Every Dark Corner is the third installment in Karen Rose’s Cincinnati romantic suspense series

FBI agent Decker has just come out of coma and with agent Kate is desperate to help lives of kids that are in danger. The antagonist is The Professor who sells drugs to kids and also exploits them to make pornographic movies. There are a lot of dead bodies and a whole team racing against time to save the victims.

I would strongly recommend reading this series in order as there are a lot characters from the other books which are all interconnected. The subject matter is dark and difficult to read but Karen Rose does a great job telling the story from different POV’s even the Professors. The romance felt a little rushed even though the book is 600 some pages long. It’s a good romantic suspense novel and I am looking forward to reading the next book about Adam and Meredith in the Cincinnati series .

Many thanks to Berkley Publishing Group& NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

I liked this book better than the last one, but so far the first is still the best. On to the fourth!

Two FBI agents investigates a child sex trafficking ring. He's dedicated, protective with an iron will while she's tough, with mad ninja skills and  hidden pain. I loved their romance, it feels believable and real despite the short time. They forged a bond even with him in a coma, and things are intense from the moment he woke up. They continue falling deeper and there's a feel of kindred souls. 

I adored his sweetly protective side, and the tender moments where they support and heal each other. Though there's a need to overlook the fact they're getting hot and steamy days out from his induced coma (I managed to 😂). Suspense wise, it's solid and gritty, but also very very hard to read at times - the villains are *really* sick bastards. The team spirit is great, loved Kate's friendship with Deacon (who is awesome).

Special Agent Griffin Davenport is in coma but someone special is taking care of him... He senses her, wants to touch her and alert that there are children in danger... But where? Who? He can't remember! The sweet voice will help him, but first he has to wake up!
Special Agent Coppola wants to finish the case, but she will need the help of the handsome agent that she's taking care of in the hospital... Would it be soon enough when he wakes up to help her?
So many strings undone... someone has to know something! Ready to check every dark corner?
First of all, this is the third book of the Cincinnati Series, I don't recommend you to read it alone, start with the first of the series, there are a lot of characters in the story that you will be lost if you start with this book. But I can assure you they are worth the read!
This is a crude and tough book; with drugs, pornography and child abuse, never explicit, of course, but you will suffer just to imagine it!
I have read all Karen Rose books and she has so many characters that you will need a little help in this book, they explain a little bit the connections in between the stories but it's difficult to follow sometimes!
As always, Karen has created a non-stop thriller full of mystery and romance, but this time is a race against some child life... and lucky for them, the police will make everything to help them and catch the monster before is too late! I always wish that if something like this happens in reality, the police would be eager to sacrifice everything like the detectives do in the books!
Every time I read a book that has something about child pornography in it, it repulses me! How is it possible that some people wanted to make children suffer and make money with it? We live in a crazy world, don't we?
While you are reading this book your heart will beat really fast in every page; with the action, the mystery and all the characters involvement, you will not want to stop till the last page! And of course wanting to know who will be the main characters in the next Karen Rose book! ;)
Do you know a Professor?

Fast paced and felt like an old KR book. I love when I am reading and all of a sudden an hour is gone and 100+ pages are gone and I don't even realize it.

One of the things I like the best about books by Karen Rose is the way she develops the relationships between her characters. Decker and Kate have to face a lot of darkness to come out into the light together.

After I started this book I realized I’ve read it before, but it was good enough to read again, and I did. This was a tough one; aside from all the crime and murder, this book includes child abuse and rape and drugs. It was a very dark story, but it was excellent. There are so many twists and turns to the plot but the author just wraps them all up so nicely at the end. The good thing is that you don’t get the feeling that she just wrapped it all up to in the story.

Cheesy quick read, wish there was a little more mystery and a little less romance. Reads like a TV show

I am not considering this one a DNF, but am considering it a BBS (Be Back Soon). Putting this one down for now so I can go back and reread the other two novels in this series! I don't think I can do this one the proper justice without it.
