Her Dying Kiss is the 10th book in Detective Katie Scott series and it started out with a strong opening when Katie’s fiancée went missing one day without a trace.
For Katie, this is a new tough reality where she has to keep going to work but also worry about her fiancé – Chad.
The plot is quite complicated with so many leads which somehow got mixed up together. It’s quite difficult to separate which one is for the serial killer case and which one is for Chad or whether both case are connected. That might be the reason why it's so hard for me to figure out the culprit because my focus is all over the place.
I really like how the other characters such as Det. Sean, John, Katie’s uncle and friends are all trying to help and support her on her worst day.
I also admire Katie because her sadness didn’t keep her too long from her work to keep saving other people and solving difficult cases.
While I enjoy most of it, the ending felt a bit too rushed when Katie and her friends confront the culprit.
I also wish there’s more progress about Chad’s missing case.
Overall, it’s a good addition and it also felt different compare to the previous books I’ve read by making it more personal to Katie’s life with Chad’s disappearance.
I’m looking forward to read the next book, I want to know how Katie is gonna save Chad and be happy together again.
