Innocent in Death by J.D. Robb
5.0
This book might have just topped purity in death for me! I never thought there would come a time where I would be so annoyed with Roarke, that I wouldn’t even want to read his part. He was so dismissive, annoying and clueless all at the same time! I think this book did exactly what was needed. With this series, we often get carried away thinking Eve and Roarke are nearly perfect in their own way.
I really liked how we got to see Eve’s brutal and raw emotions with this one. That fear of losing something you’ve come to love and live with was shown so well. Especially because she isn’t very open when it comes to her emotions. I also loved the fact that throughout all this, she and all their friends were still very much certain that he would never cheat on her. Even when he was being naive about Magdelana and her antics, you could see he was very aware of Eve even when it didn’t seem like it. Plus Summerset and Eve uniting to take her down just made it all so much better. I’m surprised Roarke didn’t realise she was sneaky as soon as he saw them being a united front!
When it came to the murder however, that was a whole different ball game. I mean I pretty much figured out who the killer was when Eve started realising it but I wasn’t so sure because she was turning her eye on Allika also. It was such a sick and twisted situation at the end but this was a good one honestly. Even when I was annoyed with some parts of the book, I couldn’t bring myself to not continue.
This is definitely one of the best from the series.
