The Perfect Gift for Thriller Lovers - Dark Stories of Revenge and Justice. ★★★★★ "Reacher fans should enjoy this ... a thrill-packed adrenaline rush." AJ Norton Rogue assassin Tess Williams preys on killers, pimps, gangbangers, rapists... the monsters that ruin lives. Haunted by a tragic past, Tess will risk everything to protect the innocent and avenge the dead. Kill Switch When Tess investigates the disappearance of a beautiful, young woman in Eastern Europe, she slams into a vicious gang of kidnappers. These bloodthirsty psychos will butcher anyone who gets in their way. Outgunned, outnumbered, and out of options, Tess plunges into a life-or-death struggle to rescue the woman. But with the clock ticking and the body count rising, will she discover that victory sometimes comes at a price too terrifying to pay? Amazon #1 Bestseller in Crime Fiction (Apr 2016) Angel of Darkness A crazed sniper slaughters a woman on a Manhattan street. Another day, another kill. Then another. Determined to nail him, Tess carves a swathe of carnage through the city, unaware of the ambush she's hurtling toward. By the time she realizes, it's already too late. But just when all seems lost, Tess uncovers a secret that changes everything. Injured, out of time, and out of hope, Tess has no choice but to race to face the killer. But he's already lining up another target. Can Tess save them? Amazon #1 Bestseller in Mystery (Jul 2018) Blood Justice Tess has hunted killers all over the world using her lethal skills, so solving a straightforward homicide in her own backyard should have been easy. But clashes with underworld thugs slam Tess into one dead end after another. Then a startling discovery makes her blood run cold - she finds the one person who holds the key. Someone powerful. Connected. Lethal. A showdown with them will see her in a body bag. Tess knows some crimes are worth killing for, but are they ever worth dying for?

It really is for fans of Jack Reacher!" Stephen ★★★★★ "The depth of Tess, the lead character is surprising ... I'd recommend these to any fan of action-thrillers." John Mariotti ★★★★★ "Fast paced thriller with suspense packed onto every page. Loved it."

Wishing you a Fantastic Christmas and Wonderful 2021!" space for you to personalize the message. It's the perfect gift for thriller lovers. Or a terrific collector's edition for you! Please note that these stories are not Christmas-themed but pulse-pounding tales of revenge and justice.

OH MAN!! I was as emotional as I could be as I rapidly read about Tess, she was a one woman wrecking machine and I would hate to be on the wrong side. In Poland, Tess had delayed her return to the states. I loved that Catalina, Elena's daughter wanted to take her ill mother to get treated in the UK and walked up and down the streets to get any kind of work, but no one had jobs but then a man offered her work to clean at his clinic, Once the attractive man got her into his car, he took her to a poor section and said that were repairing the dismal looking building, but he lied! As Tess and Elena looked for clues to track Cat, they were thrown into the underbelly of Poland, AND NOW I JUST HAVE TO READ BOOK TWO!! ( )

A great starting sentence sets off this novel, leaving the reader thoroughly unsettled as a young woman faces her worst fears. Cool metaphors bring the reader closer to Cat, making her sudden departure from the story all the more disturbing. But the echo of Cat will reach a remarkable protagonist, setting off a fast-paced chain of events, lots of graphic violence, introspective recollection of a backstory not yet revealed, and appropriately inappropriate language.

There are some surprising smiles in among the violence of this tale. Cat’s mother Elena declares “I’m sick, not old” and sets to work with a laptop. Bad guys get what’s coming to them. And Tess, the ever surprising protagonist, reveals just enough hints of her past to make her present work. Like a female Batman, she’s learned great skills, but she isn’t a killer, rather “a woman doing what was right for no other reason than because she could.”

Action-packed, dark, hard-boiled, and with the promise of more, Kill Switch is a violent novel that doesn’t glorify pain, a dark novel unafraid to look into the darkest places where a woman can be lost, and a pleasingly complete story with the promise of more to come.

Disclosure: I was given a copy and I offer my honest review ( )
