LOVED IT! LOVED! LOVED IT! So, I really liked this book. Why?

1. Great PLOT. A true thriller. A vigilante serial killer is slashing their way through Sin City’s baddies. Detectives Levi Abram and Martine Valcourt are on the case. And so is bounty hunter Dominic Russo, ex Army Ranger. Super well paced and interesting. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out who the killer is. I still can’t since this seems to be a five book series. Oh god help me! I won’t be able to wait!

2. The CHARACTERS. Dominic, Dominic, Dominic. *fans self* This hunk of bad-ass is all sweetness inside. With a winning smile. And he’s HUGE. All over. He’s got problems such as a gambling addiction, and no plans for the future. I mean, one can only keep collecting twinks for so long.

Then there’s Levi. Krav Maga expert. Lean, mean, and not the most personable man. He looks down on the likes of bounty hunters like Dominic. So of course, these two are thrown together thanks to our serial killer. And while they only have one sex scene in the book together, it’s scorching hot. There’s other sex, but with other people. No, there’s no cheating aside from a kiss.

Another thing I liked about this book was Levi’s partner, Martine. It’s always wonderful seeing strong female secondary characters who take part in the story in roles other than mother, sister, ex, or BFF.

So, we have a host of characters, male and female. A serial killer of unknown gender. And a budding relationship. Can I just hope and pray that we have a female baddie for once?

You gotta read this book!

Are there any? Vampires don’t count.I remember a movie with Charlize Theron who portrayed a female serial killer. There’s assassins, but that different.

That's the only one I can think of specifically. I *think* I read about some Angel of Death nurse from Texas, killing kids over the last 40 years, too?


Eugenia Ya....ok, we should write one!!!

Ugh! I don't like that answer. :-(


Eugenia It’s totally worth it! Read it, Lyn!


⚣M󲹱⚣ Yeah, I didn't think you would...but it's better to know ahead of time, right?


Lyn❤Loves❤Listening to Real Voices Only!!!!❤️🎧📚 Addict ON HIATUS Who am I kidding, I'm not going to be able to resist will all the raving reviews this book is getting. :-)


⚣M󲹱⚣ That's pretty much exactly what I said. I mean, I never really started in on the C&R books until the last one was done!

Me, too, but I’d only recently switched to MM, so it was no hardship :)


aramat Great review Eugenia!
I have a few books lined to read next and Kill Game is among them, but I couldn't decide. After reading your review I'm bumping it up the queue :)
