4 out of 5 lattes
Captivated, right out the gate, is a great story.
Stacy-Deanne delivers a fast-paced thriller with strong characters, intense plot, and wicked twists. I was engrossed with the story's dialogue and the friendship between main characters, Baltimore detectives Lisa Swanson and Dee Quarter, almost as much as I enjoyed the hum of romantic and suspenseful tension that thrummed throughout the story.
Another PLUS to this story? It's the second book in Stacy-Deanne's Bruised series; however, I never felt lost like I needed to read the first book to understand the second. Now, with that said, I'm already on board to head to book one and then check out books three and four. Check out Stacy-Deanne's website to learn more about them yourself!
If you're in need of a quick, engaging thriller that will probably have you dropping your jaw at least once, look no further.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
