This book has a few things going for it, including a cute dog and an unexpected take on the "heart transplant & body memories" trope. Yet another daily deal so low price mitigates plot shortcomings.

This was a good story
We meet Sophie and Bing when she finds a lost dog. However, due to her recent heart transplant surgery she isn't really sure if she could keep the dog. Then Sophie had a few memories that could possibly be those of the stranger who donated her heart. The book mostly explores the murder of lady who had having an affair but could've known Bing's late wife as they worked together. Read the story to solve both murders and the two characters fall in love.

I highly enjoyed this book, it's a little of the beaten path for what I normally read but it kept me hooked from the first chapter. I enjoyed the different POV's along with the mystery and pressure behind trying to find the killer. A little disturbing when you get to the killer's POV, though if you've ever watched Criminal Minds you know that it would be. 4 Stars!

Wow-za. This one threw me for loop after loop. Unlike the second book, where I figured out who the killer was early on, I was completely stumped on who was behind everything until almost the very end. While I could sympathize with some of the feelings that Ethan had, I do confess to wanting to throttle him from time to time over how he reacted and handled things. Still another 4 star read and a series that I'm going to have to continue!

Deathscape by Dana Marton is a 2012 publication.
BOOK BLURB:
After a near-death experience, artist Ashley Price is compelled to paint visions of the dead, and fears she's gone crazy. Then she paints a man buried alive and, recognizing the surroundings, she rushes to save him.
Instead of being grateful to her for rescuing him, Detective Jack Sullivan accuses her of being in league with a serial killer. He swears he will put her behind bars. Except, the more time he spends with her, the more he falls under her spell. Can he trust her, or is he walking into another deadly trap?
This book is a fast paced romantic suspense novel that examines the effects on a person when they are a victim in one way or another of a crime. Ashley is practically a hermit, incapable of taking care of her daughter and Jack is a man that lost his sister to a serial killer and now he is unable to live life normally. His obsession leads him to believe that Ashley could somehow be involved with the killer when he finds her collection of macabre paintings. Ahsley and Jack are both at risk of becoming the next victim. Jack's character flaws lead him to think the worst of people and to bend the rules and treat people unfairly. He slowly comes to realize he has been wrong about Ashley and understands he has a lot of changes to make in his life. He also is realistic enough to know he may never really be normal , but is willing to try for Ashley.
Ashley's ordeal will teach her to face her worse fears and realize she wil be able to cope with her past and live a productive life and be a good mother to her daughter. Ashley and Jack accept that they will still face many challenges, but they will love each other just the way they are. So, the in summary, I enjoyed the character development, the suspense, and the touch of paranormal elements mixed in. I give this one 4 stars.

Jack Sullivan, a detective in the Broslin Creek Sheriff's Department, has been following the serial killer around who killed his sister. He's obsessed. The killer abducts him, tortures him for three days and then buries him alive. Ashley Price is a painter who paints death. This has been happening since she had a near death experience a year ago. She paints Jack buried alive. She recognizes the spot where he is buried as being on her property. She goes out and digs him up. At first, Jack believes that she is working with the serial killer. He soon realizes this isn't true. He's attracted to Ashley and comes to believe that she is in danger. The book is about two individuals damaged by events in their life. Ashley is working hard to come back from her problems. Jack believes the death of the serial killer is the only thing that will help him and he doesn't care if he dies in the process. I have to admit that I was able to figure out who the guilty party was pretty easily. However, that did not make the story any less engaging. I found myself rooting for both of them. I very much enjoyed the ending.
