Shadow Angel by D.K Hood

The second book in the new series detailing the strong woman detective Beth Katz.  If you haven’t read the first in the series it was amazing.  

Beth Katz is a well designed character and I really enjoy reading about her and her new home. She is strong and independent which is great but also has some really bad qualities as well showing her as a complete person.

While this series may never take the place in my heart of Alton and Kane it is very strong and has so many positives to it.  

There are references back to the other series but it feels like it’s more in passing than an actual full link.  This makes it easier to handle at the same time as you feel a closeness with the books and yet also a distance.

I think what I like the most is the style of this book.  It has the serial killer as the good guy vibes which is great as you don’t know who the good guys are for part of this.  Vigilante justice can be very entertaining to read about especially when the person doing it is a cop. For me that is one thing I really like as it shows the anti-hero which is attractive to read about.

In some ways Beth seems like a shadow of a person as she has two sides to herself. The FBI officer who is helpful and the avenging dark Angel.

I always have high hopes for a new series and this one never disappoints especially when old favourites pop in to help with the cases.  The tie in to the authors original series is what helps to make these characters stand out more than they already do.

The premise of this series has really drawn me in and I find that the intrigue of this series makes it even better especially as anticipation for what is to come is very attractive.
