Last Breath by Kerri Ann

It’s not unusual for me to finish a book and be pulled in two directions. Part of me loves it, while the other part is not sure how she feels. This is one of the stories that is difficult to review and my mind is still reeling from all that took place, which is saying…

These books really have to be reviewed together. Both are fairly short and create a perfectly written piece of art. I read each one in one sitting, unable to put them down. A huge warning for all readers out there: this series takes dark to a new level. I've read dark romance and dark suspense. This…
