I was literally on the edge my seat throughout this whole book. I couldn’t put it down and had to know what was going to happen next.

Jessa was torn from Jack’s life, but 10 years later she shows up again and neither of them expected to see each other. Their reunion was hot, but it was also shrouded in mystery. What had Jessa been up to all these years, what was she planning?

There are some dark scenes throughout the story, however, don’t distract from the plot. I feel they are truly needed for the story to help explain some things. I know it may not be for everyone but it is definitely not romanticized in any way.

It is so hard to talk about this book without spoiling it, but it is definitely one you’ll want to read because the ending BLEW me away. It was not something that I expected. It does a good job of setting up the story for the second and possibly third books in the trilogy.

It started off a bit slow but I’m so glad I stuck with it as it’s amazing . I couldn’t stop listening it was so good Jessa has been through hell and back and she’s reunited with her first love Jack. She puts everything on the line to get revenge on the one man who killed her family and then tortured her to try and make her bow down to him. There are some triggers which were a little upsetting but it’s such an amazing story it wouldn’t have been as powerful if they were left out.

Kill Code is a romantic suspense novel by author Luna Kayne. It is the first book in a trilogy. I enjoyed Kill Code. I thought some parts of the beginning were a bit slow, but overall this book was a good foundation for what is going to be an eventful trilogy. And Kill Code definitely was a novel that built as it went on. The ending was more than I expected. It certainly set us up for an interesting second novel. Kill Code follows a special forces team in search of a group of hackers. I love anything involving hackers, so I was excited to learn more about what was going on.

I liked the characters, and the romance was certainly pretty steamy in parts. I liked the balance of the romantic elements with the obvious suspenseful atmosphere throughout the story. I really liked that this was a reunion of sorts for our main characters. It was cool that Jessa and jack knew each other from several years back. They were both great main characters, especially Jessa. She really came into her own by the end. I can't wait to see even more character growth from her in the next installment of the trilogy.

Romantic suspense is not a genre that I read of a ton of, but Kill Code was a well done example of the genre. I enjoyed it, and I think I will enjoy the next book even more now that I know a lot of the backstory. There are some darker elements of the story that may not be for everyone, but they are intentional because of the background to the story. Just be aware of that. If you are a fan of dark romantic suspense novels, I think the Kill Code series will be a good one for you to check out.
