 3/5
      It is a romantic suspense novel. Nothing earth shattering and it needed more character development. She put random things like ghosts, but we never learned why she could see these ghosts.

      Good news it was a very fast easy read. Perfect for a beach.
