When a Heart Stops is only the second book I’ve read by Lynette Eason, but it’s enough for me to know that she is now one of my favorite authors! I LOVE a good suspense book that keeps me guessing and wondering who is behind it all…well this book definitely gave me that! Even though I had kind of guessed who the killer was, there were a lot of surprises!
I loved how we got to learn a lot about Serena’s and Dominic’s characters in this book – they are both new favorites of mine. I was a little frustrated at one character in this book when he/she did something that I found completely foolish (not going to say what), but I guess it made the story more believable, because people actually do foolish things in real life.
One thing that made When a Heart Stops so creepy to me was the fact that we got to see inside the killer’s mind (although it didn’t identify the killer) and the killer’s “game” was so horrible! Gives me chills just thinking about it.
In my opinion, When a Heart Stops is another hit from Lynette Eason and I can hardly wait to read the next book in the Deadly Reunions series! If you enjoy suspense books with some romance, I most definitely recommend When a Heart Stops, but I think you might want to first read When the Smoke Clears because it’ll probably help you follow the story better.
I’m an avid reader who loves books that keep me glued to the page, anticipating what is going to happen next, and suspense books definitely give me that!
