Review – Dark Deception

August 3, 2017 By The Suspense Zone

Defenders of Justice series.  I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I did the first, though the action and suspense were still top notch and engaging. Kate is a hurting woman, hidden in the witness protection program, or so she thinks. When her sister’s killer is released from prison, he denies he did it and that the real killer is dead. But some one is still out there and her life is in danger.

I did like Tony, he was real, but also hurting, like Kate. He was also confused. Torn  between attraction to Kate, the truth, and direct orders, plus under attack from an unknown assailant, he didn’t know where to turn.

If you like romantic suspense, pick up a copy of DARK DECEPTION. You’ll be kept up late reading until the end…  There are a lot of unanswered questions causing this reader to wonder what’s in store in Ms. Mehl’s next book.
