Another excellent novel from Karen Rose. Definitely a great end to the trilogy. Full of heart pounding suspense and amazing character studies. Highly recommend the entire trilogy.

The subject is dark, the experiences the characters go through are horrendous but the suspense and mystery and the main couples chemistry made it a solid 3 star for me.
I havent read teh previous books yet, not the usual for me, but def something Im gonna correct.

This book is exceptionally good romantic suspense. The story is quite detailed and very well written. Rose keeps the reader guessing very convincingly and thoroughly builds suspense throughout the series.

Great Read! You have to have read the book prior to this scream for me to follow along with this book.

Usually I really like Karen Rose's novels and devour them, but with this particular series I just became really bored. The characters differed (This one focusing on Susannah and Luke) which gives somwthing fresh to the series but ultimately its the same bad guys, the same themes, and the same problems but stretched out so that Rose can fill more books. I like the Susannah and Luke relationship though it was somewhat predictable but really thought this storyline should have been a one book plot, two at a push!

This was a great wrap up to the little trilogy within the series, books 7-9. I really love all the characters in these books, and the way that most of them are at least loosely connected.
This book was upsetting since it involved so much in the field of pornography and prostitution of young women. Internet crimes are such a big deal these days, and I love the way a school in the book had an assembly for parents where they were able to purchase the software to monitor their children right there on the spot.
Luke and Suzannah were great characters...those Vartinians really have a crappy family, I gotta say.

Kill For Me by Karen Rose is a 2009 Grand Central Publication.
I am finally getting back to this book after repeated tries to work it into my reading schedule. I really like this series and Karen Rose is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors.
This arc in the romantic suspense series features Daniel and Susannah Vartanian and picks up pretty much where the last book left off, after the shocking revelations concerning their brother, Simon.
But, the shocks are just going to keep coming in this book as Susannah reveals all she knows about the death of her friend Darcy, how dark her life had gotten at one point, and the horrible guilt she feels. But, thankfully, she has Luke Papadopoulas helping her put an end to a human trafficking ring that has been in operation for years.
This book is the last in the trilogy and boy is it a twister, with one huge shocker after another, even more stunning family secrets, evil in its lowest depths, and nonstop suspense. At times the twist seemed to go a little overboard, in my opinion, pushing Susannah and Daniel further than was one plausible. It was a pretty 'busy' book with several very diabolical bad guys at work.
But, it does all come together in the end and the conclusion is stunning, with all the pieces of the puzzle fitting into place. The romance between Savannah and Luke is pretty understated with a low steam level. However, as Luke explains to Daniel- Savannah has been through a lot and so it seemed fitting that the love affair was low key.
Overall, this is a very solid trilogy, one I would recommend to mystery, suspense lovers of all kinds, not just fans of romantic suspense. Be sure to read the two books released prior to this one though, because all three books tie in together and you won't really get the big picture otherwise.
